I have dozens of pictures to post here or in other threads but I left my carmera in Jeremy Mirkorama's car and won't be able to post them till mid week some time.
I've been in the bay area since friday and have already had 4 sessions with some good friends. Tomorrow I am going to SF to jam and hang out with Ahren Gerhman but I will sadly not have my camera... Luckily we will be hanging out there again next weekend when Lon Smith comes to visit. I am one lucky mofo!
Friday Jeremy came to visit and we had a string-free-in-the-rain session. Jeremy has such a great vocabulary of big moves, mine is getting there. Mainly stylee variations on easy tricks. A few 5's and triples as well. I dont particuarly feel like thinking back to what was hit, but I'll list a combo or to in a few paragraphs. Emily Kulczyk (didn't even have to check spelling

) had a party that was canceled so she decided to come and visit too. I dropped off J at the airport(he was going to a bachlor party in Las Vegas) and Moxie and I picked up some margarita mix and whatched "the meaning of life". Anyone who has met moxie can skip over the next sentance because you already know this... Moxie is an amazing person and I'm greatful for any and all the time I get to spend with her.
So on saturday I went to Oakland and spent some time with tsankung. We drank one of his stellar beers and watched some TV. Then we went to Berklee and kicked some. Anyone who has every felt any discomfort while kicking click this link.

save up 80 bucks and invest!!!!!! You will make you money back in no time. With these lightweight, portalbe matts your bags last longer, shoes last longer, joints feel better, push harder into the ground... the advantages are endless!!!! I will be buying one as soon as I return to Oregon. It turns any surface into a choice shred spot, and people don't walk threw your circle..... I'm a believer.
After leaving Oakland I went out to sushi with the family and got STUFFED. Than Moxie came back to town and we traveled to steve G's manshion. Steve G is a great intelligent guy, no matter what anyone says. We played some 2 square, shredded a bit, hit the hot tub, and then sat down for some amazing conversations. I learned alot. Having an open mind is very important in this life. Steve, Emily and I had what I consider "drunk college talk", except they weren't drinkning. I was. I needed to, and that is something I will have to deal with eventualy. But not yet.
The next morning was very nice. Check that... The mext morning was awsome!!! around 11 em and I went and picked up J from the airport, then headed back to steve's, I made some eggs and we hit up the hot tub again. then the SHRED WAS ON!!!
Emily has gotten much better since last I kicked with her. I was incredibly impressed with her advancment in vocabular and controle. Jeremy was busting big, I went over 50 a couple times and maybe 30 genuine once. J hit furry>atomic drifter!!!! I hit mobius>ripwalk, which made me happy as i'm not a shuffler. I also was able to show off my "new school old school moves" like drifter rake, blur inside, mid run wraps, spinning outsides ect... Steve said I play with style which realy made me happy.
After that the 4 of us just lounged and had a general good time. Pillow fights, group photos, ranting... all the good stuff, well almost all the good stuff

.
We left and got some food and now I am home typing up this. I feel realy lucky to have so many bay area friends, but I feel kind of bad I am spending so little time with my mom. i owe so much to her. Hopefuly Ill spend some quality time with her soon.
Thank you for reading... pictures soon!!
