Hello beautiful people

I am allready getting excited about the european juggling Convention and wanted to see who is coming.

For those who do not know what it is or want more info you can check the
EJC 2003 website

basically it is heaven with juggling and poi and staff 24/7.

because you are not a juggler does not mean you will not enjoy yourself there are heaps and heaps of spinners and fire dancers there, there will even be amazing fire shows by te pooka and Flame Oz that you really do not want to miss.

there will also be a great and impressive display of poi geeks (yes i Am thinking of you glass, PK, etc ...wondering if Cole is coming ) who may seem scary at first but are truely highly huggable people

I really hope to see and meet many of you there

If you are coming maybe you could post here if you need / want a ride or if , like me you are utterly tent-less

shine on

"More sunny days than Spain. It's practically a desert" - claims the web site. Europe's in a heat wave at the moment, and that 34 degrees looks too hot for juggling! But it's cold at night and you are camping.

!!!!OH MY GOD!!!!

I could begin to tell you how amazing the convention is but I'd never end!

I've had the most amazing week, doing the most amazing things, with the most amazing people under the most amazing weather and had the most amazing hugs!

Life is wonderful!

Unfortunately I had to leave early to start a job I flew over the convention on my way back and that's when I got really sad, but also happy at what an amazing time I had.

You wish you were there

I sincerely love all those I hung with at EJC.

Glass and I have been gushing about it the entire train ride home. Well, Glass has been gushing and I've been sitting glassy-eyed muttering 'word' after everything he said.

Amazing spinning, beautiful souls.

I wanna go back, I wanna go back, I wanna go back.

The hilltop looking down at the beertent is my official happy place of the year. When I'm trapped in a classroom full of 30 screaming kids in the middle of a New York winter, I'll shut my eyes and be there in the sun... with all of you.

I can't seem to take my 'badge' off from around my neck... and I've still got drink tokens on it...

Drew and I will be at the Beer tent tonight... see you all there.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

fantastic!!!
first juggling convention and I'm totally hooked.
cristiania was great too, we met ivan and heard mr heart had recovered from his "stomach bug" and was going to perform at the festival that starts today...

met too many people and cant remember most of them- i've got a whole list of emails with names I cant put faces to! aaarrghh.

everyone was great! spec mr dai- "fire!!!!"
oh, and "wow! grrr, grumble grumble, kids these days" for the little 8 yr old who could do everything on the face of this earth...

exhausted from too much fun!

my last RH story is tat before karine and i left he ws chatting aith some random german people saying that the fire show wa so bad and non professional and that they should not worry though because next year he will make sure he is in charge for the fire show to finally get a decent one and he also bitched about all those poor twirlers that cannot spin fast ...

had a beautiful time and really enjoyed hugging you all Glass, Dom, NYC, Tree, king of Bongo, Bluecat, Kenn (has he seen the spinning in paris vid yet ), Captn polyter (whom I feel should rename himself the approving ninja or something ), Magnus from iceland, Dai, anya, nicola, ...

am still glowing and sending you all so much love

YAY for next year in Lille July 25th till August 1st

as you may have noticed cass I took your adivce and changed my name.
hearing that last robert heart story makes me wish I hadn't deleted the first thread I made that riped him to pieces. I swear every time I try to make myself think he's a human I hear something that makes me so full of rage that I'm a big rage filled thing they won't let me put any more mad faces up but they're there in spirit

Rob you have to tell me about meeting the heart in christiania.

I had a wonderful time hanging out with so many amazingly cool people, landing on earth and starting work today really sucked but I can live of the memories for a thousand years if I have to.

I had a whore of a time getting back, I missed my plane getting back and had to sleep in the airport. It wouldn't be so bad if the bus driver hadn't driven off after telling me I had to get a ticket from 10 meters down the road making me wait another hour and a half for a bus and thusly making me miss my plane
ah well such is life love you all

the european was the single greatest experience of my entire life. Every single person (with the exception of one man who I shall never speak of again) was amazingly nice. Attractive women (of which there were squillions) said hello when smiled at. And the pool, my god the pool. I highly recomend a european it will improve your skills by a thousandfold, at least mine did. and you will meet a truly stunning varitey of cool people

in the process of making a video of this... unfortunately(or not) it looks like being about 35 minutes long..... so if anyone wants one it will have to involve some sort of monetary transaction cause i can't make billions of copies on my paltry salary... it would just be to cover costs...
anyway, in an attempt to get you all to watch it i will probably put up a snippet tonight...or tomorrow...


much love

seems more than fair... but eeerrr ... hmmmm maybe my beautiful Glass can help me out and get it for me and i will repy him in october in london ?

looking forward to seeing the edited version but is it possible to have the entire fire show as well just cause I have only seen the back of the performers would be wicked

love to all
