Bboy Competition = Lonely Girlfriend Week
September 1st 2007 11:00
That's right, because Shadow Wars, the biggest Bboy (breakdancing) competition in Australia this year, is on tomorrow; that means it's been a lonely week and an even lonelier Saturday night for a bboy's girlfriend.
Kinda feels like the single life, not having any intimate plans on a Saturday night, thinking about where to go with the girls or other guy friends who aren't bboys, but realising you're over clubbing anyway (and only at 22 years old) because you don't recognise or like the music being played at the clubs you used to frequent. And the fact there are so many teenyboppers.
Shadow Wars should be an awesome event though, with four international guest judges (a real treat for us) which was preceded with free workshops earlier today and hopefully followed by a jam session/after party (usually not the case, most bboys get too tired and would rather sleep).
After dating a bboy for a while, you get used to the late night training sessions, the random gigs and practices leading up to them, competition mode where you have to understand that they have to ignore you until the winners are announced, so that they don't get distracted. It's just like dating any kinda athlete/sports person I guess, except these guys also have regular non-related jobs to sustain them in a country where Hip Hop and bboys are the minority.
It all pays off in the end though, and you get to tell people that you're going out with one of the best bboys in the country...
