Hey Everyone,
What a crazy weekend, first gotta say congrats on an amazing tourney to Adrienne. I am so glad I went.
A short write up,
Met up with WayWay at noon on friday, stood out in the cold with him for an hour or so waiting for Ted and Edna, which I decided to combine their names to make it Tedna. Its so much easier to say. 2 sylables instead of 4. Thanks for the ride Tedna! You guys are the best.
moving along,
After meeting up with them, we had a 4ish hour ride down to Maryland. Mostly listened to my Ipod but had an deep conversation about, if a monster ate our car (doesn't chew) would we be able to survive? (Discuss)
We came to the conclusion that as long as it wasn't a kimono dragon monster we would be alright...
we got down to Age's place and had some dinner and she took us to this discount store they have. Me and Age tried on some funky sunglasses (im gonna put the picture up tonight) and then i found the greatest, $3 hat since my epic $2 MTV hat of last summer. It says,
Everybody Loves a HOHO.
Now besides being one of the coolest hats ever, it has an extra special meaning to me because my best friend from home, his last name is Horan. And we called him HOHO, so I'm gonna give it to him next time I see him. Age really liked the hat too, and ended up wearing it the whole weekend, including during her routine I believe, which she did awesome! congrats to her.
After shopping we headed over to some club to see Vince Bradley's band play. We had a navegation system and somehow we still got lost. Dont worry Age, my sister does the same thing.
We finally got there after driving in circles, and there were only 2 songs left in the set
. They were really good though, wish we got there earlier.
I was pretty psyched to see everyone there it was like a big family reunion. We took off and headed to Ken's place to go "drink", haha we got there and there were 6 beers in the fridge and no where to buy any more. Damn DC. Ken made sure I got a Sam Adam's though, my fav, thanks Ken!
Met Kens girlfriend who was super cool, she made us Guacamole and chips! Well she didnt make the chips, that would have been impressive. The guac was awesome and really hit the spot. After that a bunch of people went to the bar, unfortunately im poor and couldnt go. But I chilled with Bruce, Ken and his GF and Played Wii Bowling on a giant TV, really reminded me of the summer at Bruce's place.
People got back from the bar and played Super Smash Brothers for a while, and then everyone passed out.
DAY 2
We woke up in the morning and myself and Drew Krause decided we wanted to go find some girls, there had to be some right? Wrong! all we found is some big old guy, knocked on like every door in the building "looking for breakfast" and all we found was the RA. Should have asked him where his daughter was.
We went downstairs and tried to find a continental breakfast, but still no luck. No girls, no continental breakfast, what kind of Dorm is this. Ken took us over to this coffee shop that had some really good food. Then we headed over to the site.
It was a huge gym, and so many people were there. I was really glad that Clavens showed up, he always inspires me. Wish I would have joined a circle with him, but I'm pretty shy when I play. Just kinda stuck with the NYFA crew, or played by myself, I tend to do that at tourneys.
They convinced me to join the int. circle comp, I was hesitant, but I did it. It wasn't so bad, Drew 2 (Krause) gave me this talk about just having fun with it and using it as a learning experience and i think that helped.
Watching everyone else was great. Ken did really well, very happy for him. He took 1st in routine! Only 1 drop! When the drop happened I remember me and bruce just looked at each other and almost fell over. Sooooo close! I know how bad Ken wants that dropless routine, I know he'll get it soon. I'd love for him to have his first dropless at this summers NYFA Jam. It'll be his 11th anniversary, in the place he started! Looking forward to it.
After all that we had a bad ass game of Basketball, with Ken, Drew Martin, Drew Krause, Ian, and Jake. Ian is a maniac on defense, just want to say that, haha. He runs around flailing his arms making noises, I really hope someone got that on tape. It was awesome, hope we get to do it again.
After the game we went back to Age's apt where everyone was already getting their drink on. I promised Age that she could spike my mohawk (yea its kinda small but ill grow it out a little), just kinda decided on day that I wanted one and I did it. Doesnt look too bad.
We played this terrible mortal combat game, nothing like the old sega version, but... it had a chess game on it, which inspired everyone to play chess, so vince b ran home a got a few boards. Ended up playing a few hours with Clavens, Vince B, Ian B and Ken. Don't think I actually played a game with Ken, hes pretty good, wish I had. Somewhere in there Age spiked my hair up with gel.
Then we played some poker, which started out pretty fun, and Im not going to go into the rest of the night.
DAY 3
Thanked, Age and Ken for everything. Rolled home with Drew M, Bruce D, and John S.
Really fun most of the weekend, I'm sure theres stuff I'm missing but when I remember Ill post it.
Cheers,
B
. Hopefully next weekend Ill get a good session in.
Maybe I will... its entertaining.
