Erwin and I have set up the first ever, official Bboyworld blog!

http://www.evolutioncountdown.com/

I've decided there needs to be a place to write about the stuff going on behind the scenes to Bboyworld events, as well as our travels around the world. Also, I felt that my personal blog here at Livejournal started to be less "personal" and more updates of the bboys here in Korea. Not that I mind! It's just it started to be less about me, and more about my famous friends.

I will still write here, but about less bboy related information.
For all of your worldwide bboying dance needs, please go Evolution Countdown, the blog linked above.


I will be writing.
Loan will be writing.
MisLee will be writing.
Erwin will be writing.
...and many more!

Feedback and comments are most welcome.


p.s. et aussi, je parle français, donc, vous pouvez commenter en francais!
- or Chinese!

Deoderant hunt
On the way back from practice, I stopped by a Watson's healthy/pharmacy store. My mission was to jump in, purchase deodorant, then jump out and quickly catch my train back to Anyang. However, I found myself walking around in circles, looking for the deodorant section. There were so many different kinds of facial masks, moisturizers, yet...no deodorant? My friend Kee finally asked the store clerk. So, the guy then walked to the back storage and came out with all these multiple kinds of Nivea deodorant. I was like, "Whaaat? How come you don't stock this up front?!"

Apparently Koreans don't use deodorant. I have to agree, many Chinese don't either. Not saying I have a good reasoning for this, but I think it has something to do with our lack of body hair, as well as the fact that we shower more than most people. But yo! I still think Asians smell. Especially if the people have kimchi seeping out of their pores.


Webcamming at the Studio:
Yesterday, I had intended on practicing. But it turned out to be a 2+ hour webcam session with Loan from the TIP studio. (I brought my laptop to the studio.) I felt bad because we were interrupting Loan during her midterm studies, but...not like she cared. Frog kept stripping in front of the webcam, Lee kept toturing the VIP junior guys with Atomic Fireball candy, and Virus set the worst example of the crew "elder" by acting like a 10 year old kid on camera. haha...it was all in fun.

By the way, did you know, the term "fireball" literally means "big ass testicles" in Korean? Rush from Gamblerz was explaining that to me the other day.

Practiced yesterday at the Gamblerz studio with Lee & Dyzee. I've been to the studio, but never for a practice. (I've always practiced at either TIP/Last4One/Rivers) But yo, practice was good. It was so damn intimidating, though, because the main practice room is small and you're kinda put on the spot when you go out. Especially since many of the Gamblerz guys have such good technical moves.

It's like:
- The End goes out with his crazy power
- Then Bruce Lee does some air flares
- Then Pop jumps in via jackhammers & continues to perform non-stabbing airbabies
- Then Sick does some crazy, unexplainable contortionist move
- Then you got some crazy Russian bboy (video above), who can do 23 rotations in his 2000s spin
- Then...I jump in with my dorky ass 8 step/3 step floorwork.

Haha...seriously, I felt like an idiot. I never had that feeling at TIP or Last4One, but damn... Dyzee and I were just on the sides, sitting there going, "nope, can't do that...or that...yeah, that, too." Ha, but it was all good. I'm friends with most of the guys, so it was cool. Except Heymi (bgirl JuceBaby) kept laughing at my facial expressions when I dance. :-o





Someone asked about the overwhelming appearance of foreign bboys practicing/training in Korea these days. My answer would be that yeah, it is true, however, they've always been to Korea, it's just not many people have documented this with non-battle footage. Well, not since me with Strife.tv

The video above is the first ever "official" Floor Gangz interview. I finished editing it yesterday; afterwords I felt so relieved, since it took me quite some time to do it, especially the subtitles. I have to say, this could be one of the funniest interview articles yet. It was all jokes with Fhiz's face; and I don't know what I was on when I decided to use Richard Gere's face. Haha...that was so random, as well as Darkwing Duck, and comparing Phoenix's afro style to old school Michael Jackson.

My idea for the video was to make the Floor Gangz guys look like approachable people, folks you would love to have a beer with. They are so much fun in real life, so why not transfer that into the interview? You can really see how well of a "family" they are.


Rest of the Day Plan:
- read up on CSS coding (for editing the Bboyworld blog layout)
- I know HTML, but don't know diddly-squat about CSS, unfortunately
- train at TIP studio
- film Virus & Ronin giving a talk about Korean bboy history

I am stressing out because I have so much to do, so many people to hang out with, more videos to take, before I leave Korea on November 5th. I don't want to leave!

Good morning! It is about noon on Saturday, and my "roommate" Aaron is still asleep. Around 10 am, his phone alarm set off, blaring to his ringtone of Big Bang - Haru, Haru. But since then, he has managed to hit the snooze button more than a bajillion times, and is still doing it now as I type. It's kinda funny. Then he'll try and pretend to wake himself up by speaking some incoherent phrase like, "Blaaarrrghhhh," then he falls back to sleep again. Haha....



But yo, check this out. I was at the Jinjo studio the other day for their midnight practice, and around 4 am, Lee & I got this brilliant idea which was to "call out" our friends who do Strife.tv over in California. Great ideas are always made at 4 am, yes. We wanted to make this the most stupidest, non-dancing, online battle ever. So, our first shot was with Dyzee doing his crazy finger threading. In case Strife-Cali thinks of something to hit us back, Korea has an answer for everything.


7Commandoz
The reason I was at Jinjo's studio was to film & interview an article on the new supercrew, 7Commandoz. As of now, it consists of Differ, Wing, Skim, Hong10, Ronnie, and Menno. So, it is essentially 6Commandoz, with the seventh one being somewhat mysterious. (Almost as mysterious as the last Cylon from Battlestar Galactica, haha, **nerd alert**) The interview contained half serious questions, and half somewhat seriously, but more goofing around questions. I will post both versions online in a few weeks, after I get done with the never-ending-but-i-need-to-finish Floor Gangz interview.

I was talking to bboy Fleta that night about their training/sleeping schedules. He was explaining to me, that since Jinjo practices every day from midnight to 7 am, he usually goes to sleep around 11 am, and wakes up around 10 pm each day. But sometimes, if he feels like "partying," he would go to sleep at 3 pm in the afternoon. Talk about living a crazy upside down life. But Fleta kept bragging to me that since their lives are so nocturnal, they hardly ever experience jet lag or a timezone difference when traveling.


My plan for the rest of this Saturday:
- clean my stuff - throw out unnecessary stuff
- go to Namguro for the Soul Kingz battle
- watch the new episode of Heroes
- try to win a prize from the claw game

We had some free time at practice, so we filmed another "cribs" episode, this time at the T.I.P. studio. Even though I mentioned only using Peter only that one time, someone commented about actually liking him as a host, so I decided to have him narrate it again. T.I.P.'s studio is probably my favorite place to practice in Seoul. The vibe is a lot more relax and fun; a lot of times we dance for two hours and then mess around for the next hour. More "cribs" episodes coming soon. Perhaps of someone's house next?

On Thursday, I will be following Floor Gangz around in the market neighborhood of Namdaemun. Tinoroc will be leading us through the neighborhood, the market, ya know...the scene! I've always thought Tino to be one of the most stylish dancers in Korea, so it made sense to have him show us around. Later, at midnight actually, Lee & I will be interviewing 7Commandos at the early morning Jinjo practice.

sample 7Commandos question:
"In the English language, 'commando' also means that you are not wearing any _______.
What word is missing?"


I am quite aware at the rising rivalry between Floor Gangz and 7Commandos. They've met twice in the finals of events, and it has always been a heated battle. Also, there are some Rivers members, and some Jinjo members among them. I think it is ironic I had both of the crews scheduled in one day. Haha...I'm taking no sides.


Breakbeat of the Day:

Ananda Shankar - Dancing Drums

I went to the Bboy Dynamic Championships last Sunday. We went to Cheolsan station and met up with Feez, Tinoroc, Physicx, Issue, Pocket and all of them. I love how most Korean dancers are good friends outside the battle. Events such as this offer a good opportunity for people to come together and hang out, especially if dancers were supposed to arrive 2 hours before the start deadline. Morning of Owl was there wearing all black, almost as if they came from performing at a Shakespeare play. Haha, only those guys can pull that dress off. The battle was outside, in an amphitheater. It got freezing cold by the end, coming to around 11 degrees Celsius. I really want to do an interview and ask Morning of Owl, "so, do you still don't wear shoes during the winter battles?"

Korean bboys are so spoiled, in my opinion, because: 1) this event was free, and 2) first place was $3,000, and 3) fourth place was $500. The fourth place amount is sometimes more than the first place prize in most USA battles! And that would include a $20 entrance fee. Wow, Korea is so nice.


More Than A Stance
The web-magazine More Than A Stance featured our Van Jam 2 coverage in its latest entry.

http://morethanastance.com/blog/eventnews/2009/10/strife-tv-makes-crazy-b-boys-look-almost-normal/

There are two ways to cover a jam like Jean Claude Van Jam, where battles like this one take place:

1. Report on all the weirdos dressed up in masks and Speedos while trying not to let them touch you.
2. Out-weird them all.

Thankfully, Strife.tv chose number two and put out a great video about a b-boy jam with absolutely no footage of b-boying in it at all. Because really, isn’t being weird and wearing masks what b-boying is all about?

Yeah! "out-weird them all...with absolutely no footage of b-boying", haha. I love hearing comments about Stife.tv, especially about our creativity. Loan & I are currently brainstorming of ideas for our Claws Out coverage, as well as a potential Red Bull BCone coverage. Stay tuned.


ManOfGod Presents Rhythm Disorderz
My guy, Bboy ManOfGod from Motion Disorderz/Rhythm Attack just released his first official bboy mixtape! I'm not sure where he will be selling it, but be sure to ask around if you are in the Milwaukee, Chicago area, or wherever Motion Disorderz may be battling in the future. It's tiiiiiight. I'm happy to hear him progressing in his career as a hip hop DJ. I've known him for years, ever since he's been bragging to me about how many rare beats he's collected on his computer his freshman year of college, haha. Here is a sampler mixtape from ManOfGod, made a few months ago. This one is a hip hop mixtape, thus probably not something you would session to.


My plan for the rest of the day:
--go practice at T.I.P.
--business meeting with Virus
--work on getting the official Evolution blog online
--film a T.I.P. studio tour
--edit Floor Gangz video
--eat Popeyes's fried chicken
--tomorrow I will be working with Lee to edit her BOTY footage

Rivers Crew studio cribs episode.

Peter is narrating this video since Loan is in the States and Lee is currently battling at BOTY Germany. What's funny is that my online viewers are already asking for Lee to comeback to redo the scene, haha. Sorry Peter, hahaha. Although he didn't do a bad job, especially for having this be his first time ever at the studio. And...someone had requested for Lee's "sister" to do the interview, haha.

Also, congrats to my friends at Gamblerz for winning BOTY this year! Yeaaaahh son! They've been practicing hard, especially after their "disappointing" performance at R16.


and I'm off to the 3v3 jam. I like how many of these Korean jams, such as this one, have no cover charge, yet carry a ridiculous prize money such as $3,000. Korea's spoiling bboys.

Useful Korean words!
These are samples from the book called Making Out In Korean.


Bboy Dynamic Championship
I will be hanging out tomorrow at the Bboy Dynamic Championship. It is a 3v3 battle. While at Rivers today, Born was telling me that him, Physicx, and Redfoot were going to compete for the $3,000 prize.


Born's Hip Hop School Filming
I was at Rivers today to film Born's class. I will put out an article on Born's Hip Hop School in a few weeks, much similar to the one we did for Physicx's School. And for everyone that enjoyed the tour of Virus's crib, I also did a Rivers Crew studio "cribs episode." It will be up in a few hours on our youtube page.

My friend Peter narrated the Rivers Crew cribs segment because Lee went to Germany a few days ago to compete in the 2v2 Bgirl battle at BOTY. She went there with Zinny (TG Breakers). I'm curious to hear how well they did. I lent her my small camcorder so hopefully we'll see some nice backstage footage from the event!


and finally, Loan & I are thinking of possibly going to Red Bull BCone next month

Loan, Erich, and Ari bring you a really funny, and creative coverage of the Jean Claude Van Jam 2 event in Artesia (LA), hosted by Knuckleheads-Cali. I love how all of us at Strife.tv have a crazy sense of humor, and the creativity & editing skills to put up videos such as this. As Loan would say, "Strife originates! Never duplicates!"

fyi, Loan does not have a twin sister, haha....

Watch out for more stuff from us in the near future. In the meantime, I need to get off my lazy ass and finish my Floor Gangz interview article. I've just been so lazy because the amount of subtitles I need to input are beyond crazy. (English & Korean subtitles) All I can say is that it will be the most funniest crew interview ever done.


Capri-Sun
Yesterday, I moved from my old apartment to Aaron's pad. I moved out because the rent on the place expired, and also I will be going back to the States for the winter holidays in November. I left thirty packages of Capri-Sun in my refrigerator for the new person because I was too lazy to take them with me. I originally had like 70+ bags of them, and tried drinking down 20 in one day, but then I started to feel a little crazy, hyper so I quit that, haha. But yo, how awesome would it be to move into a new apartment only to find there is a big stash of Capri-Sun in the fridge?


Evolution Blog Update
I am in the midst of setting up the official Evolution blog. The domain is already in place, I just need to set up the layout. I will probably migrate from this blog to there for the next few months. It will be where I will post daily updates, videos, photos regarding the Bboyworld event, Evolution, coming to Atlanta in December. The full Strife.tv crew will be there, being our usual crazy selves and covering the event to the fullest! Anyways, I will post up the blog link when I am finished with the layout.


update:
Just got off the phone with Hong10, and he's agreed to battle Crumbs at Evolution.
Hot sauce! That's what I like to hear!


Hip Hop Song of the Day:
Dan, what song did your Bboyworld avatar come from?
Well, here it is

Atmosphere - Trying To Find A Balance

Younha's my favorite Korean singer.

I am in the process of moving out of my apartment. My housing ends tomorrow, thus I am moving to Aaron's for the next few weeks. Right now, I am in the process of gathering all the unnecessary stuff in my room and throwing it out, such as my foot massager, my bug zapper, my push-up handles, and my homicidal hedgehog. I move around so much, from Africa to Alaska to Korea, and I buy a lot of unnecessary crap. I should stop doing that because all I do is throw it away at the end.


Since I don't have anything worth interesting to write about, check out Strife.tv's youtube page.

Loan, Erich, and Ari have been working at it recently in California.

After the Nama tribute jam on Saturday, Lee & I went out with our friends Last4One to help publicize the upcoming premiere of their film, Planet B-boy. After having a dinner of squid & rice, we went out to the busy part of Hongdae area and passed out flyers, post-its, and even tissues.

Zero9 was on a roll that entire night, giving out flyers left & right. Taiyo, on the other hand, had a frustrating time. He was like, "uh...I don't like being denied!"

Planet B-Boy comes out in every Korean movie theater this Thursday, October 15.

not sure why it is premiering so late in Korea

After practice last night, we went out to eat some samgyeopsal (삼겹살).

We usually practice from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, and by that time...your stomach starts to feel it! Sometimes we go out to eat, sometimes we go our separate ways. The dilemma is that the subway closes at 12:30 am, thus one has to make a critical decision on whether to stay, eat & drink, or leave quickly to grab the subway back home. But this past Friday, we didn't really care because we had plans to be out all night anyways.

By the way, I would like to acknowledge that I haven't cut my hair for 2 1/2 months, which is a new record.




Last night went something like this:
--practice at T.I.P. studio
--samgyeopsal dinner
--hanging out at Virus's lounge
--visiting the Han river
--playing video games, shooting zombies, air hockey and other stupid things at Sincheon
--crashing out at Virus's crib




Alright, so Virus is like the bboy with the most business sense in Korea. Not only is he a famous bboy, but he also owns three lounges. Trois! 삼! 三！Three! The place near the T.I.P. studio is called Led. It is super posh, with various private rooms and lots of cool led lights. There is a general dance floor in the middle, and according to Virus, T.I.P. sometimes practice their showcases there, just so they can see the crowd's reaction to certain moves. Smart thinking actually....




I want everyone to check out the video above. Dyzee and I arrived at Virus's pad at 5:30 am, and were blown away by the amount of clothes he had. He turned his living room into a closet! He wasn't joking when he said, "My place is messy, there is no place to sleep in the living room." We were both a little tipsy from soju drinking by that time, but we decided it was necessary to make a Bboy Cribs episode of Virus's pad. Apparently we were the first ever non-Koreans in his apartment. We felt so honored!

"If you want to know how to keep fresh, you need to turn your whole entire house into a closet."
--Dyzee

Virus also gave me a birthday present.
He gave me clothes, haha...what else?

Differ - Dyzee - Me

For people that did not know, T.I.P. crew is sponsored by a coffee flavored ice cream. You can find their ice cream at virtually any convenience store in Korea. They cost about $1 dollar each. However, I feel like an idiot buying it because I eat it for free each time i come to practice...like tonight! When guests come to their studio, Virus sometimes is like, "Hi, can i get you something? Coffee? Ice Cream?"





The refrigerator is refilled almost daily. It's not a bad tasting ice cream, although it'd be dope to have more flavors than coffee. I was joking to Differ, "So you guys got coffee and ice cream, now all y'all need is a donut sponsor and it'd be perfect."

For those that come to the annual T.I.P. event, Monster Jam, they give out an endless supply of this to the audience for free. So in other words, come out to the next Monster Jam next year! Buy your plane ticket to Korea and you'll be guaranteed free coffee ice cream.




Today is also Loan's birthday.
Me, Frog, Virus, and Differ made her a shoutout.

By the way, check out Loan's shopping video at Little Tokyo in LA.

October 6th was my birthday. I was out at T.I.P. studio training when Oh-Kyung and Dyzee's wife Janice waltzed into the studio with a birthday cake and candles. It was great! Blueberry cake, Mmm. I was really touched. And then one of my former English students, a 12 yr old girl, sent me a super early birthday text. How did she even know it was my bday?!?! Not like I advertised it. Sooo cute.

And thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday! On Facebook. Over the phone. And in person. 감사합니다!

Dyzee's staying in Korea for the new few months, thus why you see me include him in a lot of my posts these days.



After practice, which lasted from 6 pm to 11 pm, we all left for Hongdae, where we met up with other Supernaturalz dancers, as well as Floor Gangz and Lee. Puzzles and I had this great idea of getting bboy McNasty drunk on camera and to recite his memorable introduction line on video.

His introduction line goes something like this:
"Yo! I'm Mike McNasty, from Supernaturalz. You may have never heard about me but yo...we got Dyzee and Puzzles and they can smoke yo ass."

So pretty much, it's like, "you don't know me...but ____ and ____ from Supernatz can roast you". haha...ah, it's hella funny. I'm glad Mike's such a good sport, too.

We all stayed up waaaay past our normal drinking hours. Since it was my birthday, I didn't really care when I'd arrive back home. Thus, I ended up in my room at around 9 am in the morning.



Travel News Update:
For winter, I plan to go to the United States in November. So in early November, I will be in the California Bay Area as well as LA. I plan to attend Claws Out in LA. Also, come early December, I'll be heading out to Atlanta for Evolution. I'll be working there. I got a lot of great ideas for that event. It's my goal to change the communication system of these big bboy events; like, make it better. Not to give out all of my ideas, but one of the things I will be doing is listed below.


Bboyworld Evolution Update:
I was talking with Erwin today and we're going to be setting up an official Evolution blog. It will cover the months leading up to the event, as well as during the event, and post coverage. It's gonna be dope! You'll get to see updates of the crews preparing for the event, as well as interviews and other random fun stuff I like to do with videos. With my networks, it is my goal to get content from Korea, Hong Kong, as well as various locations around the United States. I'll post the official Evolution blog link later when we get it up and running.


Breakbeat of the Day:

Lighthouse - One Fine Morning

I edited up the new trailer to Circle Prinz: KOREA '09 last night. I posted up the two versions above so I could see which quality is better: Youtube or Vimeo?

In this video, I tried showing off a different style. The fast cuts, flashes, radial blurs, and glows gave the video an intense, emotion filled atmosphere. And since it was Circle Prinz, I thought black & white would suit the arena better. And as always, the music and dancing was on beat! (I am very picky about that part) But no matter how different the video style, I still liked to put bits of my humor/fun side in it. Thus, you got the opening scene, as well as the ending bonus footage. I can't believe someone on Bboyworld thought the ending was not my idea. If they only knew my crazy ideas...haha. Again, the theme of my video (as well as many others) was "wish you were here". Another way to phrase it would be, "I want to make you so damn jealous that you need to buy a plane ticket right now and fly here!." Haha. Or at least in Circle Prinz's case, people can just buy the DVD when it comes out in a few months.

Frog originally wanted to kick Lee, but discovered he couldn't get his leg high enough for the camera. hahaha. And the "Sorry, Sorry" dance with Ynot came from my Ynot interview article, which will be released in a few days.

Matthew had a memorable quote from the night, "Yo, that jam was bananas!" Bananas! That goes into my favorite Strife.tv quote section, along with "F*ck Daniel" by Born, and "You're using legs!" by Top9.


Breakbeat of the Day:
this is on repeat on my PSP

The Quantic Soul Orchestra - Walking Through Tomorrow

My friend, bboy Blanka, from Floor Gangz wanted me to upload all of his battles from Circle Prinz online.
So, go to this super Bboyworld thread and check it out!

For me, watching Floor Gangz dance at Circle Prinz was really inspiring. It was like they had one mission and that was to dance to the music each and every round. I could see both Blanka and Tinoroc were freestyling to the beat for most of the rounds, which made it even more inspiring. In this era of competitive dancing, where many bboys/bgirls have laid out "sets", watching these guys change their dance with each song was...a breath of fresh air, especially in the Korea scene.


But yeah, I just got back from hours of practice with Last4One. Happy mid-Autumn Festival, by the way! I'm gonna go take a shower and then work on stuff.

My plans for the rest of the week:
--edit Circle Prinz recap
--edit Ynot interview
--edit Floor Gangz interview
--film & edit Born's Hip Hop School

I got so many video ideas, it is almost endless.
But we'll see if I have the time to carry them out!

Just threw together this video few hours ago. If anything, people should watch the last half of the video, after 3:32. We were having a drunken, post-event cypher outside that consisted of "no hands" and even "no legs." Haha! You could hear the Top9 & Eastside guys in the cypher; so hilarious! Roxrite was dancing, and even after drinking, he doesn't crash when he dances. He's not real.

Then the last fourth of the video consisted of me showing Renegades around Seoul: the fun arcade games as well as Dongdaemun.

I just finished editing Day 3 & 4 of my R16 Korea series. Lots of fun stuff in the video. I hope people like the videos these few days. I've been quite lazy in the editing section, in that...I would just throw a bunch of random clips I find interesting and just leave it at that. No quick cuts, special effects, and sometimes the music may be on beat, haha. I should really do a flashy trailer sometime, just to show off.

The Street Fighter competition never happened because the guys went to the R16 Hip Hop Performance instead. Next time!


Circle Prinz| KOREA - 2vs2
Finals was Seven Commandos vs Floor Gangz.
Differ/Hong10 vs TinoRoc/Blanka.

It was so hype! On one side was the TIP/Jinjo/Drifterz posse, and on the other side was the Rivers/MaxCrew posse. When the DJ, Skeme Richards threw down the first track, the atmosphere resembled the final minutes of a NCAA Final Four game; just intense! But yeah, Differ & Hong10 won, and will be heading to the finals in Switzerland later this year. I got highlights and interviews of that event; it'll be up in a day or two.

other highlights:
--interviewing YNot and having Nemo (TIP) teach him the Sorry, Sorry dance on camera
--Katsu poking his big head in my camera at the most awkward moments when I was trying to film, haha
--my boy Blanka got my vote for best dancer of the night, Brazilian samba style baby!
--Frog battling with Vegarawk
--interviewing DJ Skeme Richards outside
--sneaking a broke, penniless, and shoeless Pocket into the venue (blame it on Wicket)
--celebrating Dyzee's 30th birthday! He will be living in Seoul for the next 6 months with his wife.

The Third Degree - Mercy

Took the Renegades guys for a night out in Seoul last night. Went to Dongdaemun for 2 am street shopping specials, and then to Hongdae to check out club NB.

Highlights include:
Finesse sliding around in Dongdaemun, offering random people Mento's, haha!
Iron Monkey getting called out on the street by a random ass gymnastics person.
Coming home at 7:30 am, just in time for the breakfast buffet to open.
Finesse getting kissed on the cheek by some random Korean ajjussi on the subway.
Kid David & Miles doing a drunk cypher on the subway train.
Max from Momentum crew eating live/cooked worms at some restaurant.
Waking up at 12 the day of, and having Monkey hand you a bottle of Soju as your breakfast.

I'd like to write more, but hotel check-out time in coming soon, and I gotta get my ass into Seoul to meet up for Circle Prinz.
