as for this year, there were more offputting than heartening moments. and the totally awesome heartstopping moments were rather lacking in number. 2 of those moments would have been in qingdao... a laser standard in 20 knots and swell, and getting signatures from some famous figures. actually, collecting a sheet of paper which read '40 points' was pretty awesome, and as long ago as that may seem, it still counts as 2008.

then there was mono playing halcyon (beautiful days), victor wooten's looping solo, marcus' sax and stanley's double bass solos.

i still remember 2007's heartstopping moment.

ok let's move out. juno tomorrow, swan river the day after.
