Mosher's Footblog

I just watched Garden State with my friend Sandy. It's a really great movie. I heavily enjoy having a friend like sandy, her and I are able to hang out alot and not hate eachother, I think I hang out with her most in life. Also, when we watch movies we totally cuddle and it's all pletonic and nice. I love cuddling.

Speaking of sandy, I had a great idea tonight!

Jared from the militia will be living with me next year, that leaves one open space. I had a great idea that sandy should move in with us!

She is totally into it and it's going to be awesome. She has shown an interest in learning to play footbag that would be sick if she got into it. (as if I am not going to force her if she lives with us!)

Also she knows alot about grow-ops so we're totally hooked up.

I made another 32 today, I fucking love making these things, they come out looking so amazing.

I technically made it for Jared but it is so hard for me to let it go. It's so pretty and I made it!

I made it out of strong black panne for the hexes and some red faux suede stuff for the pents. It looks dashing! It came out really well and I know I did a good job stitching it, he's going to love it.

As much as it hurts to let it go I know I will replace it with another 32.

I guess I got really attatched to how awesome it felt to be juggling three 32's that I made. They look so great in my pile of 32's, they look totally real and stuff.

Today I took a dump, flushed and watched in horror as the water rose to nearly the top. I was relieved when it didn't spill any of my nasty piss n crap water on the floor. Unsure what to do next I flushed it again. As you can easily predict my toilet became a fountain of sorts spewing it's guts all over my floor. think about it, if it had a full bowlful already, and it tried to fill itself up again, that is a full load of gross on my floor.

So I panicked and grabbed the nearest towel and threw it down on the mess. Of course it hardly helped the situation and soon I heard my doorbell ringing. I ran over to the door and saw that it was the owner of the toy store I live above (who obviously was inquiring about her new ceiling leak) waiting out in the cold.

I went out and bought a plunger for a dollar and saved the day.

It's so wierd that my housemate who is so paranoid about certain cleanliness things doesn't seem to have registered that when standing in the bathroom now you are standing on dried up Tom discharge.

Man, this new 32 I made looks sick, I can't wait to shred it.

also

HOLY SHIT GLASS IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to shred with whoever will be there, I fucking love every part of footbag.

I am going to be making lots and lots of pins to sell.
They will be on sale for a dollar each and say things like:
FOOTBAG
I (heart) footbag
Play Footbag
a picture of a 32
a picture of a 32 with the word FOOTBAG

Give me requests and I can make it happen.

Also, I am about to plunge into a logo creating session with Adam Dexter, here I go!

you friggin' lived out my dream bag! That's what I've been planning to do but I can't find panne here anywhere....and for the fact taht its soo hard to part with a new bag is true. I can't sell any of mine yet......hehe

i wonder how Richard Abshire does this or maybe he's already immune to it

Tom,

Button slogan ideas:

BAP
BSP 4EVA
Guiltless
BOP
Gangsta Party
Superfly
Mullet

I also like the plain "Play Footbag" one, too. I'd get one of those.

first things first, i went shoping for some fabric places around my area, i found ligh seade thats black but its alittle thicker then whats used for my bag, i pinched it and u can feel that its a Tidd bit thicker, and i fliped my bag alittle inside out to exsamen the other side of the material in my felixs and its not like this stuff i bought. the other side of what i got is like another type of material, and is kinda ?gridy? i gess you could say. is this bc its black and thats what it comes like, or bc its probly just LIGHT seade and not utra light?

dont u hate it when that kinda stuff happends, really sucks when u got a few floters in the toilet, or worse the runs

dude for a dollar a peace i bet alot of my friends will all chip in money and get a good amount of pins, but what would shiping be? footbag pins is such a sweet idea. are they gonna be colar?

keep it up tom!!!

I can make them full colour, though I was thinking that just white on black would look slick.

Zach: for shipping I think the best idea is for you to just order a big amount, then the shipping will be far less relative to what you get.

I will use my paypal account to make pin buying easy.

OOH! Idea!

Based on what Stephen was suggesting, I could make tons of pins with different tricks and people can pick their favorites! Like.. mobius and torch-r-rack.

OOh! I'll make a BSOS pin!
Here's some more:
- Dropless
- Genuine
- Shredder

Uhhh.. why don't I do this, why don't I set up a whole ordering website and put up a million designs. You can pick them, place your order and we'll make em and ship them out.

Regarding GLASS, I chatted with Andrew Grant last night and unintentionally he got me thinking that the Hostel is really a bad idea.

We have found a proper hotel that offers the same rate. Let me explain the many reasons why this is a much better deal:
- you can totally get away with smoking weed in big hotels
- you can pack extra shredders in and no one will know (cut down on $$$)
- we can party way harder there as one loud unit
- there is probably room to shred in the hotel somewhere
- it's right on the subway line so that opens up our venue options greatly
- we have greater general anonymity in a big hotel, I was starting to feel guilty about bringing a bunch of stupid rowdy shredders to a hostel, we don't want to inconvenience others and piss off the nice hostel people. (pissing off the big hotel people is more ok somehow)

Man, I know this event is going to kick ass, it can't not!

mc · Post by mc » 23 Jan 2005 07:58

pissing off hotel people is definitely more okay than pissing off hostel people.

now, my question is, does the cost stay the same if everyone still plans on sleeping in a bed? or for the cost to remain the same, does that mean some people are on the floor?

I know that I, personally, can't take the floor any more. Too many bad nights on the floor have messed up my shred the next day.

Can't wait... I'm feeling a little better today, hopefully I'm on the mend...

Johhny said that the price was the price listed on their website, which I would take to understand that everyone gets a bed.

And then on top of that you can have some people willing to sleep on your floor and save some money. I will go look up the exact prices.

Eric from France made some cool pins last year.
- Can you kick it?
- a little stick man doing a clipper. the man looked like the red/green pedestrian crossing men

and my favorite:

- FUCK BAP

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 23 Jan 2005 09:41

What about....

-Flipside
-Fear(less)
-Blurry
-Paradox(this ones ILL!)

If you bring pins to GLASS i'll purely buy a couple!!

And maybe a 32 if you have the time(i'll pay well!)

tom, i really appologize for making this lodging choice harder then it needs to be. i'm going to just step back and not comment about it any more, because i'm obviously getting on your nerves. i'll stay out of your hair about it. again, i'm sorry.

No worries man.

And you got your way (you baby

), we're going with the hostel.

Camille and I are making leaps and bounds with the organizing. Expect a big GLASS update in the GLASS thread soon.

woah, your KFM pic in your avatar is sick!!!! did you make those up? haha, i love the footbag in the ninja throwing star! that's rad!

*takes the compliment*

Thanks Andrew!

But seriously, I have been working with Mosh on their site and for some GLASS stuff recently, and it is turning out wonderful.

Mosh, we have more in common then I once thought! I really appreciate the way Mosher pushes me to do more with my designs. I referenced a comparison between someone pushing you to hit a move and someone pushing you for a better design.

It was like this;

Mosh: Hey, can you put the great lakes behind and inside the word GLASS?

Dex: I dunno, let me try.

Mosh: That looks great! Can you make the words stretch the whole bottom of the image?

Dex: I dunno, let me try.

Mosh: Awesome, now put a 32 in the middle of the words!

Dex: Like this?

Mosh: Awesome!

Anyway, I think that we worked very well together on that one, and the KFM logo. I can't wait to work on your site together mosh. You have an awesome energy that really makes me want to do better, and your ideas are always top notch.

So wait, are we gonna be crashing in the hostel or the hotel. It seemed like it went from hostel to hotel but this post:

And you got your way (you baby ), we're going with the hostel.

Threw me off.

I would prefer a hotel, as being underaged (Even in CA...

) I would be able to party. But I'm flexible and am coming out to shred not to party (I could do that hear

) so I'm down for anything.

Tom,

Ya man, I loved sending back and forth revisions of the designs, I think the things we came up with are great!

I just have to send the psd file to the shirt printer guy and we are good to go.

I will upload a copy of the final GLASS logo, it's so bitchin.

I just had a solo drill session, I need to have at least one solo session every day before GLASS. I feel so obligated to improve so much before GLASS.

I haven't been playing that well still, it is frustrating. Some of my foundation tricks are just totally evading me. It took me like.. 15-20 tries to get pdx whirl>pdx whirl today, arg!

I did have like.. 3 minutes of excitement where all of the sudden I could shuffle like mad. I had a 10-15 contact totally unique shuffle run with pixies, atomics and stepping. Then it went away and I got frustrated.

My barflies were not 'on' tonight either. But holy jeez paradons were!

I really need to mod my climas, this is frustrating.

I hit twirl bsos tonight, I am not sure if I have done that before, regardless it was cool.

I have a strong ripstein it seems. I hit it like.. 4 times on one side and none on the other. I was *this* close a million times to it on the other side. I really wanted it bsos.

ok, more later.

GLASS is soon!

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 25 Jan 2005 22:33

FUCK! I suck at footbag raaahhhh!!!

I am getting way better at kicking though!

I find that when I am sucking it really cools down my inner rage to just kick a bit.

Derrick has a grindy tool so I can mod my climas tomorrow!

Finally!
