-suderman and someone else pouring beer off the balconey mostly into my mouth, then apologizing for missing some even tho i told him to do it
-lost my shorts the first day. cut my bathing suit daisy duke style so i could shred in them the rest of the week, found my shorts 5 min before leaving
-waylon, while eating a bunch of cherries: "this is good....usually im allergic to cherries"
-called matt churney "chutney" at least 18 times
-noon event site gym drinking while playing 2 square
-real talk with my dude Toolan all week long. i relate to him, which says something
-card throwing:
...beat felix 3-1 on a best of 5 throws
...hit andrew in the head hardcore, prob left a mark, for that i am genuinely sorry, was aiming for drew
...threw about 600 in a row with James, one of my new fave canadians, while we talked about life and perception until 8 AM, last 2 ppl awake friday night
- Felix's show, in spite of almost falling on ppl, and apparently "heckling" tho i was actually encouaging
- hangin with gatesman the last night for awhile
- fave new ppl:
....James (we surprised each other by being reasonable human beings, and then connected in drunk philosophy and the art of card throwing) Anton (Great dude, mad funny, gettin good at footy to for what its worth, fed me and james crepes at like 630 AM saturday), Cassy (friendly, chill, skilled young face of the sport), Camille (SO friendly, very funny, chased me down the hallway to say bye, which was really nice), Greenwood (great footy style which i knew already, hit some amazing strings thursday i think, well dressed, friendly, proper canadian speaking), Caro (OH my gosh she was HILARIOUS. the things she said reminded me a lot of back home. and she took it on herself to cook for a bunch of us sat morning at least. very warm, maternal, sweet, but GREAT sense of humor and of course accent), Ivan...i dunno like everybody, i'll list more deets later but those were the ppl that made a big impression
- last thing real quick- kemmer impressed me with how....well calm and patient he was in the face of a VERY unfortunately timed ankle roll. he's got a good head on his shoulders and will do well in life.
big thanks to the organizers, judges, competitors, ppl that i hung out with, the ppl i stayed with friday night, toolan for bein my dude, caro, anton and jonny for feeding me, and of course steve goldbricker for singlehandedly funding the sport
still got some time left to finish the job....if it brought the rest of me along with it, it might just be worth your while....
