I said ages ago I'd do a write up. Let's get to the goods first :S I know, I know, I have a HUEG poi bias, also its funny how you can watch the raw footage and see my camera veer towards girls wiggling hoops. X3

More to come of Rovo, Ronan, and Olive, and maybe we'll see after that. I'm backlogged on sending out footage to people.

I realized right after I started rendering I forgot to shoutouts to Arashi, Musashii, and Poje. Well hell, here it is then. There's still boatloads of beautiful faces I have committed to memory with no names to back them up.

Firedrums was an island in a sea of recent turbulence inundating my life. Following the footsteps of my wrapping up of uni in Utah and my move out here to the East Bay, and in the midst of job searching, while right afterwards hanging out with an old friend who has had a resurgence of Leukemia, finding out my Mum back in Chicago has cancer, and attempting to plan my summer, let alone my future...

I'm sorry if I wasn't 100% present at Firedrums and afterwards, I know I was prone to unexpected timing and not being able to hang out with people I'd hoped to spend more time with, while being my usual loopy self. The videos I edited are also, by large, rushed and I'm still calmly meditating over a panic at how things are going, well let's just say life sucks.

However, I am indubitably grateful for having met you all. This is just a small token of gratitude, piecing together clips and recordings and snapshots of Firedrums. These are some of the times that were fun, when I could forget about how shit was going down and mull over how crazy life is. These are some of the memories I want to remember. These are the people that I was inspired by.

There were plenty more. Even though I recorded over 3 hours of Firedrums stuffs, it wasn't enough for such a great time. I'm just sorry I wasn't able to showcase 300+ faces.

Quite a few people told me I smile a lot when I spin... heheh, I think most of you already know that joyous feeling though.

Thanks for sharing it,
~K

  • HEY! MY BOUNCY TRICK MADE IT INTO THE VIDEO! :-D
    • That was truly epic.. I like Ronan's technical ass flossing skills..
      • Kael, Absolutely tha koolest!!! Sweet choices with the sound tracks. Really fun to see so much of what went down. Every year I say I'm gonna chill and take in more of what's happening, , always there's so much and always it's all over way too soon. So it means very much to see all the videos from you and others this year. I know Zan has been collecting even more footage and we still have Waldy's and others photos to come.
        One thing you have to edit out is that absolutely wrong bit about ",,,,,, who has no real talent". DUDE, you got a lot of talent and even more spirit and wonderful energy. I just can't believe the weekend has come and gone. But then it's not gone, , , because we have these uber awesome kool videos thanx to you.
