I've been a bad blogger... but sue me... I've been busy!
I'm currently working at the Boys & Girls Club in South San Francisco as their clubhouse coordinator/technology director. Right now we're doing a lot of animation because unfortunately, a lot of our video production and audio production got jacked (before and after I got hired). This stuff includes 3 24" imac computers, 1 korg triton extreme synthesizer, 2 miniDV camcorders, and countless copies of Windows XP and various 3d software, and our OSX Adobe Design Premium installers. But On the bright side, we have a lot of our Windows installers for stuff like Adobe Web Standard and MS Office 2007.
So I've also been working slowly on getting the film together, but I recently took a big hit and didn't get a grant I applied to. It sucks, but hey, I guess I just need to do a few fundraisers. I also will keep my rights to sell it to whomever I wish (assuming there's a distributor that will be interested). But that's all to be seen later.
I've also been helping with Hella Hung and his Hung Dynasty's SOLO DVD, called "The Return of Animal Chin" Please watch it... it's the SH!#!!!
Yes! I finally got my internet back. Moved into a new place, and now I can really get down to business, and just in time to start blogging again here.
1.) if you didn't know, there's a new Among B-Boys YouTube channel that is so far compiling battles from the Among B-Boys 3 event. There's also links to that all over this website.
2.) Progress Update: currently waiting on a funding proposal... wish me luck. But I'll still be working on the rough cut of the film!
3.) I'm also recruiting soundtrack artists, check out Tou Saiko of Delicious Venom on the NY Times video blog
4.) And check out Sukie's little brother Jerry and his crew breakin in their house where Sukie used to!!!

in other dancing news... I know a lot of people hate those TV dance competitions, but anyone check out the JabbaWockeeZ on "America's Best Dance Crew" last night? If you don't know, JabbaWockeeZ are Hip Hop dance performance group who are pretty well respected around the B-Boy circles. I've seen them perform twice, once at one of the Battle of the Year USA comps, and another at the Culture Shock LA Decypher the Silence show.
B-Boy Villn, international man of infamy is at it again. This past weekend, our main man Villn, aka Longkue "Steven" Lor has out and about, his latest known whereabouts being "Paris, France". Good luck and safe travels, he is due to be back on Monday, Nov 26.

In more news, Villn's Twin brother Mpact aka Longka "Michael" Lor tells me at a recent competition it was a "UGF Day". Please do check out this Youtube clip of Underground Flow: Villn, Mpact and Philthy wreckin it at Clawz Out held at UCLA recently.
A reel from B-Boy Geo. Check it out. Velocity Crew, representin! Seems like there's been times where he's been away from Breakin, but it doesn't seem like he's lost a step.
