Congratulations to Milwaukee-based Motion Disorderz for taking home the $800 prize at the Durte Tactixs bboy battle on Saturday. The neo-punk Ground Syndrome crew out of Chicago came in second. About 100 people came out to watch ten crews go at it on the dance floor. Props to Skytlez for throwing his first jam in St. Louis and to Friedens Church for having the faith to try something new.

If you couldn't make the event this time, don't miss the next one! If you think you have something better to do...you don't. You don't have to have a pair of Roos, one Adidas wristband, or even be able to dance to enjoy these hipster battles. The most fun Kathy and I have had in a long time and we look forward to the next event.
Thanks Brian and Amanda for bringing a focus to the Friedens Church and the sometimes forgotten North side. See you soon.

We're all too old to have had even a clue about what a bboy is. Now we're plugged in and hipped up. You'all come back now ya hear. Great space with a stage and kitchen huh? Coffee and donuts? Red Bull and Cheetos? We're flexible.
