I am really stoked to see what your bags look like now.

It's amazing what kind of changes can take place between one or two bags, let alone like.. 30 or whatever it's been since the last Ive seen of you!

Thanks for making a prize bag!

Matt, just posting here to receive emails when people post here.

Also, that move I told you about the other night, here it is...

http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/-10018

I also posted this in the Rochester footblog for the others to see.

I can't wait to get another Matt Cross bag and shred it up, and possibly make another "Matt Cross!" video.

Enjoy.

SWEET move, mike!! I want to see variations now!! sets into, downtime components before... KICKASS is going to be sweet, hopefully I'll get my chance then

speaking of KICKASS, I've stitched the prize bag (#44) and one for sale (#45) since then. All the bags I stitch until KICKASS will be for sale there, then afterwards, I'll stitch Mike's footbag, the Cornell Juggling Fest prize bag, and then Cornell bags to sell. Selling in person is so much more fun than selling online. I've even put my brand new bags in little plastic sacks so they're perfectly clean and nice for KICKASS. #45 is easily my best footbag yet. I know I say that after every bag (almost), but I really am trying to get my consistency better and better so I can make wonderful bags.

Panels for #46 are cut... come to KICKASS if you want a sweet bag

I want my bags to be in little plastic sacks too!

I want to buy an MC bag so that I can get a hot bag, and help Matt Cross with some funds. KICKASS will be SWEET!

Yeah, it keeps them cleaner. You'll have your chance, Waylon. I wish I could afford to do you one back for Gay Cow, but now's just not the time. I wish I had cool little drug zippies like Johnny uses. Right now I have big drug sandwich bags.

I just completed #46. I started it last night. I plan on stitching like a complete mad person until KICKASS. I want to get a pile of money. I just got a speeding ticket the other day, I was recently robbed of $200, and I NEED MONEY!!! basically, bag sales are what will allow me to afford this tournament. #46 is sweet. I've been playing with some interesting pattern variations, and I'm psyched for people to see them. Can't wait...

time to start #47.

Awesome move mike! im likin' the scruff haha.

I can't wait to see your bags Matt! i should start stitching some more. i stitched a bag a couple weeks ago and i don't like it nearly as much as my earlier bags. i need to start messing with my templates and filler some. hopefully we could trade in the future. See next weekend buddy

finished bag #47 tonight. I look forward to having a huge pile of them for sale at KICKASS. I have all of tomorrow of except for a gig from 6 to 8. I will definitely stitch at least one footbag, maybe 1.33 or even 2 if I'm feeling very strong.

I played a fun gig tonight. I opened for one of my favorite bands to see live of all time. The Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad played at Ellicottville Brewing Company tonight. I opened the show and also played a short set during their intermission. The first set was all original, and the second set was the song Crazy, by Gnarls Barkley, then Hey Ya, by Outkast, then then Badfish, and What I Got, both by sublime, into The Botanist, by me. I had a fun, and both the girls I like danced during my set. I guess you can't ask for more (considering I got free drinks all night, too).

Life is good. i can't wait to see you all at KICKASS, where I'll hopefully hit a few fun tricks, sell a pile of bags, and party until my face falls off.

See you there. Stoke-o-meter on 11...

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 23 Sep 2006 14:40

ill make sure you and i both party till our faces fall off

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 24 Sep 2006 14:37

If you or Josiah ever see me slump over sleeping from too much partying, be sure to wake me up so that we can party some more!

mc · Post by mc » 24 Sep 2006 18:51

hahaha, AINT NO PARTY LIKE A FOOTBAG PARTY!!!! I can't fucking wait. bag #48 needs 4 more pents, then it's done. I hope to have past #50 available for sale.

See you guys this weekend!!

Hey Matt,

I just wanted to know how much $$$ to set aside for an MC bag at KICKASS. I will be getting one for sure.

mc · Post by mc » 24 Sep 2006 19:56

$35 CAN.

sweet!

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 24 Sep 2006 20:16

hey matt, since your back stitching,

me and holly would like to trade.

no rush, but if youre interested, weve both got bags ready for trade.

mc · Post by mc » 24 Sep 2006 22:10

Bag #48 complete. That means I have 4 to sell :/ I need more!! this week is going to be a stitch-o-rama. I may even do one at the tournament, if I burn out or injure myself or leave my shoes behind again (I hope I didn't just jinx myself). Bed time... KICKASS soon!! maybe I could play a little bit before then... I haven't had any hard sessions in the past few days...

mc · Post by mc » 25 Sep 2006 11:43

had a weak session today :/ but did manage to hit a few decent shreds, and rev swirling far toe BSOS. Came close to my first beastly link, but didn't try it for long. it will come soon. It's an easy one.

work soon. 2 pents done on 49. MUST HAVE MORE BAGS!!!!!!

mc · Post by mc » 26 Sep 2006 20:03

49 is slow going. I've had some other stuff going on. Hopefully, I will finish it tomorrow. I know I can. I'm super excited for kickass. Can't wait to see everyone there.

I love the new vasek video. he's the king.

mc · Post by mc » 27 Sep 2006 18:11

Finished #49 today, and I am now 1/3rd done with #50. #50 is the first pattern I've done that I've never seen at all. it's not even a variation on something I have seen. I've done those... but, I'm really proud of the idea, and really excited to see it done. I don't believe I've ever wanted a bag to be done so much. plus, it's a milestone footbag.

So, I'm just taking a break from it right now. My shoulder was hurting earlier as I was stitching, and now my hand is a little sore. I guess it's all about moderation. However, the week before a tournament is not exactly moderation time, as stitching goes...

see some of you in a few days. I'm really excited, I can't wait to party and shred with everyone. This tournament is going to be the best.

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 27 Sep 2006 18:54

I seriously can't wait to see you again, Matt Cross. Pick me up at the train station and we'll have a big bear hug, get a coffee, stitch, whatever! I'm going to be in the RFA's turf, and I'll be on my best behavior.
