Well, I think I was at like a special event and like all the JabbaWockeeZ were there ... buht I got to hangout with Eddie most of the time :] Like we talked and stuff, I caught glimpses of the other Jabbas buht I stayed with Eddie LOL [brings back memories to NKOTB tour haha] And I remember I was talking to Eddie about how I got to have Saso's things because of the moving sale ... and I kept telling him that I wished I could send their scent (from the shirt) to the people in JabbaFamx3OG. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SO FREAKING WEIRD. And Eddie was like "Yea yooh can! There's something that actually does that now, all yooh gotta do it put this usb near the scent and then put into the computer and then yooh can send it to people" LOLLLLLLLLLLL SUCH A WEIRD DREAM HAHAHAHAHH. That's pretty much what I remember from the dream x] It was so weird HAHAHH, buht it was amazing :D

Philippine Daily Inquirer Interviews the JabbaWockeeZ
Pinoy Jabbawockeez!
By Pocholo Concepcion
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 02:14:00 09/06/2009
There’s the homegrown Philippine All Stars, which beat 27 countries to win the 2006 and 2008 World Hip Hop Championships. And then there’s the California-based Jabbawockeez, currently a 10-man group—four of whom are Pinoys—which took the grand prize last year in the inaugural season of the MTV show “America’s Best Dance Crew.”
Jabbawockeez, which took its name from the playful, unconventional Lewis Carroll poem “Jabberwocky,” is in town for a series of Ayala Mall shows, with guests DJ Rashida and Billy Crawford. The last one is tonight, 6 p.m. at Glorietta 4.
Formed in 2003, the group started by competing at local club events in San Diego and LA. It originally had eight members led by Gary Kendall, an American who died just before Jabbawockeez joined “ABDC.” His death spurred the rest—Rynan Paguio, Chris Gatdula, Phil Tayag, Joe Larot (Philippines), Ben Chung (Korea), Jeff Nguyen (Vietnam) and Kevin Brewer (United States) to aim higher.
The Pinoys, happy to be home, sat down for a short chat with the Inquirer:
Did anyone of you attend formal dance school?
Rynan: Most of us just practiced in the garage with friends. We just laid out the linoleum, pretty much like breakdancing … In time we developed a technique. When hip hop started evolving and dance studios began to hire hip hop instructors, we ended up teaching … We adapted what jazz teachers did in their counting …
Is there a leader, or how does the creative process work for the group?
Rainen: There’s no leader … it’s like a potluck where everybody brings in their share …
Phil: It’s like sinigang … or sisig …
Kevin: We collectively put stuff in … as choreographers, the music is the root of it … it sets the mood, tempo and feel of it … If the instrumental is upbeat, then of course our moves will reflect that mood …
Who thought of incorporating mime, kabuki masks and Jeet Kune Do elements into the choreography?
Kevin: We didn’t want people to know who we were so we put on masks. But of course when people can’t see our facial expressions we had to use our bodies and that’s where the mime came in. But it wasn’t our goal to have these elements. We just developed [the whole act]. As for Jeet Kune Do, that’s the philosophy behind the dance, inspired by Bruce Lee. It’s about honestly expressing one’s self through movement.
Has this become a full-time career for the group?
Rynan: Right now it’s our 9 to 5. We’ve set up a company ... if we’re not dancing, we’re rehearsing or working on our clothing line, doing a video, updating the website...
Was that the original goal?
No, we just wanted to dance together and have a good time. It was really Gary who was like the main guy. He always had high hopes and dreams for the group. When he passed away we started to push for that. And we started seeing people get driven by what we do, just by the way we dance.
Is there a Pinoy element at all in your dance moves?
Chris: Well, we’re a little behind the times, but we can do the ocho-ocho.
Thanks Bree for the link!

FHM.COM Interview with the JabbaWockeeZ
INTERVIEW: LOU E. ALBANO
You've all heard about the Jabbawockeez, yes? The dance group from the US with Pinoy members? The be-masked group who danced with Shaquille O'Neal at the NBA All-Stars 2009? FHM nabbed an exclusive interview with them boys right before they came over! That's right, the Jabbawockeez are in town! Familiarize yourselves with them Jabbawockeez before they jabbfy you.
How did Jabbawockeez start?
Kevin Brewer: Jabbawockeez was officially formed in San Diego in 2003. It was born out of the need for us to express ourselves through music on our own terms, an outlet for us to be creative. Jabbawockeez was formed in a very organic way. We were a bunch of homiers that freestyled with each other all the time.
Joe Larot: There were eight original members: Randy, Gary [Kendall], Ryan, Chris [Gatdula], Rainen [Paguio], Joe [Larot], Phil [Tayag], Keibee [Brewer]. Ryan was young and moved away with his family. After our debut, we added Saso [Jimenez] and Eddie [Gutierrez]. In 2004, we met Phil through a show in LA and battled him in the crew. The last member to be battled in was Ben [Chung]. We've all been friends through the dance community for years.
