I'm proud to announce that on the 5th March Nottingham's going to be holding it's first ever juggling convention!
It's a one day event put on by Notts Jugglers and Jugglesoc whicjh will be taking place at the University.
From what i've been told it should be kinda similar to Chocfest or Bradford and i can vouch for the fact that the Notts lot are a sound and very friendly bunch of people....
... the only problem with the whole event is that i'm not gonna be there to enjoy it myself as i have to take the Uni Surf Club down for the Student Nationals the same weekend.
All the other Notts spinners will be there though so if anyone needs somewhere to stay get in touch an i'll be able to hook you up....
*goes off to cry cos he's gonna miss out on all the fun*

Nice to see that you weren't too drunk to make it Ros- was good to talk to you, and the other HOP-ers who came along
The convention was excellent- I stuck around for the show which was also superb.

oooooooo i had a lovely time! despite sleep deprivation and a mother of all hangovers 
Wicked to bounce and play again and a truly lovely atmosphere - I had a very enjoyable day indeed. Excellent to finally chat with you properly dave n I'll hopefully see you in sheffield.
I personally took a huge step forward with my spinning yesterday - thank you all for inspiring me/helping me etc etc... I feel a lot of things clicking into place and some others starting to demand a bit more attention - good projects to come!
love n hugs n fluff n bounces

The origami polyhedron!!!!!
That little ****-er was so frustrating!
Failed totally to put it together at the convention; finally managed it at home a couple of times. It's by far the hardest bit of origami I've encountered, but it justs sucks you in- I shudder to think of the hours I've spent trying to build it and watching it crumple into nothingness just before the last piece goes in.
However, most origami is actually very pleasant to do, and I was thinking about running a origami workshop at Sheffcon if anyones interested.

...I missed all the workshops so didn't learn any juggling or staffiness And I didn't get to speak to half of the people I wanted to Not even about playfestival stuff seeing as we were all together And I also appear to be the only person repeatedly ignored by Dave although saying hello, waving and making eye contact numerous times
Guess I really smelt on Saturday or something
I had a lovely time once I finally got there after much being stuck in traffic and getting lost in Nottingham only to realise we'd been straight past it when we first arrived
Enjoyed the games although I think they were secrectly rigged just so Bluecat could win so many and I even got to partake in one although technically I wasn't allowed
The shows were marvelous, Rob & Tree, your second show was brilliant and looks ace on my cam-corder Hex, was good to see you, all the things I've heard were true, you're a really good juggler!! Shame you couldn't land that last 6baller, but the rest was totally worth watching.
Truelee Peachi, what can I say, the best hair-do of the whole evening!
The guy with the hats/bounce juggling, can't remember his name, he was great! The compare was as funny as....well a funny person comparing!
And another I can't remember the name of, the guy and girl diablo/contact duo, absolutely wonderful. The whole show was so well worked and great music too. Almost brough a tear to my eye......almost
Step, Soph, Ros, Rob, Tom, Steve, Mike, Cole and everyone else, was lovely to share a hug and see you all again, and to those I met for the first time I hope our paths cross again sometime soon

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.
