i think those are chris dean's climas now matt.

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 22 Feb 2006 16:19

Yea they are chris dean's. i traded them for a pair of Goonits. they were actually size 10 clima's. i couldn't play in them because every time i did i would get horrible foot cramps. i think if they were 10.5 or 11 i would have liked them so much more.

but yea, What time should we show up for the jam? it should only take use around 2 hours to get there

i love not driving long ass distances to jams haha

i cant wait to fucking play

yeah, the beach house is nice... and, my parents bought it with a loan, and rent it such that the rentals of 1 season pay for the loan for the whole year!

free house!

I have stitched 3 32 panel footbags. damn, they are TERRIBLE

but I like them. I can't wait to make good ones. I don't quite do the blind stitch right. I hope josiah can show me properly at the beach house. I can bring 2 of them with me, as I kicked the first (and best) one into a heating vent 5 minutes after I finished making it. I was riding high on super footbag pride! and talk about a DOWNER!!! but that's okay, the maintenance staff will get it back for me eventually.

I played today, mostly with downtime concepts and long strings, I was feeling strong and with good rhythm. I played with 2 guys who really want to learn to freestyle. One has already ordered a bag from jacob raye and a pair of lavers and he's coming to the beach house with me this weekend! in fact, 2 people are coming to the beach house jams, so everyone make sure to be extra cool so they know how awesome footbag is. We will have a stitching session so josiah can help me.

I'm super excited for the beach house jams. if anyone has any good cassette tapes, footbag or no, and music, please bring it for jamming to. I will be bringing my guitar. If anyone else wants to bring a musical instrument, say so. Also, CD, I have a bass at my house in rome that we can grab if you want. I think we have a little amp for it.

Fred Shred Footbag is now an official club today, and the head of Spectrum, the campus entertainment board who is running Fred Fest (the big party week here at school) loved my presentation and I think I can get him to give me money to do a tournament this spring. fuck yeah!!! I have big plans, mofuckaz.... I'm gonna throw some awesome shit.

now I just need money to go to worlds...

shotgun on a bed.!!!!!

mc · Post by mc » 24 Feb 2006 14:54

just played pretty light. Ibuprofin helps. We modded Sean's lavers which came today, and he liked them, but they're not broken in yet, so not up to full performance. I've been doing longer strings of more basics stuff and mostly downtime, it's good, I feel like I'm getting a better feel for the footbag, and it's going a little easier on my knee. my hip got tight again today, unfortunately. I've got some good stretches for it, though, especially the one caleb prescribed, good advice... I did some gyro mirages at the end of the session, they were feeling a little better than before. Still a bit too huge, though.

I received another pair of climacools yesterday, so now I have 2 reserve pairs! fuckin sweet!

I'm super psyched for beach shred. See you guys at around 3 tomorrow. also, one of my people cancelled, so it looks like we all get a bed. nice!

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 24 Feb 2006 15:25

I'm so jealous. I wanna come play too! I'm stuck here in Kingston during reading week all alone and it's fucking lonely! Especially since my pneumonia's really clearing up now.

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 24 Feb 2006 18:07

oops, i didn't see your other post up there matt! i can definitley teach you how to do the blind stitch. i just finished a bag up today and you can't any of the blind stitch at all. i finally did it right. Thanks to Peng! ill bring my stuff so we can stitch some

mc · Post by mc » 25 Feb 2006 01:18

yeah, it would be sweet if you could make it, Peng. I'm sure it won't be the last time I hold this kind of thing, you're definitely invited in the future.
