I have to say i was disappointed that i could not have my BBQ but i think the weekend could not have gone better.

My day started with a slightly lazy morning with no rush.(a rare occurrence) Beckaroo and I had a quick bite to eat and then headed out to Pulp comics for free comic book day. While there i got a limited edition Hon Kong Phooey statue at a wicked price. Not only that we got the Free comic Book day Thor Heroclick for my son and a bunch of cool arse comics including Atomic robot and Mouse guard.

Once we left there we grabbed a coffee and headed home to prepare for my seminar. What seminar you might ask?

We'll me in my blissful ignorance signed up for a Kung Fu seminar that was taught by Grand Master Phillipman Chow. Little did i Know when i signed up for this how groovy and awesome an opportunity this would be. He is the president of the canadian Kung Fu association and the vice President of the North American Kung FU association. Not to mention he's an eighth generation Grand Master. It like being trained by Gracie if your into MMA.

I started my first week of training just before all of this and according to the class i am doing very well. we are attributing it to my hammer throwing training from years past.(foot work related.)

During this class they use my Camera to take all sorts of video and pictures. But alas in order for you to see them you'll have to check out Niagara Kung Fu Academy's Facebook page when we get them up.

What did they teach? I got to learn a 3rd chamber form called Mantis Vs Mantis, Male vs Female. It was awesome! i was able to learn the whole routine and have it matched up with the female counterpart! It was so cool get wailed on and wail on guys that were like stone! The two guys that Came with Master Chow were great and it was full contact blocking and striking. My arms are all bruised but i could not be happier for the experience. I learned tons and had a great time.

After the class we ate sushi and relaxed a bit with Master chow. How cool a day that is.

But it's not over yet.

While reviewing the video and pictures i notice our camera has developed a hot pixel. Crappy but it is under warrenty so we took it to the shop and sent it off. Beckaroo and I had some time to kill so we headed over to That's entertainment. And what did i find? A box set of Marx brothers films! total score! along with a copy of District 9.

Had me some fried chicken and then Picked up the kids. Later that night  Ledgema and  Skyryd3r stopped by for a visit and we had a grand time chatting.

Groovy day.
