As sweet as your boombox looks, it pales in comparison to how sweet the smiles on those kids faces look. Reaching out in that way and using your boomer to add to the vibe that was already there is what it's all about. As much as we all collect these special pieces of electronic equipment, we need to take them off our shelves and bring smiles to our world. That is the essence of what a boombox is. It's a machine that elicits human emotion. If all you ever do is keep them to ourselves and share pictures with each other, then we are no better than someone that keeps a beautiful exotic bird in a cage.

Thanks for sharing and reminding us what owning boomboxes is truly all about!

That video was immense.

At risk of sounding like a complete girl I found that quite emotional to watch and massively inspiring. The determination on their faces was intense....

Inspirational. Truly a wellspring of hope and a beacon of light to shine through the darkness even in the toughest times. "No excuses, no limits" can be there for anyone to use against adversity. Their courage can set you free, if you let them.

Thanks for sharing and reminding us what owning boomboxes is truly all about!

Even though their 3000 miles away, I feel like I now owe them something of myself.

damn i just watched the video , i though my life was bad , just shows somebody always has it worse.
lazy legs= fukin' lion heart ! as to all of them ,that made me actually want to do something because there are people who don't enjoy the basic things we take for granted.

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments...it was a VERY inspirational, and emotional night last night...i wish i had made a video last night of the dance session...it was really intense. These kids put in %1000...and LazyLegz really inspires the kids...after my friend unbelted himself from his wheel chair...and through himself on the floor to start break dancing as best he could i just couldn't believe it...it was really emotional for me...i had to go off on the side and regroup We opened the session with a story, and the history behind the boombox...the kids were blown away by it's size and sound...it was great

At the end of the dance session, they made 2 teams and had a "battle"...all i can say is WOW ...i will be looking forward to the next session i attend!

Here's a pic with me and my 2 friends and my bolt box from last night...they are actually twins

Exactly Floyd...my outlook on life has also changed dramatically...in a POSITIVE way since spending a lot of time with the twin brothers...it's a lot of extra work...but i just LOVE what it does for me emotionally!
