sounds straight. or, if we have time tomorrow, we could just play then. who's playing tomorrow?? if we can manage to meet up with dank, it will be him, i knoiw kevin expressed interest in playing tomorrow, im definitely down to play, how bout you chris??
Wow, theres been lil action in the Boston blog while I was gone. I was kinda expecting to see a whole new page already started...
So I finally got home at 1130 and in less than 10 hours i'm back on the road. Kinda bittersweet. Whatever, cant wait to kick with some of you dudes tommorow.
yeah, not gonna lie BSC has kind of been in a lull for like the past week. hopefully that will all turn around real soon though. im gonna call you at like 12:00ish doug just to see whats up.
i just wrote up a retelling of a story that happened earlier. its a pretty good read, decently funny, and completely true. read it if you're bored.
So while biking down the street to pick up a pizza I ordered I see this homeless guy named Marty sitting in the middle of a crosswalk literally in the dead center of a busy street bleeding fairly profusely from his elbow and knee, blood running down both of them onto his hand and sock, respectively. Ironically I had to call and ambulance for this guy once before in like 11th grade when I found him laying in my back yard, head split open, blood all around him passed out drunk. He was in considerably better condition this time, but still was just chillin in the middle of the street. Needless to say, Marty isn’t an alcoholic by normal standards. I’d have to say he’s an alcoholic by alcoholic standards.
Of course it’s also about 95 degrees out in the blazing sun, and he’s just sprawled out on the hot tar of the street yelling nonsensically with most people that walked by too intimidated to even stop and stare. so as I’m biking by him he's like: "heeeyvsmfm heelp me up maaayn" and so I’m like: “aight dude.â€

sweet shred with rev kev downtown. some random black dude that biked up wearing a dress shirt stopped and watched us for like an hour, making completely nonsensical comments like "yeah-uh! james brown used to do the same thing! he got skills! skills! the temptations the platters, they all did it! uptown!" and dancing and shit. it was hilarious. literally for like an hour.
i hit some nice long strings. tap>atom>rpt>string, and inside set DSO
i'll let kevin post what he hit, but rest assured he's making some real impressive progress!
ha it seems like everytime me and him kick something random happens. last time it was finding a random bird egg, this time it was definitely the random black dude.
hopefully gonna meet up with dank tomorrow after work because he'll actually be in town for orientation, and not in lexington at a hotel if i dont meet up with him to kick tomorrow or the next day maybe i'll get a ride out to lexington or whatever, but i'd definitely prefer to just have a small shred somewhere near northeastern after work. anyway.
well im trying to kick with dank at northeastern today. he's there for orientation. gonna be sometime after 5. it would be good if you were there too chris, give him a proper BSC welcome. dunno if you're working or not kev. ha or still tired from yesterday im gonna call dank in a couple hours to find out exactly when after 5 he'll be free, then probably text you (chris and/or kevin) and let you know.
cant wait to check out that 32! im working on a bomb ass one finally! its all blue with orange spikes. $$
yeah true. still, fuck it, i'll think of a spot we can play either inside or underneath some overhang. its straight if you dont feel like coming out but i feel like kicking, since the sesh yesterday went damned good.
well dank can PROBABLY kick at 7:00. he's got something then that he's considering skipping i guess. he's gonna get back to me on it and i'll discuss the rain/inside/outside situation with him then.
first session with dank. so sick. mad props to dank, he's already really good and you can tell he's going to get much much better because everything he can hit he hits with good solid form. mad hot blond chicks kept walking by. one of them clapped for me at the end of a nice string. i hit some nice strings. i had a mad good burger before playing and drank a liter of dew while we kicked. some random kid walked up and was kicking with us. he's also going into his freshman year and was eager to kick with us anytime we did, and get this: HE ALREADY HAS LAVERS, by coincidence. ha he said he didnt know they were that good for hacking. heh heh. so thats a definite new member.
i cant WAIT to get everyone from BSC together, which will happen in the next few weeks. its gonna be so huge we're going to need two circles
i certainly wasnt picturing this when i was kicking solo learning clipper 3 years ago
Wish I could have been there...Can't wait till the 30th...when I move back up there
Maryland was fun. I didn't really have time to find kickers there because i was visiting one of my roommates for next year. Filled up the time by going to the virgin music festival...saw a shit load of bands
*skip this its just bragging*
Bands I saw :Fountains of Wayne, Fiction Plane, Shout out out out out, The Fratellis, Booka Shde, Felix Da House Cat, Incubus, Peter Bjorn and John, Danny Tengalla, The Beastie Boys, The Police, Modest mouse, Matisyahu, Explosions in the Sky, Panic! At the Disco, Infected Mushroom (Matisyahu jumped on stage and started beat boxing...insane), WU-TANG clan, yeah yeah yeahs, Interpol, The Crystal Method, Velvet Revolver, Smashing Pumpkins, 311 and some other small bands like DJs Yellow Fever, Motormorons, Flights of Fire, and DJ Neville C...more or less
*skip part is done*
One guy saw me kicking and was like you should go to nationals cuz they're in florida this year....
im like....worlds?..can't go gotta pay for school
He went on to explain that his girlfriend was getting him into kicking
apparently shes going to worlds
...the guy wouldn't kick with me tho...it was weird...his exact quote was
"I'd love to but I'm not at the kicking level yet"....um WTf? does that mean? Doubt he stitches...is he a pro watcher?
A pretty cute chick asked to take a video of me playing..that was chill....
I gotta say I love joining hack circles...just come in like anybody else...oh can i play? thanks...kick it a few times pass....get it the next time...throw in a clipper>pass>they drop cuz they weren't expecting it...then they start stalling by just copying the motion; Yay, everyone gets better!
then they start asking questions like where your from and then act like your lying when you tell them theres a big scene in Maryland and that I have friends that are a lot better than me
Hit up a couple rest stops on the way down and back. On the way back I was kicking on the corner of the side walk...well out of the way of people's paths and some old bitchy lady comes by, like walks directly where I am standing and then goes WATCH IT, makes me drop the bag and then almost hits me with her shoulder.
I'm back in RI now, talked to pete on the phone...said you guys had a wicked nice sesh; again wish i was there.
Crazy about the kid thats like...oh...you mean Rod Lavers...I have a black pair hahhahahaha
haha yeah, gotta love how fast people pick it up when they have some one better around.....haha can't say I miss the solo system I used of
watching a video> trying the move over and over>watching video trying over and over >rpt
Dank, what dorm are you in next year, also do you have a facebook?
Kinda bittersweet. Whatever, cant wait to kick with some of you dudes tommorow.
inside set DSO
if i dont meet up with him to kick tomorrow or the next day maybe i'll get a ride out to lexington or whatever, but i'd definitely prefer to just have a small shred somewhere near northeastern after work. anyway.
