Hey guys I forgot to mention I couldnt make it up there on sunday, and my phone was dead during the day. Having a cold and finishing up at school prevented me from leaving town for the day.

Haven't played in a few days until monday evening. Felt okay, hit some stuff. Nothing special except some good blender stuff and okay strings.

I updated the New Year thread in the Journies to Tournies section. The main news is that I found floor space for everyone and we have bag donations and such. George Clinton will be performing at the party.

I am waiting for Katie from Red Bull to call me back but I lost my phone.

I could use some help getting more freestylers to attend. I am too busy this week and it's almost too late to be getting the word out. Please think of people/scenes/clubs who might not be aware we're doing something and let them know. Also an event page should be made on footbag.org.

See you guys on sunday

Chris,

I will create the event page on footbag.org later today.

Also, does anyone have a t-shirt design. I will try and post a few of my own designs today. I would like to get the order out this week.

Peace.

Hey guys, I won't be at the session tomorow. I have about 36 hours to finish work here at school before im done forever. I think I am getting a car soon so I will be able to be more flexible with the sessions.

Also, I think I'm going to chicago from the 28th-29th. I made a little easy cash (prostitution) and I can't think of a better way to spend it. If anyone else wants to make the trip, I found tickets for $186.

can't wait for the geneseo jam. it's gonna be twice as big as the first one.

Hey guys. I'm going to be in the Buffalo area from the 26th to the 31st and was wondering if anybody wanted to meet up and shred a bit. I'm not to great in all honesty, but if anybody does want to meet up let me know. I'm not 100% positive what my schedule will be like, and I will also have limited transportation. Just let me know if you're interested and we can try to work something out.

-Alan

Alan,

I do not believe anyone will be available during that weekend as we will be having our annual New Year's event.

Perhaps next year we can meet up and shred - that sounds so long away.

Peace.

Ah, no worries Mike. I managed to acquire a ride and will be seeing you all tomorrow for the YEAH jam.

Aric and Paul need to pick up their phones so we can shred.

I have a car now. Bad gas mileage, but sessions at RIT could become more common.

Instead of going out there today I just went to kristin's and played in the study. Still playing like junk since the summer, no string length, but I got a few good things nonetheless.
mobius>pdx whirl bsos
fairy butter>matador>blur>atomsmasher>pixie pickup repeat first try.

does anyone want to have a session during the week? my 23rd birthday is on thursday, i think im going to be in henrietta then anyway so maybe that would work. let me know.

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 08 Jan 2007 06:49

I am available Thursday for some shred. Chris, what are you doing for your birthday? Are friends invited? Are we friends?

YEAH 2006 video is up!

Enjoy.

Awesome session today. Only Mike Paul and myself this time, but still very fun... one of the most productive days I've had in awhile. I think my best was only 5 fearless though, although my goal was 10 by 2007. Meh, I still hit fairy flapper>pdx mirage rpt.

Sunday should happen at least four days a week. And the others should come out too!

Following the next RFA Sunday Session, Jan 21, 2 PM at RIT, I invite everyone over to my house at 26 Vermont Street in Rochester for dinner. Use http://maps.google.com/ to find it.

I could give you a list of the foods I am able to prepare but that list would be too long for a single post. The best way to go about this would be for you guys to post what you do NOT want or do NOT enjoy. If you are vegetarian or not able to eat certain foods for religious or allergic reasons, please let me know and I will consider you when preparing dinner. As for the cost to you, a five dollar donation is enough to support an 8oz steak dinner with spaghetti and one or two sides of vegetable. The more people that get involved, the more I can shop in bulk and the more money we can save.

I am considering making this a routine part of our Sunday sessions. I truly enjoy everyone's company inside and outside the shred circle. Also, as stated in the YEAH 2006 video, I really enjoy cooking. And finally, it feels good to have company at my house.

Oh, one more thing, I have pets - several pets. More precisely, I have two dogs, four cats, and two ferrets. If you have pet allergies I highly recommend you take some Robitussin - or whatever expectorant you prefer - before you come over. My pets will greet you and love you animately but I can call them off if you so desire.

See you Sunday.

Peace.

Definitely Josh. Bring out the shred.

I just got that in the mail today and it is spectacular! If any of you haven't seen it, you're in for a surprise.

Hope everyone's doing well.

Updated the style of the site. Let me know what you guys think. I apologize for having such little content on the RFA site. I could use any and all suggestions you guys might have to liven the site up a bit. I would like to make the site very professional and functional so that we can refer to it when promoting footbag to people and organizations in Rochester and the surrounding areas.

Peace.
