I don't think there is gonna be as many people as I thought, so I'm debating on making Jungle Juice at the player's party instead of buying a Keg and only drinkin half of it. Actually, Jungle Juice was the original idea(good stuff). Jungle juice is some different fruit juices, lots of fruit dumped into it, with some everclear and let sit for atleast 1 day to soak. Thoughts ?

Edit : Thanks Nathan, since you were so cool bout it all, I'm gonna make a trip up to Funtastiks as long as my work is cleared, which it should be.

I always drink beer. I like liquor too but it's definately another level. But I'm always down for jungle juice! Especially is you guys are prepared to see me wasted! We could get some of both. Damn this jam is gonna kick ass! Who wouldn't want to go to this? Shred, alcohol, barbecue food. What more can you ask for? Cheerleaders?

see you all soon,

Jim

I can play drums,clarinet, some piano, little harmonica. So if you feel like rockin out on Sat. night at the party in the basement, rock on ! See you all soon. I guarantee I will never want to get out of work more than I will tomorrow morning...work 9am -1pm.

I'll write a big fat review later, but I'll try to sum it up as of now cause I'm trying to upload and do some rough editing on 3 90 minute tapes (lotta footage!) I'm also going to learn premiere pro so expect a good video not too soon.

It was a blast havin everyone come to Parkersburg, my hometown. It was so nice seeing new faces like the Tennessee guys and Penske. Everyone else I already knew. I just wish Jake Milofsky and Ryan Thomass coulda made it, we had a lot of fun last time ! I had 4 shred sessions in 3 days so right now I'm pretty sore.

Sat. shred was inside the clinic. We had a killer setup except for the fact that we didn't have a big turnout. It seemed everyone was havin a good time. That night we had a pretty good party. I wish I wouldn't have passed out so soon...I was suprised though that we went through 2 bottles of everclear and then some. Quite impressive ! Sunday shred was perfect. The weather was sooooo nice. We went out to the tennis courts and I had to unplug the vending machine so I could get some power out to our stereo. Luckily we got there right in time cause I had to tell some tennis players that we needed those first courts

After we shredded our asses off, we went to a pool that was in site and just went nuts over there. I am currently sun burnt, and glad, cause it reminds me of all the fun we had

After all that, you think we'd be done shredding, NO WAY ! Since Caleb arived Sunday and he was also stayin till Monday like Penske we decided to have ourselves a session. Quite epic. Back to editing, peace ! Also glad to say that Freedom really helped out with lots of sponsored goodies that I gave out to everyone. Also Nathan Pipenberg for sendin bag here. I'll be sendin this bag out to Andy Chumbley for drivin out so far and impressin me with some solid stuff.

Where do I start? So much funny shit happened this weekend its hard to remember it all. The jam was amazing. We had a sick indoor spot with A/C!!! It was a good turnout. A fun bunch of homies to party with. The first day I got there I shredded with Brad, Jon, and Bob. It was fun and everyone shredded good. That night we chilled and drank a few beers. We watched the Dave Chappelle stand up dvd and I dont think I've ever laughed so hard.
(whoever hasn't seen this check it out!) The next day I woke up bright and early for shred. I made it to the site around 2:00. Not before I got an arbys beef and cheddar! This was the key to shredding. Everyone had a great time kicking. I was impressed by the Tennessee guys. They drove a long way to come shred, and they both had sick skills. The CIC was there. It was awesome chilling with those guys (Zeke, Eric, and Tom) After shredding we were ready to party. I wanted to see what this Jon Mahood had in him! I think he was almost over anxious. He bong several cups of Jungle Juice. He started getting this look in his eye. Like when you talked to him it seemed like he was staring at the wall behind you. A couple hours into the party Jon passed out. He entertained everyone while he was awake. We ate a ton of barbecue food and the party was a huge success. I wish there would have been more girls though. The next day we shredded on tennis courts. I dont know about everyone else but I couldnt shred. I woke up drunk and the only thing that saved me was that basket of fried chicken! The shred later that night was fun. We decided to go shred at the indoor spot again. After my hangover wore off I could shred again. We watched Sin City that night and I showed the Virginia guys what West coast coaching is all about. Jon passed out early again. But I had one of the best times of my life. Thanks for flying me out. Thanks Brad for driving me around. Thanks Jon for throwing a sick jam and giving me a place to stay. Thanks to all the shredders that came out.

Hope to see you guys next year!

Where the hell was Bob?

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 24 Aug 2005 14:09

Well, according to Bob, he picked up Penske with his girlfriend driving. So he was late the first day because of his ride, and then gone sunday, because he is whipped, I mean, because he didn't have a car and his girlfriend had to go back to school. Something along those lines

So far I'm about 1/4 done editing, but the bad news is I lost one tape... So I'm havin a hard time gettin the footage together cause I know there is some sweet footage roaming around on a tape.
