If I sent you some DV tapes with raw shred footage of me, could you make a sick shred video of me? Or would you not have time? I like your editing style.

I'm going to be in a local charity event called "No Sweat 2007". It's a fashion/variety show raising money for a children art's charity with acts like skipping, beatboxing, breakdancing, poi, martial arts, japanese drumming ect ,ect. I'll be doing a footbag routine with a dude beatboxing "harder better faster stronger" on stage with me. Here's a link to the website:

In this unnamed place with the opened flower of impulse
a quiet beginning is told
the goals of your youth seek after a definite heat
it'll release a signal into this sky

with the repeating days to my back
i'm looking for the moment to spread my wings
even if it is a lonely hope

I want to go to an unknown world, passing all my limits
with this dream pouring out of my entire body
Like a brilliant morning sun that lights a new world
carry the feelings born from a brilliant light in your chest

I want to go to an unknown world, passing all my limits
with this dream pouring out of my entire body
Like a brilliant morning sun that lights a new world
I want to see the future born from the glittering lights.

Top notch exposure. I thought it was great that they mentioned where you guys play. I hope somebody finds you through this.

Oh and Rory, just wanted to thank you again for agreeing to make a vid of me. I'm real excited about this. I shot a session today with a bunch of good stuff. I plan on getting one more shred on tape, and then I will send you 2 tapes, which should be enough material for a good video.

I performed a short routine this morning on live television to promote a charity event called "no sweat 2007". I sharpied out the checkmark in my nike shorts because the event is anti sweatshop. A local beatboxer, Mic Ortiz, beatboxed "harder better faster stronger" and I freestyled to it.

I had one drop near the end of the routine, but I'm not very happy with how I played (sloppy). It feels like I'm always warmed down when it's time to perform. I also felt self conscious about sweating (my normal warmed up state for footbag) because of the name of the event.

In other news, I'm wearing makeup right now and I feel very pretty.

No Sweat 2007...? More like.. No Drops 2007!

I performed my first dropless routine in front of an audience! I might post a digicam version of the routine tommorow.

dropless, good job! Have you done it dropless many times while practicing?

I've done many dropless routines practicing before, but only one wasn't air hack.

Speaking of air hack:

kick > kick > kick > trampoline > spin > knee bump > ducking legover > kick > kick > pass
