Paul,

I am very happy to see that you are fired up about this. Perhaps we could meet on Saturday at Spot Coffee and sketch things out.

You can call me anytime.

Matt Cross,

Would it be possible for you to provide me with a photograph of you performing a PS Whirl. You do not need to even use a bag but footbag gear is essential. Paul and I have been playing around with GRASS 09 logos and have come to the agreement that having a picture of you doing a PS Whirl would be perfect. You are easily recognizable by the majority of the footbag community and I feel your image will be a nice tribute to what you have done for me, the RFA, and footbag.

Here is an example picture.

The higher the resolution the better, so no webcam shots please.

If you are not able to get this done by say next week or you do not have access to camera equipment let me know and I will make some arrangements for you.

Peace.

Attention all RFA members!

You are to be in Albany, NY at my crib on March 20th-22nd. We will Play Hard, Party Hard, and then probably pass out on my floor.

Any members that try to pass on the Will Digges and Matt Cross Jam. will be issued a personal beating from the both of us.

Hope to see you all there!

Peace and Love

This may only apply to a few of you, but a friend of mine and his band is playing this Saturday at Johnny's Irish Pub. Johnny's happens to be a short walk from my house so I am sure to be there.

Johnny's does not serve food so perhaps we could meet at Merchant's Grill which is right behind Johnny's.

Let me know if anyone is coming and whether you would like to meet for some food or not. Either way I will be at Johnny's around 8:45pm.

Peace.

I'll be there!

.....is what I would say if I weren't 6 hrs away and was 21 years old.

I'll raise my glass in honor of the RFA this weekend.

GRASS 2009 question.

Regarding this year's GRASS, should we call Red Bull or Dan Canavan?

Matt, any progress on getting a PS Whirl picture of yourself?

Peace.

mc · Post by mc » 18 Feb 2009 12:26

red bull!!

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 18 Feb 2009 12:54

Thanks Matt. I should be avalable to take your picture Sunday.

As for Red Bull, does anyone have a contact number for them?

Paul Agostinelli · Post by **Paul Agostinelli** » 20 Feb 2009 13:42

my vote is red bull for sure, i dont have the contact number anymore, though im sure it wouldnt be too hard to acquire.

this sunday sounds awesome, i havent played in about a month so this will be interesting. ill definitely bring my camera along.

see you guys sunday!

Unless anyone has a better suggestion, I'm going to be at the RIT NTID SDC at around 3 PM tomorrow if anyone wants to get some footage and hang out.

Hope to see my friends there. Also, mike, I'm going to check out that bar with you for a while after my gig. Should be seeing you around 10.

<3,
mc

if someone can pick me up from downtown and get me to RIT, I'd love to session tomorrow (3PMish?). I'm coming to rochester tonight to meet my parents on monday and get my car. I hope some folks want to kick kick kick!

mc · Post by mc » 08 Mar 2009 07:39

my train leaves at 4, looks like I can't do a session. my bad. Maybe next weekend?

cd · Post by cd » 08 Mar 2009 15:47

yeah next weekend for sure. i have the fever again and will be there shred, no doubt.

If you won't be there, then next Saturday in Albany is likely.

Had a nice 2-hour session with Paul, shook hella rust off. Spring will be very good.

This is not really footbag related, but it's really inspirational and takes place in Rochester, so I thought I'd post it here.

also, I still love that intro video. that bass riff in that song is off the hook. NICE job, mike. Any luck on the grass logo?

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 24 Mar 2009 15:14
