Access 2007 Invite

Access 2007 will be held at Modern School, Barakhamba Road on 18-19 December 2007. Generally happens to be the event where the younglings of the club take over the reigns from the oldies, but since Lord Vader is preoccupied in the construction of Death Star version 2.0, I had to shun thoughts of retirement and go along. Access is always an event where kiddos get exposure for the first time, being an open event as far as the number of teams that can be sent.

The Access site isn’t much to speak of – it STILL says ‘Modern School presents Access 2005’, so you can understand how updated it is; plus they haven’t made available all the rules in an easy download. You can do so here by downloading the Access 2007 Invite kit.

Speaking of the Code Warriors, I am very concerned about Lord Vader. It seems he’s totally turned over to the Dork Side of the Force… 🙁

Renegades of Funk…

Lord Vader and his young apprentice Lereze have been going gaga over the past few weeks over Hisham Abbas’ Nari Nari (rejoice, Lord Vader, I linked to the vidddeo!), for reasons not yet clear to anyone on the Code Warriors team. I for one have been listening to Rage Against The Machine’s Renegades of Funk continuously – as in every minute, as in without a gap – on loop for the past two days.

Well, RATM has been one of my favourite bands for quite some time, and that song has been one of my faves too. But I recently sat down to write about our win at Exun 2007, and I just couldn’t stop myself from listening to it. Anyway, at one point even I’d thought of an RATM song for the Code Wars 2007 video, but since the Exun 2007 video had it, and they’d used RATM earlier too in their 2005 vid, we dropped the idea. Can’t have enough of the song though, watch its video below…

I might add here, that this music video was made around the time RATM broke up (boohoo!), which is why it consists of stock footage of renegades from around the world.
