yes folks, it's drawing closer, the best juggling convention in the world! (according to Derek.)
The 18th-26th September, Woodhouse Park, Bristol. It's going to be great and I hope to see a lot of spinners there advancing the opinion of poi amoungst jugglers (that's gonna happen!).

I have a top left in my room. Sorta Black body and strange coloured arms? looks sorta inside out?

Did you even take your staffs with you Ben?? Oh yeah, I remember now, they spent most of their time sitting on the floor in the rain, abandonded for sparkly shiny juggling clubs and glowy balls in socks
Anyone would think you spent a week and a juggling convention

If the bottle says sourbite twas mine... have it dude it's foul... That's what I get for thinking 30%... £5... bargain. replace bargain with meths varient and it'd be about right

i've got that one.
i've also got the sneaky underarm spy-cam shot of you really trying to juggle properly. the expression on your face says it all! unfortunatley i don't have my own net access at the moment so no photo's on display till then.

Chris, thanks a lot for the CD
Those live sets kick ass ! The pics are on the net now:
https://www.bch.bris.ac.uk/staff/pfdg/clarke/pfg/people/mike/brjc2004/index.htm
Unfortunately some of of the CD was corrupted, some of the metal foil had come off on the outside, so most of those beautiful Tribe of Frog Pictures are not readable :cry: - Have you got internet access by now ? I can arrange an FTP server or so to upload them if you want !?
