Juggling in the Dark

I did a little club juggling tonight. I wanted to see if I could juggle clubs in the dark and then have a flash go off and keep juggling. Boy was that tricky. Of course I wasn't thrilled to be getting so fat, but what can I say, I'm juggling at least.

Juggling at the World Renaissance Faire

I wanted to juggle clubs and this guy from the juggling school was a good sport and passed with me for a bit. It made me realize how much I miss juggling with other people. It used to be so easy to find people to juggle with. Even at the faire, most of the people at the juggling school where laid back and just hanging out, not even willing to get up and toss a few around.

Clowns Without Borders Interview

I just found this group on youtube. There are many videos about them. So if you go see this on youtube you can follow around to various shows and countries. Fascinating. I particularly love that they do it to share joy and not as part of a religious or political agenda.

I'm not sure what 'ping my default' means but I guess I'll find out when I hit send.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

Juggling in HB again

I wasn't so lucky in H.B. this time as none of the people I juggled with last week showed up. It was all fighters and fencers. A few people asked about my hula hoop though.
Too many drunks in the park, so not nearly as much fun as last week. But the point is that at least I juggled for an hour.

Juggling tonight in Huntington Beach CA

Here is my new schedule. On Monday nights I'll go to the SCA fighter's practice in Long Beach and from 7 to 8 juggle (while it's still light out) and then from 8 to 9 belly dance.
On Tuesday nights I'll go to the fighter practice in Huntington Beach CA and juggle from 7 to 8 and belly dance from 8 to 9. So anyone that wants to jump in feel free to drop by. That's PM of course. It's not an official class, just a place to practice and improve my skills. If you are not in the SCA, that's okay, it's a public park. I just feel safer hanging with a group of people who are into creative things.

If you are coming to meet me, email me first so I can give you more precise directions. I don't want the whole world of weirdos to know where I am, if you know what I mean. novajugglers@gmail.com.

Don't forget to register to win a prize. I won a diabolo last year. I would love to win a new set of clubs.

Yay I finished the Picnic Blanket Backpack.

The only change I would make is I need to make the straps 3" longer. I can get into it, but it's way too hard to get out of it. I got my new juggling balls and they are all wrapped up inside the blanket. I'm taking them on the train tomorrow. I'm so glad I got this finished today. Started and finished all in one day. That's a new record for me.

Picnic Blanket Backpack

You know how when you juggle in the park and you get park goobers on your juggling props? I'm going to make one of these. I can use it to carry some props by modifying it a bit. Then when I'm done juggling I can take a nap. It will also be great to use for yoga or stretching. Yes, Threadbanger does it again. That show is genius!


I just figured out how to modify it. Instead of stuffing the pillow, I will leave it empty and put my juggling bags or journal or whatever inside the pillow and tie or velcro it shut. If I actually need to use it as a pillow, I can just empty out the items and use a handy sweater or scarf stuffed inside to make a quick temporary pillow.

Hey Mr. Mailman where is my package

I was hoping my new juggling beanbags would come today but alas no. In fact our USPS11:30 to 2 mail deliverer didn't even get here until 5:30 PM. All the more reason to anticipate with excitement their arrival soon.

Friends help friends juggle.
