ChocolateFest Day 4
Today went well, but I’m glad it’s over. I’m TIRED.
Everyone should spend an afternoon swapping stories with a couple of cowboys in a barn. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I had a long break in between sets today, and I had already planned on spending it sitting on my butt backstage. [...]

ChocolateFest Day 3
Today I had four shows, and they were only 30 minutes apart. It was exhausting. At least it was a nice sunny day though, so there were lots of people around to watch.
Today’s high points:

- Buying my [...]

ChocolateFest Day 2
Today at ChocolateFest it rained. That was really the major aspect of my day. One of my shows got cancelled as a result, but mostly it just meant there were fewer people around. People were literally running from the park when the rain started. Not a good sign when you are [...]

ChocolateFest Day 1
I’m in Burlington WI today, and for the next three days performing at ChocolateFest. I met a guy from ChocolateFest at one of my gigs last year, and I actually tried really hard to get them to hire me… mostly because I had heard that there were mountains of free chocolate just lying around, [...]

MadFest and Chris Bliss
Having just finished another great MadFest juggling convention I have come to a better understanding of why there was such a controversy over the popularity of the Chris Bliss video that swept the internet a while back. (If you haven’t already seen it, check it out here before you read the rest of this [...]

Wisconsin State Yo-yo Contest and MadFest
Tomorrow I leave for Madison WI to start the ramp-up to the MadFest Juggling Festival. I have to go earlier this year than usual because I will be doing a radio interview on Tuesday morning (at 6:30 am… ug) on Z104. As usual I’m really looking forward to the fest, and a bunch of my [...]

Big Red Jugglefest, Cornell University, Ithaca NY
This last weekend I was in Ithaca NY to be the MC for the Cornell Juggling Club’s public show at their Big Red JuggleFest. It was a great time. First of all, juggling festivals are always great. If you don’t spend your time hanging out and talking with people, like I usually end up doing, [...]

In their ongoing effort to bring the Smithsonain to the people (instead of the people always having to go to Washington DC) they put on a huge event called Culture Fest, in Phoenix and the surrounding area, [...]
