I miss Toronto too.
I dunno if I've told you before that my brother lives there. He's here right now for Thanksgiving and I mentioned the lack-of-hackers plight and he said he might be down for some occasional sessions. He's strong tiltless with a bunch of 3s and 4s (but hasn't really played in years).

Oooh - tell him to post here if he's ever down to play (this blog needs someone else to post at least once in a while...)

I had a crappy session today...didn't really hit anything...it only last like...30 minutes, I just wasn't feeling it.

Anyway, I have a talent show today, so, I hope I got all my shittiness out of my system in time for the event.

Good luck on your talent show, Alex! Hope van is treating you well. See you at xmas, potentially?
Keep practicing!
Do it!
Seriously!
You were getting too good for the training to fall off now...

Another session tonight, just a "get the rust off" session - its been a week since I've played. Nothing really special...the usual... but it felt really good after....

Had a session yesterday with Caro and this other guy that wants to learn to play. It was alright, not much special, but I'm really excited to potentially go to Seattle for a jam

Hey friends.

Working on europe footage/hackrifice DVD. That is, whenever I'm not at work or in school or doing homework or studying.

Sorry I haven't been stopping by so often, I miss you all.

lol - at this point this blog is only me, so, no need to pluralize the posts...haha

I lost my favorite bag!!

I'm mad...bah...anyway, I played today, got the rust off, but it was really hard with a not broken in bag. I think I'm going to have to break it in asap so I can play more...I'm not playing enough

its pretty poopy....

Its been a while since I've poster here - my computer broke and I have 4 papers due in a week. Ever try to write 4 papers without a computer? its annoying as fuck. Seriosly. I haven't much footbag time, but I have been able to drill some basics and flail + eggbeater + pixie and the likes. Well - other than that, I have so much work this weekend + 2 bottles of Old English are on my window sill just waiting to be emptied, so I must attend to that instead of going to Seattle.

New year now - and I intend to keep playing a lot...I found a new shred space - my floor laundry room - its rather exciting...and I don't even need to go outside or even take the stairs to get there....verrry convenient when its raining outside.

Anyway, I played some, hit some nice strings, played for a little under an hour - just to get the rust off and such - I need to play more to bring up my endurance...

Other than that, I'm stoked to play footbag...

In my laundry room...

lol hey I just discovered that not long ago, I now start playing in the laundry room that in my apartment. Where do you guys usually shred at? near UBC?

SnowBlindSloth · Post by **SnowBlindSloth** » 25 Jan 2009 12:53

Caro + Kevin + Jeff live closer to Main, but I shred at UBC - wanna play?

Good taste, i also listen to anime song, and some catchy theme when playing

I think I pulled a butt muscle...or atleast hurt it...

SnowBlindSloth · Post by **SnowBlindSloth** » 06 Feb 2009 18:09

Solo session - lasted about an hour - hit mainly more of the same things, except notably, 21 infinities - so, a new record. PS mirage/flail/ducking consistency going up... I wanna learn to drifter - but its just not working....so thats an issue... other than that - tis good.

Last night I danced for 3 hours in barefeet on carpet - I have huge blisters on my feet - needless to say, I won't be shredding for atleast a week
