DEMF Recap....
« on: May 31, 2010, 01:54:44 AM »

Holy bananas what a day!

First the music... Startsky and clutch, kraak & smaak, mr scruff, Derrick Carter, inner city...
All of them did exceptional, truely some great effing sets. I am now a die hard k & s fan, and will do everything I can to make sure they come to Baltimore.

and The dancing
Austin, don't get frustrated with your location. Sometimes seclusion sparks intense creativity, and I think it shows in your threading. An event like this is a healthy dose for you to see what other kats are doing and start playing with some other ideas.

Chico and pwt, always great splitting the rug with you guys, t minus less than a week we are doing it again at starscape.

Tommy, keep it up dude! Your developing into 'your' style. I hope tiny didn't bug you out too much! God damn Romanians.

Distortion and moot, I didn't dance a whole lot with you guys but please keep pushing the dance. Liquid and digits have become increasingly un admired within the scene, we need advocates like youselves in every city.

Hgitch, dude you are freaking crazy lol

Kev, ditto the above. Thanks for playing host to your fine city. You fuck face.

Richard, get back on xbox you deusche.

Kai & nene, again, thank you so much for your hospitality. I wouldn't have thought in a million years that kai and I would have so much to agree on, thanks again brother. And you are a stud for filming EVERYTHING, I gurantee the footage he captured of the circles is some of the best liquid and digitz to date. I highly encourage you to release some of it to this community. I know you got Tinys 20 minute digit/facial spectacle, I'd like to see how some of mine came out as well.

Tiny, Elena and Jared... I love you guys, nuff said. 

Fer real though, the footage kai got is gonna be bananas... It'll speak for itself.

Can't wait to do it again next weekend!

YESSSSSS!

I had waited a long time to meet Tiny and was absolutely blown away.  My jaw was dropped every time he went out.  He would do these long amazing sets then post up against something.  Few minutes later someone would get near him and it was like awaking the jabberwocky...So goooood! Learned a ton.

Eriz...Saw you pull some liquids out of your jacket cuffs :D  We didn't talk much but you carry a great energy about you and I can't wait to see you next week.

Lucas...Pick another color ;P Thanks for schooling me in the ways of locking, enhancing my knowledge of folds, and cracking me up at the afters...Next week...Round two!

Chicago Liquid PEEPS! So much good and I thank you all for preparing me for this weekend.  I think we've all grown a lot from last year and it's going to be a wild ass summer.

nene...The sammys the APPLES and the Love.  Your the best and an amazing friend.  Thanks for all your help, consideration, and patience this weekend.  Hope your new place is feeling nice :D

Shimmy Sham-Ur lady is beautiful and seems to add this extra glow to you.  Always a pleasure stomping around doing liquids with you.  Thanks for helping me roast Rio and his boy.  Thanks for helping me with Chico too :)

Chico- FDC!!! Hahahha...Starscape is going to be a blast this week and I'm looking forward to our continuing lockquid sessions.  Welcome to my family.

Deviance...been to long dude, u did this threading set at Alien and Androids that melted my face.  I love the way you dance with props as well :)  I salute you for being an adult and taking life seriously.  By the looks of it your staying sharp and having fun.  Hopefully you come out to UGS this year but if not come to Chi in October.

Verb Verb Verb...the verbs the word.  Your a sincere dude, with liquid on the mind, thanks for making the trip, and getting down.  You seem to me like a guy truly down to help this dance spread and grow.  I'm looking forward to showing you around my city in October.

Derailer, yep, ur welcome, and made it out of Detroit with out pulling a single Michigan Left...U TURNS ALL THE WAY!!!  You seemed to have a lot more snap in you this year and busted down hard.  I was a bit bummed I didn't get to crash at your pad but sounds like it was a full house anyways.  See you soon buddy keep the D safe.

Code Red...YEP...you speak soft and twiddle well.  An honor making you and your lovely counter part.  As I said, Thanks for all you've done and hopefully you'll come together with us in some way shape of form this year to help us push things forward.

I think that is everyone I got to get down with this weekend...Next stop STARSCAPE!

I'll try really hard and fail at keeping this short...

To everyone who's man-boobs I groped, or to any male I flirted with...I'm very sorry, I act weird when I get nervous...I get nervous a lot...I'm really not an actual homosexual...or am I? ;)

To everyone who gave me much needed humbling critiques pre-DEMF and at DEMF,  THANK YOU!!!

To tommy, u were a beast a confluence and now I'm even more impressed with you as a dancer than ever.  thanks for hanging out.  you're good ppl.

Kai and nuh-ray-duh (yes I'm that dumb)...I found you both to be very nice people and I wish I would have shown you my horrible social skills.  I just suck at talking and I didn't know how ya'll city folk would handle my deliverance movie quotes.  Kai, your dancing on day 1 was just so sick it hurt my head.  thanks for filming, but I dont really feel great about how I danced, I u/s if I dont have much post worthy footage.

red, yet another person I didnt have the balls to talk even though I watched the LPC video a million times.  your dancing is even more impressive in person.  your back and forth with tiny was sick.  thanks for true or false, you went to UT?
Lucas, you're a beast.  I'll introduce myself next time.

MOOT, great 2 c u again homeboy.  We should really be going half on travel cost to these events.  save us both money.  Oct liquid conference?

Austin, you're really really cool guy. I hope we get to kick it again fairly soon, and the soonier the better.  the basement session got the weekend off to a great start and was probably my favorite part of the event.

Kevin, you ever need anything or a place to crash, then hit me up.  don't loose my #.  I owe you some chicken tacos, gas money, and parking cost for day 2.  Damn those tacos were good.  you got the majority of my sexual harassment...I'm sorry..unless you liked it...

TINY, thanks for coming.  I learned a lot at the works from you but the most important was about the amount of time I should be practicing daily.  time to step up my dance work ethic.

PWT, I were really killing it with that apple.  glad meet in person.  I was always scared of your other styles of dance, but now I think you have me on liquid too.  We'll battle next time.  you travel a lot, so if you ever need a place to crash in east TN, then I got you.

the 2 brothers from chicago who's names I forgot b/c I have an awful memory.  I like you guys.

Distortion, you gave me 2 great pieces that no1 else has yet and I think will really improve my dancing.  Hope see you again soon.

shameless, just as good in person.  thanks for introducing yourself.  I hope we get to hang out more next year.

chico, you're good ppl :)

Ashlyn, Thanks for always being so supportive of my dance.  You're coming next year.

Guy in the green tights...get a cup or something! Gross!

This the most educational single experience of my dance life.  Aside from that I feel like I made a lot of like minded friends.  The next time I see any of you again, it wont be soon enough.

still so sore..x_X but yea i had a blast, music wise maybe not the best(krack n smack threw down though), but just on the dancing alone this might be my favorite year of demf since i started goin in 07. i was so impressed with everyone :)

kai/nene/pwt - without you guys i wouldve had a MUCH more stressful weekend worrying about my broke-ness. but i had a fantastic time due to your hospitality and the good company you keep. i'm forever thankful :)

kevin - ditto to the above paragraph, ur an awesome host, a terrific dancer, and a absolute blast to hang out with. ur homie terrance is good people too, long live the peel! haha

scott - glad u made it up to get down with us, uve come a long way since i first met you 3 years ago

verb - thx for being a trooper and making that super long drive all by urself. sick dancing man u definitely turned some heads, and showed some of those bboys whats up hehe

itch - u definitely gave me alot of smiles in the circle over the weekend, keep it up friend :).

chico - really enjoying ur progress man u've got a really fun vibe to your dancing :) keep tuttin on'em!

elena - i wanted to see you dance more! the little bits i saw here and there had me intriqued it looks like uve improved a good bit since the last clips you put out, but i'm happy we got to meet and hope u had a good time

lucas n tiny - its safe to say i've never been more inspired than watching you two get down this weekend. u guys bugged me out so much and i loved every second of it. its definitely a quality i want to have....and it reminded me that theres SO much i still havent seen and need to explore with liquid. i'm still in shock, holy crap lol.

jared - was great meeting you too thanks so much for the awesome words and the drill you showed me :).

so yea, thanks everyone for another crazy experience and surely one of the best weekends of the year. and unless they revamp alot of the lineup booking, this might've been my last one for awhile. i'm glad it ended on a good note :)

My head is finally together enough to sting some words together.

From a musical stand point the weekend was great for me. Everything I heard was good at the redbull stage, and the only thing I didn't really enjoy was how dark the dubstep at Sunday afters was. I might have enjoyed it had I not been in fear of what it could do to my psychy at that time.

   I wished more than anything that unfoldz could have made it out, because I bailed on everyone to go watch Plastikman and that shit was MAGIC!

  As far is single call outs... here we go

 Kai - your liquid is damn good, and your digitz are just wacky. I wish we could have got to throw down on the music for a little bit longer because I was really enjoying what we were doing.

  Nene - it was nice seeing you again. Next year you need to send me a shopping list before hand so we can have the Detroit taco show down.

 VERB!!!! This guy! Aside from being a pretty dope dancer, he is one hell of dude! Every year I seem to have one or 2 people who I really click with, and this year it had to have been Verb and Austin! If there is ever anything going on down in tennesse, you call me up brotha, I am good for the drive.

 Austin, again, great dancer, but an even better person. While I do enjoy all the floasis people there are only a few I think I would hang with if I didn't dance, you are definately one of the ones I would hang with. The dance session in the underground with you and verb was the highlight of my weekend dance wise.

    Tommy - You are by far the most interesting liquid dancer there is right now. While you don't have a very showy style, it is the most unique, and it seems like new flow paths are perpetual with you.

    Itch - It was nice to have you out again. Your style quickly draws people in, and your charm as a dancer keeps them there. You have some battle qualities that many liquid dancers lack. Good people to the fullest you are.

   Scott - Your dancing is dope, always has been. Keep up the great work. I hope things start to pan out for you back home so next year you can have a more enjoyable time. If not... please learn home to grill ramen outdoors :)

   Shameless - My Michigan homey, your digitz sessions were so on point this year. Your girl seems like she understands the party vibe... keeper in my opinion. It was great to see you out, maybe after pretty lights gets back from the UK you cna road trip with me to catch them.

  Chico, man you have a vibe that radiates off of you. One that says I am here to have a good time, and nothing will take that away from me. Your dancing is awesome, and the fact that you are all smiles when you do it makes it fun for everyone to watch. Smart on your part to jump in on Lucas after Tom wore him down a little :)

   PWT - holy fuck thanks dude! Your gift was well recieved not only by me, but by half the floasis crew. Between that and what I already had it made for a half-cocked first 2 days. On the dancing tip, I have to raise my glass to you, going up against someone as dope as Lucas took massive nuggets!

    Lucas - While you didn't do the amount of liquid I thought you would, you made up for it in ten fold with the sickest digitz I have ever seen in my life. If you don't toot your own horn, I will, Lucas has the best digitz I have ever seen by far. A few years ago this guy had a few nasty blow ups, but now aside from the old blow up, he has a foundation so solid and such a great sense of pacing that he can go on for ever, never looking stale, never uninteresting. I wish we could have thrown back a few shots, I just fergot there was a bar at the afters until it was too late.

Tiny - beast, nuff said!

E-rizl - I didn't talk to you much, but your style really caught my eye at the afters. very unique, nice slow controled movements. I will definately be on the look out for you coming up quick in the years to come. Your set of teachers is unparalleled, like being taught how to smoke weed by Red and Meth and Cheech and Chong at the same time.

 Moot, we didn't talk much, but it was nice seeing you again.

   Rob - you made my weekend. There is nothing like waking up and finding someone under your table.
