Had a really fun day today. A 2-3 hour session with FAT (Cassy, Alex, Jorden, Camille, and Adam surprise appearance). Played pretty poorly with crappy runs, but still had a lot of fun, and it felt like a good session all around if just for the fact that we had enough for 2 circles for most of the time. Jorden seemed pretty on for not having played in 6 months. He said that he only "forgot 2 sets," I guess meaning that otherwise he was pretty satisfied with his level of play. Typical Jorden fare -- always mixed up. Adam is only getting better and better -- he makes hack look EASY. He floats around the bag and triple dexes like nothing. Consistently long runs too, and very dense. Alex was playing pretty well -- one run with stepping BSOS (flip may have even been mid-run?). I didn't play with Cassy much, and I'm not too familiar with Camille's game to gauge anything.
The one downside of FAT sessions is that often people just go their separate ways immediately after. Probably the main reason I was able to convince Jorden to come down was because I offered to play-test his board game prototype (and 'cause Cassy funded his trip by buying a set of juggling/footbag balls). But only Cassy and I hung around after to play and Cassy intended to leave shortly after a brief run-through. She ended up staying longer than I think she intended, but it was fun to play the game with her while Jorden watched our blind playthrough. Cassy prolly stayed for about an hour or maybe even more. But afterward I had a couple more playthroughs with Jorden and then we walked to my favourite board game cafe a km or so away where we played a few titles from his preferred game category (abstract strategy). I think I won every one. And also beat him both times at his own game
He seemed to really value our input, which is cool. And I look forward to hearing about its further development.
It was a nice 11-hour day spent with footbaggers
Oh yeah, some highlights of mine:
-blurrier > rev mullet BSOS (first try)
-rev reactor > stepping whip BSOS
-footed double spinning clipper > spinning whip BSOS (first try?)
-pretty close to spinning rev whirlwind a couple times
EDIT: Oh yeah, also started a run with flip rev hatchet with a little bit of an intention of BSOSing, but a few tricks later ended up hitting the rev tomahawk > rev hatchet drill midstring
I've maybe done it one or two times before and never midstring, especially with another flip rev hatchet in the same run
That was super cool and made me happy.
