Went to New Amsterdam to chill with the homies.
This turned out to be awesome. Selecta played great 90's cuts plus source material. We rocked considerably hard given it was new am. It was all Bad Boy and Death Row, so a good amount of time was spent dancing to the lyrics. Prabu and Warren fuckin shit up hahah the dj table and an old man respectively. Devon not looking all that hurt, so kudos to him. Moves are coming along easier like trying to think on the spot. I got caught a couple times, but most of my runs were clean.
Wednesday Gymsport
Need to pick up the lino from Devon argh. So the things to work on this practice:
1. Air power: in the form of airflare, mill airflare, mill elbow airflare
2. Gainer thread: Got a good warm up today and I think I can visualize everything that needs to happen
3. Double corkscrew: I can definitely rock this move if I practice
4. 90 > halo: If I tap too hard hopefully it won't be too hard
Boo allergies, I guess I'll take this as an opportunity to do some work.

Tuesday
I get some time at CMU today! 7:30 it is. I've been seeing a lot of ill movements recently between the jam and bboyworld vids. I guess I should set some goals.
1. thread gainer: Yea been gabbing with no action on this. I'm going to get this today!
2. shoulder halo consistently: If I can do it consistently in drills then comboing to it will be easier.
3. more than one shakey airflare: Just gotta practice this and stop cyphering all the time.
I accomplished none of my goals today, so I guess they are good goals. I only really tried thread gainer once, I had to get used to flipping and holding a leg and landing on one foot. I'm going to keep at it until I'm not fearful anymore. Only did one shoulder halo today and missed the following halo, but people see the bump now. Last and probably least I still have only one shakey airflare. Didn't really learn anything, the whole practice I never shifted my weight fully to my right hand so any attempt would be hampered. Highlights: swipe > halo > head stop pose, somehow swipe > mill > flare > 90 with minimal drag on that left leg, close to 90 > baby freeze. It was a good practice.

Sunday
Session where?
My house, all footwork we were constrained due to space. This however was one of the more productive practices. Really practiced listening and step variation and control. I got Lays and an Arizona and was able to chill at home. Prabu turned his game on today as well as Devon. I think we got in a good hour and a half of straight cypher. Pretty good aerobically for me, especially after going hard in NY. Real kenjutsu, I can also lay the basis for a certain step and put some added funk on it. If I can join that with the music related knowledge regularly that would be the next step. Ended most of my sets clean and coming up in different poses. I had a couple decent get downs, but way better on the way up. Kinda random, but my crib is a natural footwork spot. And we can always session here cause I live here. Holla.

Chicken and Beer
The title says it all. Celebrating Kaki and Kevin's bday too!
Fun jam, shit starting late is getting real old. I expected my chicken and beer prompt. It was an ok event, I could probably throw a better one and hope to do so soon. I hit some cool sets early, but I'm still ways away technically and power wise from some of these cats. DJs were on point, but the sound was plagued with problems (mics cutting out and shakey levels). The battles ran so long I said fuck it and started boozin. I may have been 6 deep when we got called for the exhibition.
