It sure is

Seattle was so amazing. Brett and Chris are real cool guys, it was a lot of fun to stay with them. Lots of fun hanging out with Brett, he is such a nice guy! Brett rocks the short shorts baby!

Peter is the chillest guy you will ever meet. He is so layed back and down to earth. I had the most amazing time hanging with him! I learned a lot about stretching and juggling, so I am really happy.

Props to nate for taking rippin run! Brett took second in rippin run which was sweet!

Too many things to remember, I can't organize any of them... It was awesome!

What a great event!

I think the biggest props go to Alex, Matt, Justin, and whoever else put a lot of their time and effort into organizing this sport. Thanks to Alison for coordinating the volunteering, of which I'm glad I did. As for competition, huge props to Nate. I hope some one got all of the Rippin' Runs on video instead of one, like last year. And as for the people I met, everyone was super personable and cool. It was fun kicking it with Rune Pederson, Matt Emmings, Steve Goldberg, and others, and cool to meet Nate, James, and Brett - all of which represented! It sucks that you didn't compete, James. Next year you're going to dominate, just keep at it.

Also, congratulations to Kevin and Dan for coming in first place intermediate with me.

When will the full results be posted, if anyone knows?

Many thanks, Mr. Lovely.

Thanks for getting the potentially bomb ass footage.

Yo Evan I can't wait till you put those rippin runs out! I'm so glad someone taped them.

Oh, and thanks for giving Nate, Brett, and me a ride to Richie's house. I would have never been able to drive out there considering how f-ckd up I was. You the man Evan!

Hey y'all, thanks to everyone who made the trip to the 3rd annual SJFF. I know I had fun.

I wanted to let people know that we do still have T-Shirts available. We had accidentally locked them up and weren't able to sell any shirts on the last day. So if you're one of those people who were bummed they didn't get a shirt, send me an email. They're $10.

See ya next year!

p.s. post footy

Seattle was of course the amazing bomb event. This has to qualify as one of the best, most professional events produced in footbag. The shred was crazy with tuan, daryl, penske, lon, allan, nate, red, brett, ricky (looking not-injured), ect ect. all going off. The show was super great held in a sweet theater; the parties were epic
and the city of Seattle is great. Some great memories included Bruce Lee's grave, late nite 4 square, John Popper, nate and james' trinity, allan vs. penske on sunday nite (if you were there you know what i'm saying), Evan's special goodies, penske's JAR, hanging with the brothers, bagel throwing, the best espresso, and me freaking Steve Goldberg out with my Fri. nite performance art.
I will never miss this event, huge thanks and props to Brothers from Different Mothers and everyone involved.
Alex and Matt threw down tons of their own money and time to make it happen so support them by buying the rest of their killer t shirts.
See you there next year.

Sounds like an awesome event. Shame I missed it.

Where might one purchase said t-shirt - especially as I'm in Australia?

If you send me a check and your address I'll send you off a shirt. Just let me know what size you are and add an additional $5 for shipping to the far side of the world. We'll pay whatever the difference is.

I'd love to announce the dates for next year's fest early enough to get some of the ozzie's and kiwi's to come out. I'd also like to see some of the Japanesee and European's as well. We were lucky enough to have Rune from Denmark come this year.

Alex, I noticed on Sunday you had some shirts from the past events for sale? You got any of those left?

pill · Post by **pill** » 21 Nov 2004 12:23
