Oh yeah, one other thing I forgot to mention: I pulled a Zeke and kicked a little kid in the head. In fact, the little kid was Tom's child I believe...

Eric basically bitch slapped the kid with his foot. It was so minimal and soft, and thus....very very funny.

This little kid was pretty cool - kicking with us...chillaxing. He was 8. I sat down to take a break, and he came by me and put his hands on my shoulders and started talking to me. I'm sitting and he's standing, so we're face to face - with his arms on my shoulders. He started asking me questions about footbag, etc. His sister or young mom came by later and said hi...she was pretty hot. Later he stood next to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

That's my boy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm down for kicking whenever, Eric. I'm not sure how long James is staying. Mike Hansen will be here thursday though

. Those parks do have lights. BOOYAH.

Mike Hansen is not coming tomorrow. He may be able to come later this week, but not definite.

I'm down for friday.

Hey Tom, do you live in Northbrook? Or someone did, right?

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 30 Jun 2005 19:47

Not me.

Gotchya. My bad.

Also, I'm gonna have to back out of driving out tomorrow (friday) to the Taste. I don't get home from work until like 4pm, and I got stuff to do with my dad later that evening. So driving there and back wouldn't be realistic.

Anyscrew, I hope everyone has fun shredding with Risden

Maybe I can make it out sunday.

BTW, someone should start a thread about Davidson's event. Cuz I just got an e-mail about that. But I'm too tired to do it now. G'night. Later...zzZzzzZzzzZzz

Ahh Yahhh, last weekend was so fun

. On saturady I went down to taste with Zeke, Hood, and Dooly. We hit up Potbellys on the way and gave John a taste of one of the best sammitches in Chicago (since Fontano's had already closed) and while we were ordering, this group of Puritans, all bonneted-up, sang us a song and blessed our meal

. The we got down to taste and met up with the rest of the peeps (Jon, Shawn & GF, Nathan, and Tom came later). I was in a really fun circle with John and Shawn at first. Damn... John got a lot better than the last time I saw him at worlds. His drifter moves are super crisp and solid, and his Rev. swirls are butter. Rev. Swirling pickup>Fairy clipper was a smooth looking combo I remember. Shawn is progressing really well too, he was doing pixie and ducking moves bs and I think ducking legovers, which I find real hard. I was actually playing alright today, which was refreshing after not playing for so long. Somehow I remembered how to do eggbeaters again and could hit pdx egg midstring and fairy same eggbeater, and bedwetter was feeling easy even though I wasn't actually hitting it

. I also had a new 7 add rolling of my foot, I'll post about it later once I get it on tape. Then later I kicked with Tom, Jon....Nagela, and John. Tom is getting so good! It's so awesome to see, he has the same smooth style as before, but his strings are longer and his moves are way more solid. Right after he told this guy he had been kicking for only a few months he busted the easiest looking pigbeater I've ever seen. Then I played some Frisbee with Zeke and Dooly and I had to be relocated from my original spot cause I kept on almost hitting this picknicking family

, I'm not that good at frisbee. Then I went back to Tim house (who wasn't home) with Zeke, John, and Dooly. We were bumping some MC Hawking on the way, AHHH YAHHH, Oh Snap. When we got there Dooly John and I met up with my GF and we got ready to go to this awesome 70's themed party. The party required 70s dress and no one else had any with them but luckily my extensive pimp closet managed to wrap those boys up something fierce. Hopefully John will post a pic. The party was so fun, there were 3 really good bands playing floyd, radiohead, and tool covers, a pool, a hot tub, a full bar with tons of cheap drinks, and several kegs. John and my GF got TRASHED! At the end of the night John had passed out on a steel workbench next to a table saw and Dooly and I had to each take half of him and carry him out to the car. We opened the back door and just as we tossed his unconscious semi-naked (he had been swimming before he passed out so he was only wearing his bathing suit) body onto the floor of the back seat, the cops s-l-o-w-y rolled by and just gave us this look like the bottom half of

mixed with the top half of

. Hehe. I got pretty drunk too and ended up making out with this random cute chick in the swimming pool right after carrying my passed out GF to a bedroom to sleep

. I felt pretty shitty and told her the next morning and all way forgiven

. Anyway we all managed to make it back to tim's house sometime around 5 or 6 am and passed out. I wake up to find a blanket-clad Mahood frankensteining into my room (after first frankensteining into a different random tenants apartment on accident

) trying to figure out how to order a pizza so I look at a clock... 8 IN THE MORNING?!? Waaaaaaaaaaaaay to early to be conscious, but somehow we all manage to get up and hit the Old Country Buffet for some crappy greasy breakfast. I'll pick up on the rest of the weekend after work. I've been getting payed to write this

Just curious, did you get these from the WFA? Casue if you did, I can get you a better deal next time

. Also, after testing these out, I do like them - more durable than the original Mr. But, they don't perform *quite* as well, as they're just a bit rolly.

Peace.

Hey Daryl, I'm pretty sure that Zeke got them from Paul Mestas.

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 03 Jul 2005 21:49

Yes, I got them straight from Paul. Fear not, I WILL still be ordering from you in the near future.
