How often does the biggest professional skateboarder in the world come to Columbia, Mo.? Tony Hawk and crew are making an appearance at the Columbia Cosmopolitan Recreation Area today to give skateboarding demonstrations. He announced the event on his Twitter feed earlier today (twitter.com/tonyhawk).

There will be free Shakespeare's pizza, too. In conclusion, this is the best thing ever.
