[Aikido] DC Fight Update

[John Nguyen]

Hi again,

So, I've talked to the DC building manager, and it looks like we have a more concrete time window now.

The filming will begin on Sunday MORNING at either 7 or 8 AM (depending on when you all can drag yourselves out of bed), and we need to be out of the DC by 10 AM. We have the go-ahead for using mats and wooden swords.

UNFORTUNATELY, it appears that Media Resources is out of cameras for the moment. I'm going to check back in later to see if one has found its way back, but for now, I need any of you who have access to a video camera to let me know, and to try to get your hands on it. Ask your friends, and see what you can do. I'll be doing the same.

Now, Emily has offered to open up Saturday practice for the choreography for the film, which would be kickass, because we're guaranteed to have it down when we actually walk into the dc, so we can look less like bumbling idiots, and more like the kickass martial artists we all actually are.

It's also come to my attention that not all of the members are on the mailing list, so I'm going to resend this and the first message on Facebook, so don't get exasperated when I do.

Hope to see you all soon at the party tonight!

Sincerely,
John Nguyen
President Elect

Objet: [Aikido] DC FIGHT TIME! AIKIDO ASSEMBLE!

Hey all!

So, you all are now bearing witness to an historic event: My first email to you all as President(Elect)!

So now, down to business. Since we only have about five days left until the academic year ends, I am absolutely determined to achieve the goal which we have been talking about during practice since the beginning to the year: The video of a staged fight in the DC! For purposes of recruitment and awesomeness and whatnot.

I know that this is really short notice, but if we're going to pull this off, I need a team effort. Everyone who is available for either Saturday or Sunday afternoon (sometime, times are flexible), please reply to this email AND SEND ME A TEXT OR CALL ASAP! I can be called at (603)718-0472. EVEN IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, TEXT ME AND LET ME KNOW. Ask your friends as well! We need extras, or even demo-monkeys if they're comfortable about it.

I want to do some short practice of the choreography before we barge into the DC/walk in nicely because I'll have talked to them beforehand. If you have any suggestions about what you want to see, let me know! I already know that swords will be involved!

I repeat again, REPLY TO ME WHETHER YOU CAN DO IT OR NOT, AND WHEN YOU CAN DO IT.

Thanks so much,
John Nguyen
President Elect
