NOOOOO! I'm going to buy the bag you made for Chris because *cough *cough.. he's not using it anymore and I was going to hack it with you! Then I'll have TWO MOSHER BAGS! Aw well.

Daaang John you are pretty l33t at this whole footbag thing. I stand in awe. :arrow: 8O And Greg - not sure if we've met. . but we will. And you seem to twist fairies well with the bag. That's always awesome. Maybe you could give me a few tips on my flip :P . I'm soo looking forward to this session. I'm not positive I'd be able to make a 7 showing but I can try my best. John's got my number if information has to be sent out when I'm away from the computer and modified.

sounds good, man. sorry you couldn't make it this weekend. next weekend it is! i also owe people in toronto a visit sometime soon, so we can definitely have a session out there sometime soon.

darkshredder, we haven't met but will soon! it will be dope to have new energy in the circle. my fairies are pretty bad still actually, hehe, a new component for me.

i was just guessing about the 7pm time, i'm very flexible if another time works better for ppl. at the same time i'll stick to the 7pm schedule if nobody else has suggestions. i'll try to contact johnnyboy since he seems to have the hook up on direct contact with folks.

ah no worries, man. I've been to the biosci building for a shred before. Looong time ago. The guy who I'm visiting has an apartment which is literally 5 minutes away.

I vote for some time earlier in the afternoon. Like say 2 or 3. Only because I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be going to a rock star themed kegger that night. . . :roll: and I don't want to be left behind. Kind of. Well, I don't want to miss the chance to see my friend from high school dress like an ass and drink large amounts of cheap beer. I'll go dressed as a footbag player and drink rockstar energy drinks. Or something.
Foooootbag, YAHHHHH.

OK, just talked to Greg. 2pm biosci is GREAT!

I will see you there at 2. If it is closed don't panic, just wait in front of the building (on Arch St.).

Cool

Ugh. I won't be able to hack with you guys again today. I'm actually just waking up and we're being taken out to breakfast and then my buddy needs to get back to the states ASAP. So do I, but I'd much rather blow off responsibility to play with you guys.

I'll be back. :twisted:

pat, was awesome to meet & shred with you! too bad we only got 1 session in, but it was solid.

so after watching a few strings of myself on derrick's cam i've decided my style is like unto poo, and needs some serious restructuring to hit things cleanly. or more accurately, to link things cleanly.

i quit smoking pot & began more cross training. today's session was short, but i was much more clear headed and able to pace myself properly. we'll see where this goes in the coming days.

oh yea, zulu paradox whirl!

Greg, I'm really glad you never told me you smoked b4. Or else Derrik, you, and I would be total bongbrains, together. Don't be too shocked at your style though Greg. I know that I'm terrified of what my style looks like on camera compared to how I view my self. Look at it as a gentle reminder because, dude, I dig your style.

SHOES AHHHH. I need new shoes Greg. PLEASE order some ASAP. I'm choosing the "hunter green/white" in a size 9. PLEASE!!! I got high off of drugs the other day and got all paranoid about how my shoes are ruining my future with footbag. The toe box is weird and might be forcing me to play with a weird style or something. I pray that I will still have a good toe game when I switch back to Units.

hmmmm.......mangostien
