I survived. Morning class is always a special challenge. Two questions (in the order of less to greater importance):

(1) What is the best method of surviving really fast frappes?

(a) attempting the actual combination
(b) frappe'ing the hell out of your leg and trusting in the God of Probability that your leg will strike on most of the right counts
(c) creating your own frappe combination. Get creative. Use the music. Be sure to add some doubles here and there, and repeat on releve.

Today, I used a combination of (b) and (c). And (a).

(2) Where is Kip's Rosin Box?

It looks a lot like the one on 20th & Sansom St. (that's "street" not "saint") except a lot smaller and there are no ballet shoes inside it, nor leotards, nor nice folks named Len and Jen. Only rosin. If anyone is aware of the location of Kip's Rosin Box, please re-locate it to 1923 Chestnut St. ("street"), 3rd floor. Please Ring For Symmetry.
