While I was out and about a long time ago, I met a photographer named Marvin and later he added me on Facebook and sent out Facebook invites to this event called Capture the Movement which is (text taken from the event invite) an event to help raise money for R.O.O.T.S. Ministry (http://www.rootsinfo.org/), a young adults homeless shelter in the UW area that serves to men & women 18-25.  It's an art exhibit, has live performances, and 1 vs 1 bboy battle.  Art exhibit and bboy battle?!  What can get better than that??  So I went!  I brought along Caroline because she had nothing else better to do and Jake since he's a bboy and goes to this kind of stuff.

Going to this brought back memories of high school and early college days when almost everything I drew and animated were of bboys.. like so:


I can't find a bigger version of this... but I drew this in 2002-2003

This might be because of Jake since he used to be a bboy and probably also from my sister since she's friends with Massive Monkees. Bboys are the coolest boys ever!!  I think I stopped paying attention to them because of old age and work.  Sigh.  So old

It took us MANY attempts to try to get to Q Cafe.  We saw where it was, but just couldn't get to the street...



After much struggling, yay here we are!  Photo by Caroline.



Before it began.. setting up.


Me and Caroline.  Jake didn't want to be in the picture because he's so mysterious.  Why did I take a picture with my phone when I have a real camera? XD


I pulled out my phone and found free wi-fi YEAH!  Photo by Jake.



More people have emerged.


YES stuff is starting to happen!






Chase was here! He's the only other person I know from my high school that's in the game industry now yay! I didn't know he knew the random photographer I met out on the streets. Small world!




Talking and welcoming and introducing.



Lion's Ambition:































RNG





The judges - Cha Cha (AOM/Flava Squad), Tim Chips (Fraggle Rock), and Rybonix (20th Century Boyz/Misguided Steps).  I uploaded this to my Facebook so the quality isn't so great.

....AND SO THE BATTLE BEGINS.  I mostly took videos but I'm too lazy to upload them all plus I don't have a youtube account.  So you can just look at the pictures!  I only uploaded the videos I have of Chase since I know him, so too bad!



































Here I am enjoying the battle.  Photo by Jake.  His photo is the best one of the night!  I gave him my camera because my arms were hurting.











So the battle is over and Thesis won.  No surprise there since he's so godly!  I didn't get the last round on video because my battery was dying boooo but enjoy this one instead:


Sorry the video hiccuped near the end.  My finger slipped and I accidentally took pictures in the middle of recording lol

I was starving and wanted some waffles so we headed to Oasis to satisfy my craving.


mmmmm waffles, ice cream and fruit


Caroline got sweet potato fries o_O?  And since Jake has an eating disorder, all he got was a slush psssh.  This was a good way to end the night.  FOOD ;D

I was handed like four on those fliers for the NW Sweet 16 the next weekend so I thought why not!  Next post will be pictures from that... which will probably be in another week since I'm slow teeeeeheeeee~
