It all started Tuesday. I got the word that johnny and jorden are at zeke’s and reile’s, so I decide to head over there. I first stopped by Best Buy to get a RF modulator for the PS2 for the hotel room. Then I went straight to the apartment. I see jorden and Johnny and tom and zeke and reile there eating pizza and what not. We all ahng out for a bit. And after a while the Californians come by with mike. Californians = dat Amelia and Jeremy. They were all really cool and nice right off the bat … a sign of good things to come. We all hung out for a while, a bunch of barefoot shred went down. Some good cookies from zeke and that’s all I can remember … I lost a sandbag too. I left around 10:30 to go to a hookah bar with some friends.
The next day I woke up around 8, and got ready to head out. Packed my bag with the stuff I thought I needed. Called my cousin to see if he was ready, and I headed out to pick him up and down to mCcormick place(mp). I didn’t want to pay for parking when I got down to mp, so I drove around the streets looking for parking. After looking for 15-20 minutes, I see someone pulling out. I rush over to the spot, and find out that its tom and he just got there and got a parking spot right away. I was kinda ticked off cuz he got a spot sooo quick, but it was all good, I just drove around for a lil while longer, and after 5 minutes of driving around I found a better spot then tom had found. HA! Take that TOM! We went into mCcormick place, found the site, and greeted the first people we saw. Who were tom josh and scott. My cousin and I dropped off our stuff and we headed over to the ping pong site to get our ping pong on. That lasted for a good 30 minutes and off to the footbag site we went. A lot more people were there now. Jeremy Amelia dat zach j to name a few. I changed into my shred gear and started warming up. My cousin not being very interested in footbag anymore went somewhere to do something. Ummmm I don’t really remember what circles I was in, or who hit what … but I do remember one thing that Johnny hit that was awesome ….. nuclear ducking butterfly bsos, I don’t know why, but that was totally awesome to me. We all played more, but I don’t remember what happened. Afterwards we went to the hotel and hung out, got our food ordered, and went to search for shred. Once again I don’t really remember what happened, but I do remember playing 4 square against matt and kolo … those guys are some tricky ass bastards. After that we went to eat potbellys, which was quite tasty. We did other things too. But I don’t remember …haahah. I bought a mirken and a footfighter that day …. Drool. Drove jeff and chris home all the way to palatine, which was a hour and a half drive just to drop them off and then another half hour to get home …. Jeez, I sure am a nice guy and the I went to sleep
Thursday I woke up around 10:30, and slowly got ready to head out, I called my cousin, he said he didn’t feel like going, so I went out myself. On the way to mp I stopped in Chinatown and picked up some pineapple bubble tea. Then I was off to look for parking . after looking for like 15 minutes, I was about to give up, but then I saw the WV crew going to their car which was a sweet parking spot. I quickly went around the block and patiently waited for them to leave the spot. As I was waiting none of them noticed me … meh … that’s cool though. I parked and went into mp. I wasn’t all that giddy about playing today, so I stretched a bit and went to walk around watching all the footbagers footbaging. I don’t know if I played at all. Lets just skip to the hotel. Sdgfsdh ok so we’re at the hotel now, today we decided to get deep dish pizza … reile zeke and tom made up the order, and I collected all the money … we initially got told the wrong amount for the pizza. But it’s a good thing we had extra money which we we’re gonna use for pop. We couldn’t find the initial shred spot, so we walked around for a long while in a big group looking for another big group that was playing. After a long search we finally found them … and we soon got kicked out. Some people went back to the room and some stayed in the hotel lobby playing crotchfire … I kinda stayed in the middle of those two groups observing …. And realizing I had to leave, I left …. And went back to the hotel room. In the hotel room, the ps2 finally got hooked up on the tricky hotel tv, and zeke set up some wrestling matches in a game to amuse us for a while. Once that was done, many people went to play poker, and soon I left to go home … it had been a long day, and I was tired.
Before I don’t write anymore I just wanted to mention some people
Jeremy – awesome guy, his footbags are really good and he hit some crazy links and moves, however I don’t think I played with hime even once
Johnny – sick shred, prolly my favorite player from the whole tournament, I got to play with Johnny once, and he gave me some good pointers, he was really nice too.
Jorden – I didn’t get to play with him, but I did watch him play a lot. Also really good at juggling, and seemed like a very helpful person to anyone that asked him anything.
Amelia - really nice and fluid in her playing of the footbag. I got to play with Amelia a couple of times … and I made her play once
Emily – she has gotten sooo good, I got to play with her a few times and got to play 4square with her … still really nice and it was nice seeing her again
Dat – I think I played with dat for like 3-5 minutes, he was really cool and down to earth, he also let me watch him stitch a bag
Mike Hansen – I don’t know if there is any nicer footbager then mike … he drove so many people around it was unbelievable, I only got play with mike a few times and I got to play 4 square with him. Mike also gave me his last banana when I was hungry
Guys from Michigan - id ont know if I got to play with any of them, however I did talk to them a couple of times in the hotel rooms … they were all really cool … greg nelson is a really cool guy, it was my first tiem meeting him … his style was soo flowing!
Henry g – funny guy … I had already met henry, but I was glad he came out. I only got to play with henry once though, and we talked like once. No 4square action from henry though
Montreal – probably the coolest guys that I met. They were both really good at 4square …. I didn’t get to shred with kolo but I did get to play with matt. I bought 2 FF and a kolo sport tshirt. THANKS FOR TAKING MY MONEY!
Zach and brian from Wisconsin – I think I only talked to them once, but they seemed cool!
Tom k – thanks for all the work you put into this
Zeke – thanks for all the prizes and shirts/designs
Reile – thanks for the beer and other alchohol
Tim – thanks for the commentary
Scott d – thanks for the commentary and the great venue
That’s all I got for today and all the I can remember for now … maybe ill continure this tomorrow, sorry I didn’t include much footbag wise, but …. Yea …. I got nothing … others will fill you in on that

So I played tonight anyway, a lil middle of the night shred for like 45 minutes.
i cut off the toe walls on my lavers, and found out i can't do toe stalls on my left foot.
so i drilled my left toe stall along with my left clipper the whole time.
i hit my first ATW on my left side.
those that know me, know why i cant hit anything with my left leg/foot/whatever, so this is quite the accomplishment for me.
i plan to play more, we'll see how that goes.
my mirken is coming along quite nice, and i gave my first bath to my FF.
i also have 2 new bags just waiting to be broken in.
i wanna order some/a new bag
im bidding on some gUnits on ebay ... no one buy them, they're black with the yellow/green/red stripe thingy on em and they're size 9 ...
-cheers

We hosted two hackers from Buffalo, NY came into town yesterday (Sunday). Yes that's right, hackers. Zeke and I are both of hacker descent, so we were happy to meet them. Actually I totally forgot what day they'd be in, so I made other plans, but quickly broke them, picked up Zeke, and Reile (!), and we headed to Navy Pier. It was so sweet to go to a "session" with Zeke AND Reile, like good old times.
We had an awesome time finding parking for like 20-25 minutes, then headed inside. We then waited another 20 till our guests came.
Naomi and Rich came in later joined by John (who's actually their friend from the chicago suburbs). We hacked for about 3 hours(?). It was so fun and intense. These peeps were such good hackers, might I say some of the best I've ever seen! They were all spinny and rolly, and saves galore. Rich did alot of cool kicks into spins, and lots of low toe kicks. He actually went for a save once and landed on the floor , but keot the footbag going while sitting down! Naomi could save the thing like none other, and she had nice spins and rainbows and rolls galore. She was really really good - dzamn.
Zeke was impressing everyone with his maneuvers. After a while Reile and I started freestyling a little 50/50. Nathan came in after work and we continued to play for a while. He did this crazy one handed handstand with the fotbag on a heel stall and then kung fu kicked it up - BOOGE! Reile and I freestyled just us 2 after for a bit, and I hit Nuclear op mirage mid string
, and also a pdx ripwalk (#3).
Lots of fun! We then went to Chicago Joe's to eat. Nothing special, though the waitress wanted the ass for sure, Nathan knows. "Thank you so much!" I'll give you something to be thankful for...Umm yeah. Really fun!
