Welcome back
Bonjorno, como estas?
Today I am starting up the 2. half of my internship with GAME Denmark. As I mentioned, I did 6 weeks before summer holiday, and I will do 6 weeks after.
On a sidenote, summer was great! I went to Canada with the guys from my team, and we had a hell of a trip. It was almost too good. So good that I didn’t manage to catch up with my delayed blog posts! I was hoping to get that done over the summer, so I could start up fresh with a weekly blog post for the 2. internship part...
But as we say in Denmark, don’t cry over spilled milk my friends!
- Actually; you might as well make that milk work in your favour. Use it as motivation. ‘Cus what happens when you clean milk off a floor? I will tell you. You don’t just clean the milk off the floor. You also clean the floor, the milk has landed on. Really, it is almost impossible not to end up with a floor that is cleaner and more shiny than it was before the milk landed on it.
- So that will be my focus. The future of the floor. The future of this blog. The milk is on the floor, but it is getting cleaned up. And hopefully the result will be spotless. You will have to wait and see... We all will. Intense
My promise is... I have a few promises... One is that I will update this blog weekly from now on. Real time, when possible. At least on the execution dates on the various events I will be a part of. Another promise I make today is that I will do at least one beautiful post about everything I did in the first half of my internship. On top of that I will make a few post with pictures and videos about what happened in that time. It was truly 6 great weeks, and I wouldn’t want to cheat you from sneaking a peak on the experience!
Now, for the rest of this post... The actual content for today. I want to tell you a little about what I will be doing for the next 6 weeks. Here goes nothing:
Game Street Party in Frederiksberg!
I will join in the planning of Game’s annual streetparty. The streetparty will be held on friday/saturday the 18. and 19. of August.
In short, the streetparty is a 2 day event where all the different sports of Game will be represented (street basketball, street soccer, parkour, dancing, etc.). The sports will be accompanied by some of the biggest names in danish hip hop music. It’s a big event, and it should be fun to take part in both the planning and execution of it. If you are interested in joining or learning more about it, here is the Facebook-event for the days: https://www.facebook.com/events/809844495855499/?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A%224%22%2C%22feed_story_type%22%3A%22308%22%2C%22action_history%22%3A%22null%22%7D
Game Finals!
Game Finals is Game’s biggest event of the year. Last year more than 2000 people participated in the event in one way or the other!
The main setup of the event is that it is a basketball and football tournament. The football tournament is by normal sign up, and the prices are similar to those you can win at our monthly Friday Jam Tournaments. The basketball tournament however is the Official Danish Championship in Streetbasketball. The prize for the winning team is 10.000DKK, and the tournament draws in some very strong teams. The idea is that teams can qualify for the tournament on the Street Games that I helped set up in the 1. part of my internship. There are a range of different levels in both of the tournaments, and the biggest prizes are in the senior tournaments.
The planning of Game Finals will intensify once we are done with the Street Party in a few weeks. Oh and here is the facebook event for the Game Finals, should you be interested in learning more: https://www.facebook.com/events/1842405849348385/
I will make sure to upload some live feeds from both events, to help you feel the vibe and see how things are going down :)
Now to finish this post, and as a teaser for the next one, I will show you a picture of the crew I worked with on the Street Game Tour before my summer holiday!. (In reality I will post it afterwards, beacuse my tumblr abilities do not suffice to adding a picture to a post - what can you do)
Have a good one. KH Asger
