Today I went into San Francisco proper. The competition has been in Oakland, which is a rough as guts kind of area. It would be if we had a major event in Canberra, but it was actually in QBN.
Today was the final of the circle contest, it was pretty insane, in the end in came down to a tie between Clavens and Damian, the tiebreak was one more round, which David won fairly convincingly.
I watched some net today, I would like to practice that some more when coming home.
The Routines finals are tomorrow, that should be pretty good.
Anyhow, I think I'm going to go to bed soon. I was hoping to catch Francisca online, but I think maybe she has a class at this time. I haven't really been keeping track of the time difference, I'm not entirely sure of the time in Australia right now, I think it's Friday around 5pm.
This night I'm having a beer rest. I actually bought some, but I'm totally not in the mood tonight. After quite a long time with a lot of people, it's quite nice to just hang out by myself. I'm glad I went into SF today. I had a good chat with Jon Schneider on the way back home. He is a legend of the game, and a super nice guy.
So I had an American experience last night, I played this game beer pong. So on our first attempt, we were very poor. I was playing on the Austrialasian team of me and Armin. We were up against Sunny Genz and Barrett from New York. So on our first turn we were nujacks against these veterans.
So you may imagine, we went quite badly, we lost to 0. Just as in pool, when you are pantsed, the theme is to do a nude run. So I was heavily against this, we ended up doing the run. At the beginning, I was in my shred shorts and Armin was in his jocks. Halfway round I was really doing the naked lap.
So we were the bums of the world, we needed to make a comeback, so we played against Anssi from Finland and this girl Linda, she's from New York. She has been learning stuff like around the world, some easy tricks, and each time suddenly has a circle of the best players in the world congratulating her on it.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a pair of breasts" mused Ken Somolinos after one such occasion today.
So anyway, we had to play them in a losers match. From the get go, I was into this game. I came close to getting them to drink two cups on the first go, then got my next 3 shots in a row in. In another shot, I went for a bounce, it was terribly wide, but it bounced off Anssi's foot and into the cup, 2 cups out.
They had one cup remaining and we had a bad throw, but Linda hit it away on the full, our point. At this stage the pressure was building for a nude run, Anssi is from Finland, they don't mind a bit of nudity, so his throw, I think he aimed to miss. Linda missed too in the redemtpion round, immediately Anssi was off and racing, with a big hurdle at the end. Linda was off for a lap of the net courts as well, she did it with her boobs out, which was met with raucous applause.
So yeah that was a pretty crazy night.
Tonight I'm having a rest, having a rest from seeing so many people as well. Think it's time for bed now. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a real rager.
