Hey all,
Sorry for the extremeeeely late update; just thought I should go over Saturday afternoon’s event, Cypher of Fortune, put on by WU Cypher, Wash U’s premier bboy/bgirl club. The event ran from 4-8pm and the action was non-stop! Big ups to bboy C-rex for the dope never-before battle format: Mario Party! For those of you that weren’t there, the jam was a 2v2 tournament that was randomized; not only were dancers dependent on fate to pick their partners but they also had to spin a roulette entailing some crazy rules including “no hands,” “switch shoes with opponent” and the infamous “pokemon move”. Those that embraced the rules the best won stars, which were counted up at the end; whoever had the most won a special prize separate from the $400 1st place prize.
Congrats to bboy Monki (Boogie Munstars, KCMO) and bboy Dent (Beatsick Misfits, IN) for taking the top prize (Dent also got the most stars!). Special thanks to DJ Needles for spinning as well as bboy Freedom (ENI Squadron) for judging. Props to all the bboys/bgirls that came out to rep as well as support Operation Food Search. We hope you all enjoyed the jam and look forward to next year’s event!
