1. So tell us about yourself. What are you up to these days? I finally finished construction management course and graduated with a bachelors degree. It didn't get me much though, was jobless for a while. Moved back to the bay area and eventually found a job doing CAD work for a plant that makes folding glass walls. As much as I liked the music selections of the GF/DM stuff, and how much I played DDR, IIDX was always the big challenge I liked (despite always suckign at it) Definitely 6th style. (ED: I'm inclined to agree, honestly) Oh man, organizing CVGL1 was a nightmare and a half (FUCK MIGRAINES) and I was so upset that I missed a fantastic freestyle lineup. I still had to come back later that night and clean up after you fuckers too. [>_<] Somehow beating Tigger Eugene at Bemani By the Bay. I swear I still don't know how that happened. I remember my first time out at the studio, borrowing my parents' old minivan to drive up to Sac for the weekend. Sadly I did not get to participate in any legendary drunk shows. I haven't played much of any Bemani stuff in years, but I still keep the music spirit alive with DJ Hero and Dance Central (and I still kick ass at both) It jumped the shark years ago, since then it's also harpooned the shark, beaten it with a hockey stick, and mounted its head on the mantle above the fireplace. The US versions just didn't have the flair or power that the Japanese originals had. Not to mention waaaay more shitty song selections. My first time seeing it was the summer of 2001, out playing minigolf at CVGL with my family and my brother and I tried it for the first time on an original USA mix machine. I think Stomp To My Beat was the first song we tried (and failed hard at). We ended up getting a set of soft pads for our PSone and I dove in head first. My brother lost interest after a few months. Holy shit has it really been 10 years now? You guys are making me feel old (despite being younger than everyone). Keep rocking it. Big thanks fot BlackLab for doing the interview! Still deciding who I want to do tomorrow so stay tuned! I promise I'll have another one up tomorrow! |
