marimari memorial cup viii (2015/08/08 9:30 PM EST)

[daigong]

On July 30th we pour a little liquor for our homie marimari  aka Kyle Bouvier. Time sure flies - nine years ago that afternoon when we heard the news...

His selfless acts and being an extremely positive nice guy, doesn't even begin to describe what he meant to us. One of the greatest has ever seen. Check out the Classic Threads Museum for a taste of his impact. Kyle had contributed so much to the Hello! Project fandom by sharing many materials at all the sites. He was a regular in the IRC and took part in online games like Pangya. When we learned that throughout his life, he was confined to a wheelchair due to muscular dystrophy, it made us respect him even more. To overcome those odds, to be with us HiPsters.

Words cannot describe what he meant to the H!P Fandom. The ultimate Risa fanboy. LOOK at his Reina sig, animated dancin! from his last.fm account: http://www.last.fm/user/marimariRisa%20%3C3


In honour his memory we play the game marimari loved so much, something we call:

Always fun to play in it 

I'm in again

[J-Triumf]

Unfortunately I'll have to sit this one out again. I'm still having computer issues, plus I'll be covering J-Pop Summit for JPH!P that weekend anyway. I'll definitely keep y'all in mind while I'm out there, though! Good luck and have fun!

After Daigong crashed twice trying to load the game, it was a duel between Kuro and me
I was behind 2 strokes going into the 13th, where I was lucky enough to make up the difference.
The 15th sealed it when I nailed a trick shot for an Albatross and the 3 stroke lead.
Kuro put up a heck of a match!

Final scores:



This event always makes me proud to be a member of this community that marimari loved so much.
While I didn't know him that well, I feel it really says a lot about JPHiP that we still honor his memory like this.

FANTASTIC! Thanks Slack Kuro for playing and all who give it up and are listening to the radio show right now.  Hard to imagine, but man we keep on striving cant stop wont stop moving it's these messages we can give to future generations of JPHiPstaz that lets em know who we be.



and Make-a-wish was marimari's family charity of choice and makes things brighter for kids around the world. We'll DONATE in his honor!
