suprise, i have a ticket to go to the Dama Fest,

Super stoked,
everything is setup and i´m ready to go.
this is a dream that come true, (second one this year after munish)

the smile on my face is so big, that i'm flossing my teeth from the back of my head.
 

[The Void]

Jealous!
Have a great time, Alex!

[Mirek]

What is your next dream Alex? 

[KendAlex]

Thanks The Void, i guess i step into a dream when i get out of the plane and it ends when i'm back home again.
so unreal.

@ Mirek, next big ''dream'' is the EJC 2012 to see all the players again from the EJC 2011.
and ofcourse to go for a next Dan rating.
And if it is possible i like to go to the Kengarden to meet all the west coast kendama players.
but i think the biggest dream is to get a Dan in front of the JKA in Japan, and to be there to see a real high level JKA battle of the members of the JKA.
and to meet all the people.

[Peter]

we have a lot of dreams in common....

Enjoy your time at Dama Fest!

[KendAlex]

Thanks Peter

Ughh I want to go soo bad... I used to say that the airfare was too pricy for me to justify it for one weekend, but I'm sure the airfare is probably even more for you haha. I'll need a new excuse now :p

[KendAlex]

Yeah the trip is expansive, but lucky for Mr. Sunrise is making it easy for me to go,
 :)

Very jealous. The question is how many and which kendamas are you taking?
I don't imagine they'll let that aluminium one in the carry-on luggage!

[KendAlex]

oke let me think
-1 PAW 3 spike kendama
-5 Custom kendamas (3 of them are gifts)
-3 Bilboquets (1 of them is a semi gift)
-1 Mugen kendama
-3 Oozora kendamas
-1 custom KendAlex Taiyo kendama
-4 Performer kendamas, (2 of them are new, to let it sign by almost all players, if there is space enough)
-1 emperor kendama
-1 KendAlex Custom Junior kendama
-2 aluminium kendamas (one is a gift)
and 1 blue sky mugen goes in my carry-on luggage
this should about it, haha.
i think i take at least 5 new kendamas back and i hope some T-shirts.
and a lot of pictures

[KendAlex]

Today i've got home from teh dama fest,
This was the second great kendama meeting in my life.

To meet all the pro's and the Amerikan kendama players was awesome,
i hope to finish a story within two weeks, but it will be done.

I upload a few pictures on my facebook,
