How cool is it that three days after the fpa worlds is over one can already see many of the winning routines on facebook or youtube.  When I was learning to jam, i would wait months to get my hands on a copy of a discovering the world catalogue that included tournament results and maybe a short write up and a picture or two (now what exactly is Jim Schmall's hand placement in relation to his leg there?). Now i get upset if the video feed is slow or jumpy or if the dude filming spaced for a second.

Also the worlds were in Praha! I went to worlds events in Florida, Seattle, San Diego, Santa Cruz, NYC, Ft. Collins.  These places are nice, but Praha is WORLDLY.  Gambrinus!

The combined age of the winners of Open appears to be 48.  My combined age also appears to be 48.  I used to think that to win an event you had to be at least 48.  The wheel is turning.

Congrats to Marco, Claudio, Lisa, Mary, Randy, Dave and Matt!
