My last outdoor sports event

I say my last "outdoor" sports event, since I'm uploading this Saturday morning, just before I leave to go cheer for my school's gymnastics team in Hamada, Shimane. That event will be in a gym, which is good, since it's been pouring rain these past few days.

The gymnastics kentaikai will be my last cheering opportunity before I leave Japan next Thursday, but that's cool, since the Taiso bu is one of my favorite clubs - the kids and coach are awesome people.

Hope you enjoy your weekend. This is my last day of fun - I also have a teacher party tonight - and then it's down to serious packing and cleaning on Sunday and Monday.

Cheers,
Jason

Hi I noticed you are wearing a comic-con t-shirt, did you happen to wear it on one of the days that Comic-Con was going on in San Diego or was this video posted on a later date than it was filmed? Just curious, I have really enjoyed watching your videos :D

I wear my Con t-shirts all the time - but I didn't even know it was synching up with the current Con. Did you go this year? What was the design for the 2009 official shirt?

Jim Lee drawing of Superman - I think it was the 2004 shirt - my last Con before I left for Japan

I know! It was the ONE nice day amongst a sea of rainy days

[myargonauts]

yeah - you have to be careful nowadays, especially if you have a popular channel like I do...

I can't imagine any BoE discouraging their JETs from supporting their students at events - my teachers and students always appreciate me using my own free time to cheer them on.
