Circles

Going to Circles to rep and battle.

Fun times. I got alot of cyphering in with a Vagabond head and people who are where I want to be power-wise. I dunno, Stealth wasn't feeling the jam at all. Admittedly, Skeme was spinning repetitive breaks and the other DJs almost had no concept of maintaining proper sound levels. *note* You always control how you approach a situation. If something is a bit wack, work with the good in the situation and flip it so that the situation serves you. In this situation the music wasn't so great during the battles, but there were some gems in the cypher material (when the sound was correct :P).

For example; RAH Band - Messages From The Stars was played. The song is my second favorite from RAH Band. So the song is nowhere near danceable as a break, but you can sure as hell hustle to it. So I found this cute girl Hannah that did tops like she knew house dancing at least. Much fun, dance-wise she is on my level or above it. First of all, when I was clearly going too fast she said, "Are we doing salsa? [The steps should interchange] What style are we doing?". (that's a lday) So we dance and at some point out of a turn I fuck up the count (doing a 3-step to electrofunk I think of in 4 fucks me up). She remained poised, that goes really wrong normally.

At one point there was five people including me in a cypher. One guy is nice with it (flare > airflare x2 shit but mostly air power and some ok style). So I start going hard with him, like trying to best his last set or at least throw down something serious and kenjutsu. More people join in and I still try to go hard, now with whoever throws down. Then it's a cool cypher and I'm tired. Sorry I'm late to the game, but that is repping. Repping isn't paying your entrance fee and getting ousted in the first round. *note* If you can't make it to the semi-finals, help build a cypher or keep one going. Teena reminisced about the times when you didn't need a cash prize to get anyone to come to your shit. A jam was a jam and not a competition with judges. She made a good point, "[If it's a jam] then you're really being moved by the music [as opposed to the cash]."
