West Side Story footbag remake, proposal thread.

If we are going to be the pride of India any longer, we need to make a footbag musical. I'm calling on Footbag's A-listers to make this happen.

Background Information
The Where: Oakland California
The When: Worlds 2010
The Who: You
The How: You

The premise is that, we need two sides of a vicious, grueling battle to take place showcasing the "Sharks" and "Jets", both footbag gangs, from the east and west coast of North America. I proposed the following Actors to be the head of each gang,

Jets (home turf): Jim Pimpske, Lil 'Bo peep Gatesman, and Senior Landes.
Sharks (..Other turf): The Destroyer, Mr. Superman, and Ianek the convict Regimbald.

We will need about 20 other actors I assume, and this is where the magic happens. We need volunteers from each coast to back up our heroic heroes in their quest to see who will dominate, and then a few extras to draw Chalk Circles on the ground, ride bicycles, and act scared at the site of snapping fingers. With this video, we could scare Jere into the shadows of video making, as he marvels at our majesty.

There are many variables left untouched within this masterpiece, and they include...

1.) Director
2.) Editor
3.) Ted Fritsch's cooperation, as he must somehow be involved.
4.) A hair stylist to slick hair back
5.) Hardcore Shred.

I reckon that this would have to take place either one day before, or after worlds for full actor cooperation. In fact, I reckon that without serious fore-thought and preparation, it wont happen at all. However, that would be some form of treason to screw up such an opportunity for fame. I ask you, the modified partaker, to rise to the occasion and show who are men, and who are mice. If you have any input in how to make this happen, or just opinions in general do post here. This is what footbag has been waiting for.

I'm in. I love West Side Story... We need to have synchronized sequences where three gang members are doing the same tricks and moving forward towards the other side, then they retaliate with synchronized footbag tricks. Sounds cheesy, but that's how West Side Story is.

We also need some new music because I think that the West Side Story's music is trademarked...

I guess it's been a long time since I've seen that movie...

I re-watched the intro Jay posted, and I think the only thing that *could* make it gayer would be adding a bunch of shirtless guys in short shorts.

Why is it that when you see a cool movie when your 10 years old it's never cool when you watch it much later in life?

I just wanted to note that Ianek has look in his eyes that means business and Jorden is throwing down gang signs. Those west coasters better look out.

Haha, Jay I remember talking about this with you :)

Be fun to do, but just have something like a mock up rivalry between East/West and go from there.

If there is free time, be happy to film.

But no dancing like West Side, footbag gets enough crap as is.
Look a BLOG! That I never update
