IJA Video
Alan Plotkin has a trailer up for his 2005 IJA Highlights dvd..Check it out. (On a side note..Alan lives in Austin?? Should I recognize him..is he a Texas Juggling Society regular?? Odd…) Anyhow, the video has lots of neat things..gives a decent flavor of the variety of juggling going on at the fest.. And has clips from some of the assorted shows. Check it out if you have lots of bandwidth to play with.
George had some questions about festivals vs my regular practice and stuff like that… The festivals are my main chance to learn and do difficult group passing patterns. Club passing with guys who are better than I am and can teach me insane patterns…that’s usually the highlight for me. In my home I usually practice ball juggling, seeing as there’s not so much room for clubs. At juggling club here, for the past year or two, I’ve worked almost exclusively on club juggling…solo and passing. Michael and I have been working on our numbers passing and are slowly conquering nine clubs. I’ve been working on three club tricks like reverse backcrosses, (where I throw the club in front of me and then reach around my back to catch it), juggling over my head, and other things like that. So I work on club juggling throughout the year, but yeah, the festivals are my main chance to do complicated patterns with larger groups of jugglers involved.

36Megs for that mpg. With our 6.2Mb/s its going fast enough. Do you have broad band, Matiss?
I gave Steve Wiswell your url. He missed the festival this year and says he’ll check out your blog.
