OK, so I was initially writing up this terribly long post about how much fun this years Bluesfest was. But I can't type very well and I get distracted easily. I did have a draft started but I thihnk I'll just convert it to a list if the fun stuff that went down.
Friday
-Met a few new freestylers.
-Gillette truck. We set up near this trailor truck that was giving away vibrating womens shavers. All the women working there were drop dead gorgeous!
-Great hacking.
Saturday
-Fontano's. Got to eat at one of my favorite places. Best 'sammiches' in the world. Bellieve it!
-Nathan, Sean & Brian. met and kicked with 3 new players. Played some light hearted 4 square.
-Tim, Reile & Nyki came out. Whoa! It was like a CIC reunion of sorts
-Ronnie. One of my favorite people to hack with. Easily the best hacker I know. You have to see this guys vertical leap to believe it. He brings so much energy to the circle and we end up trying to top the other's flyers. Good times.
-More great hacking.
-Jerome. An old friend from highschool. This guy is hilarious. You put the 2 of us in the same circle and I gaurantee we'll have you on your knees laughing in no time. Good hacker to boot!
-2 shred circles!
-Busted toe guy. Oh man... I'll save this for my personal blog even though it was a group affair. Oh man.
-Ate at Jimmy John's. A group of us managed to find an open restaraunt to eat at befre we left downtown.
-Reile wakes me up on the train to show me the difference in the tan of his arms
-Crotchfire. We introduced Brian to the club's favorite game while hanging out at Tim's house. Probably one of the funnest session we've ever had. Awesome way to end the night.
Sunday
-Ronnie. Started the day right by hacking with Ronnie. No one inspires me to play at my best like this guy does. Even Eric and Reid from FTB hacked with us for a while, doing flyers and diving saves.
-Best hack circle ever! Tom, Reile, Meinard, Freddy, Ronnie, Nathan and I with Tim, Shawn and Jon playing though every so often made up one of the best circles I've ever hacked in. Everyone was focused and going for everything. It was so great to see all the players trying their best for a hack.
-Gabe and Saul. Gabe is an old friend from college that can do some freestyle. Saul and I go way back. We kicked with each other all the time back in highschool and I was more than surprised to see what a talented kicked he still is.
-
Light up footbag. Finaly got to try this out. Not a freestye bag at all. Not too bad for kicking though. Still, fun circle while it lasted.
-Light up Frisbee. This was the shit. Nice weight, stable and lights up! Me and a few guys spent the rest of the night tossing the disc and we got so many people asking us where we bought it. We got so cought up in the fun that we almost forgot about all the people wandering in and out the park. Some cops asked us to tone it down, whatever that means.
So what made this the best Bluesfest ever? Tons of great poeple having fun playing all different kinds of footbag. We had people shredding all day. Introduced more people to 4 square. Then there was some great hacking on all three days. Not to mention the turn out of players. Words really can't express the joy of seeing more people come out to kick with us now. It really does make this sport more fun when you get to kick and hang out woth more people.
Taste if Chicago is next week. It's gonna be like Bluesfest but for ten days...
