Article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review about the Not Quite Pittsburgh Juggling Festival this weekend. I’ll be in the gym hanging out and juggling, as well as closing the show on Saturday night. Maybe I’ll see you [...]

Day 9 at the Wisconsin State Fair
Behold the Mega-Wagon!!!
I saw these guys last year too. Maybe next year I’ll have the patience to actually talk to them and find out what the story is here. That HAS to be heavy and hard to pull.
Today is the start of the Shoebox Tour! I hung out with the guys last night as they [...]

Driving Model Trains With Uncle Bill
Today was the last day of the International Jugglers Association Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It was awesome. If you juggle you HAVE to go to an IJA festival. It’s just amazing. The Saturday night public show may have been the best show I’ve ever seen. Check out Get The [...]

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, [...]

Good Times in Phoenix
Last weekend I had a great gig with the Smithsonian Institution that took us to Phoenix Arizona. 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, [...]
