Man am I footbagged-out from this past weekend!
Friday: Taught footbag classes for Wellness Day at Great Oaks Elementary school in Round Rock. This was a great time! The kids were very excited about footbag and RRISD took great care of me.
Saturday & Sunday: Southern Regionals in Houston, TX. I played net, freestyle AND golf. Lordy, lordy that was a lot of footbag. I took 3rd in both golf and freestyle, and didn’t place in net. Apparently Curtis hit atomsmasher > atomsmasher > atomic torque and I missed it. We shredded a lot, played some golf and net, and I got to see a sweet power metal band called Golden Axe! All the Texas Footbag Hall of Fame players were there. I don’t need to name names. If you haven’t met them before, you need to come to a tournament and meet the many living legends we are so fortunate to have here.
Well the world is always changing, and we in the footbag community feel it’s important to keep up with the times. In 2009 the new hot technology is Twitter and we are now on there at www.twitter.com/AustinHack. It’s the best way to get real time updates about footbag activity going on in Austin.
The best part is, you can use your mobile phone (any type of phone, you don’t need a fancy schmany iPhone or anything) to get text message updates about sessions. Just send the message “Follow AustinHack” to 40404 and Twitter will send you a text message every time we tweet. So say for example we decide to have an impromptu session in front of the Texas Capitol randomly on a Tuesday night, we’ll tweet and if you’re following us, you can see it and head over and join in. Isn’t technology cool?
P.S. If you’re interested in Houston footbag info, check out www.twitter.com/HoustonFootbag for updates from our good friends, the Houston Skyliners.
Just announced this week: Southern Regionals will be held in Houston, TX the weekend of May 9-10.
