I just saw COL 2008

Thanks Sandy and Durbin... And Durbin - you try your fancy slidey stuff in a big long skirt and uneven wet surface

Noel... hmmm. Lots I could say here about comments you made about me, and other people. But I'm not going to.

Just one thing: "I thought that the music could have been a little better"

Really?

Will is an exceptional musician and an incredible guitar player. The music used in my video was one of very few that was 'real', not just a generic track ripped off the internet.

I could rant on about this for much longer... but I'm going to stop here.

As for the hippy-vibe... I didn't see that

The Tao comment, my mum's skirt, the title (which was also the name of the track) all tied in to the meaning I was trying to get across - obviously not very well

Anyways...

Oh, and Sandy... I thought yours was great too (fantastic editing by Sy!), just very no-nonsense - and when I think of you, I see you smiling in a cheeky way

i never meant to offend anyone, just my honest criticism's (lets not start this thread again)

oh no am I the new Meg!

I didn't realise the thread had stopped...

And no, you're definitely not the new Meg

i meant the "honest criticism" topic that often happens when people have a hard time accepting certain forms of critique.

Not this thread, i would love to hear more from others about COL

I think it's fair to be critical of criticism if the person that is the critic has totally missed the point of the video.

Like if I were to be all like critical of 'unhurried' saying he didn't do like five matrixies and loads of anti-spin contorted hand isolation doubles, it would entirely miss the point of the his video, which clearly isn't about that.

But hey, I can be harsh again if you want, just ask! I was being super heaps nice and when I look back at my first post I kinda cringe. It looks like a cuddly censored bluecat style of post. I'm so middle aged now. I can be mean still. I promise.

Thanks Clare, but i edited it not Sy. Although he did all the camera work for me. No mean feat for a cripple!

Yea i could have smiled more i guess, i did in some bits but they just didnt make it through to the final edit. Besides, i take my spinning very seriously dont ya know

Hehe... no worries Meg... we all know you are the mother of mean...

And Sandy... wow, I thought Sy edited... good work then indeed

More smiling next time please

x

and meg? if you want me to be less cuddly, i will.

just wait til i tell you what i REALLY thought of your vidoe

Hey! I didn't even use the word 'pandering'.

panda-ing?



i kick your ass.

when do we get judgement, in a moment of on-topicness?

BLUECAT BIRTHDAY
!!!
Take that!

I think the birthday cat would rather go for wine

Or perhaps just hang out looking mysterious

cool... I never thought about it before, but "blue cat" is the name of a very fine chocolatier in brisbane cbd...

mmmm... chilli chocolate truffles...

To quote MCP's opinion of COL2008:

"There was no really truly bad stuff this time."

I was on COL2008. That means MCP thinks that I am not truly, absolutely horrible at spinning. If she put that on a button and gave it to me, I would wear it. I'm not even joking.

MCP - To answer your question, the torch poi entry it was filmed after FireDrums. I had never seen 1.5s before FireDrums, and it gave me the idea to try them with torch poi.

Noel - I agree. I have a long way to go in spinning, and need to learn more. But I'm glad I got torch poi on a COL....Hopefully, my entry will encourage others with more skills to try their hand at torch poi (and then they'll teach me how to make those things sing).

As a side note, Noel, my entry for next year's COL will only be facial expressions, with no props of any kind.

Two words: antispin eyebrows. You heard it here first.

Good heavens. The USA elected Obama and the Red Sox just signed 2008 MVP Dustin Pedroia to a six year contract. Verily, friends, it is a great time to be alive right now.

:ditto: Compliments from Meg are amazing. I've printed mine out and am going to have it made into a t-shirt

whereas i'm keeping a collection of all my mcp-insults and am hoping to publish soon....

Ohhhh, where's my preview copy?

Tis not fair. You never insult me to my face. I feel unloved.

*looks at Photo of Meg*

Bitch.

So when do the judges reach their decision and announce this to the world - "Winners will be announced in November"
