East Bay Rats Full-Contact Fighting Event

[cerebus]

So, it's finally here. The East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club's annual Full-Contact Fighting event. Sounds like it's gonna be big this year, with 2 boxing rings and a mixed martial arts ring, together with music and other stuff going on. I'll be there putting my Tai Chi training to the test (possibly getting my butt kicked). Any of you mooks gonna come give me some moral support?

Oh, and it's on Saturday, at around 7 pm.

Fucking awesome man! Good luck to you. You have my respect just for stepping into that ring.

[cerebus]

Thanks bro. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll have some peeps with cameras to video my fight. We'll see...

does this mean you'll be too sore to be at the park on sunday?

Oh NOW suddenly he can make it to the park! Hey, you gonna come watch me fight? The tires still haven't arrived for my bike, so I still don't have transportation to get to the park, though I'd probably be down for it otherwise...

[fuga]

I am probably in charge of the kid that night so very doubtful. That soapbox derby looks like it would have been fun!

[cerebus]

Hm. It's looking like I'm gonna be all alone in this thing. I was hopin' SOMEONE might be able to come and offer some support to a Kung Fu bro. Anyone?

[neijia_boxer]

good luck- i hope you have a corner person

[cerebus]

Well, I've been calling around and it looks like no one's coming to my fight. Just my instructor, who'll be cornering for me. That means no cameraman, so no video, so it looks like I won't be able to show you guys anything after the fight. Too bad, I was hoping to at least have someone to video the match...

[shawnsegler]

Weak. I'd love to have seen some vid.

Can't you give one of your womens a little extra loving so she's all excited to follow you around and be camera girl?

Best,

S

LOL! Dude, the last time I brought a girlfriend to one of these events she saw the first 3 brutal and VERY bloody matches and was like "UH UH! No way! You are NOT getting in there!" and started to have a panic attack until I agreed to take her home immediately. But I've found someone to video, so it looks like I may end up with something to share afterall.

As I may have alluded to last time I can't say I'm that comfortable hanging out at a biker brawl event. I'll be at a xingyi workshop this weekend too. Best of luck in the fight!!!

[cerebus]

Thanks!

SOOOOO.... This is what I'll be wading into the middle of tonight, chaos, mayhem and ass-whoopin....(this one's from 2005)

I'll let ya'll know if I survive...

[cerebus]

So very, very disappointing. After all the prep and build-up we arrive to find that the cops had shut the event down. I'm very unhappy...
