*Rushes to signup sheet*

Nice work, Christian!! So pleased to hear that it is all going ahead. I am going to try and make it down there...

*starts plotting and planning*

Is the juggling convention accessible by people of all skills? I'm very new to this whole juggling thing is all ^^

Whole heartedly agree Rozi, I went to SJC barely being able to hold down a 3-ball pattern... I still enjoyed myself and picked up heaps of new skills... (Still can't get mill's mess *Curses and mutters to self*)
And if some of the people that came to SJC come to MJC there'll be plenty of poi,staff and various other toys and skills going around...
You won't regret coming...

yeah, brenn (judging by SJC) its really good

plus, you quite possibly met christian (aka sweaty56) at common ground

Ooooh So it's not just clubs, juggling balls and unicycling? whee! Count me in!


*brings his assorted Yoga, staff, fans and acrobalance skills along *

Looks like another reason to get myself to Oz earlier...

Christian: I fooking miss you dude

It's too late for UberOz but the other two are definites!

sweet! see you there dave

I'm glad that there seems to be some (lots!) of interest in the Melb convention - nice one! I'm working hard to make it an everything-goes convention including ALL abilities in ALL areas... so please do come along! It's going to be lots of fun, just like the SJC.

Update: Several high-quality acts have been secured for the public show and people are signing up to the workshop list already - including Poi, Diabolo, Staff, and of course, juggling.

Keep posting your thoughts here - any requests/questions welcome.

Christian.
