Fri Jul 15

Fun day full of hack.

Demo went well.

I might be on TV in a couple months on a show called Hit or Miss. It's a cable access show for just northern Oregon. But my routine only had 1 drop and should be very cool to watch on TV for whomever happens to see it.

Sat Jul 16

Good Sleep again.

Good Breakfast Chocolate AGAIN

Soar

Left Jam to go to Demo.

Shredded hard.

Dropped 6 times during the last 40 seconds of my "Routine"(yeah right)

Still placed 3rd.

Got $500

First Jumbo Check I know of was given to the "Flash" for an excellent Dropless Routine. Jimske got $750 for 2nd and Ahren and Jane got $250 each for competeing(spelling?)

The crowd was more adult and kinda small like about 100 people. The music wasn't very loud and the stage wasn't very high off the ground. Other than that it was great.

Sun Jul 17

Slept from like 5am-930am but slept well.

Soooo Soar

Went to the Jam earlier than everyone else and then left for a few hours for a BBQ and when I came back almost all the shredding was over. But I played with Jimske and Hit a new trick. Diving Gyro Torque. Dive fist then Mobius, NOT Spin then Diving Torque. Anyhow, it was a great event. I hope it happens again next summer

Charlie's Chocolate Factory was unique and memorable. I liked it.

Sleep is important.
Medidation is powerful.
Pain comes from worldly attachments.
The best things in life are free.
True love is real.

Good luck Lon. Use the force to your advantage.
