Charles Phoenix's Moonlight Rollerway Holiday Jubilee

Here are some videos and photos from Charles Phoenix's wonderful Moonlight Rollerway Holiday Jubilee. I've been to several of Charles' slideshows before, but didn't realize that this particular event would be 1/3 slide show and 2/3 wildly inventive roller skating holiday extravaganza. The skaters of all ages were incredible. I enthusiastically second the Atwater Village Newbie's endorsement: "the best 3 hours of Christmas-related fun we could have without standing directly under mistletoe".

Thriller on roller skates.

Some adorable junior skaters.
