The MYACHI!!! The new thing for Juggling!

feeds@yuku.com (NYRngrs24) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:31:17 GMT

My friend enlightened me today about the Myachi. She was at FAO Schwartz and some guy there came up to her to show her the newest thing of juggling. Watch the commercial:

Wanna buy a great house in my neighboorhood?

feeds@yuku.com (slammin) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:47:52 GMT

Seriously,

It is a great house that needs a lot of work.

The pictures are sucky, but you get a great old house in a quiet neighborhood that is literally 10 minutes away from Times Square. I know both of your neighbors and they are great people.

Here is the street view shot:

How do you practice juggling torches without attracting the police? Apparently it's illegal. I tried calling my local precinct and they were totally unhelpful. In the suburbs it would be easy, many fewer eyes, and you tend to know people better.

Maybe you just do it and see what happens. Any ideas? Is there a fire-permit process?

A slightly better night at Tony D, at least in terms of attendance. I think that there were about 13 people all totaled by the end of the night. Now, that is actually fairly pathetic, but given the fact that people are traveling, the economy is preventing some people from joining the gym and other people have jobs on Thursday night at some people are lazy and people just don't really care about juggling, the turnout wasn't that bad. Let's see if I can name the 13: Me, Josh,...

I drew this doodle today and I think it kicks ass.

It is a picture of a squid attacking a giraffe.

I almost fell asleep in the meeting.

Viral video shoot needs jugglers!

Here's the poop:

There's a promotional stunt TOMORROW in Union Square on Tuesday, November 3rd from 10AM-2PM. (call time is a little longer on both ends.) It's a flash mob performance that will be videotaped for the launch of OfficeMax's new "Elf Yourself" for Christmas. They are looking to hire 8-10 jugglers to be in attendance dressed as elves (costumes to be provided).

So far, there are 7 of us doing it including myself.

C'mon guys! Times like this are exactly why I wanted this forum. Please report!

Here's what's happening here: Today was a banner day. Productive morning of guerrilla tech--running on stage any time there was a gap--afternoon of practice with a Cuban juggler who snuck in with a teeterboard troupe he's not normally in but his friends are. He wanted to go to China. They gave him one trick in the show. Kind of like me and Matt.

My highlight was his reaction to...

Thought about posting this on the real site, but decided it's too Random even for http://jugglenyc.com/random.html so I'm just pasting in the email I got from Josh (thanks). Check it out:

I really can't make this up. There is an internet poll for the hottest climate scientist and Gavin is in second place. Get your friends and colleagues to vote.

I am really exhausted. Work these days is just a crushing grind, and I am ground down to a fine powder.
I didn't practice much this past week because a) I had to get to work at 6AM on Monday, b) I was still too tired on Tuesday from having worked 75 hours the previous week c) I was still to tired on Wed and d) on Thursday, my dog got me up for an hour at 2 am to hunt skunks so I didn't get a good night's sleep.

As a result, I was like a zombie riding the train...

So, I'll write more later, but I just have to say this: New New Chinese (a.k.a Grand Sichuan) kicks ass. Wow. That was great food. I probably could have eaten until I puked, and then gone back for more. Spicy small shrimp where, well super hot but super good. Eel in garlic sauce? Possibly the best eel I have ever had. Shaved potatoes in vinegar? Bizarre but tasty.

As I left Pratt with the boys (my nephews and their friend) they couldn't stop laughing and talking about all the cursing in the music that night! Rather than write about the night here is a vid clip:

study at oxford university shows juggling increases white matter in brain. or students just wanted a reason to not work and juggle.

Holy crowded with maybe 30 jugglers of all ages and abilities. I gotta admit at one point while I was directing Avi through the doors to the pizza/smoothie shop, I did think, this club has it all.

Jay Green gave a workshop on the "Fundamentals of Juggling." He doesn't seem to understand the workshop concept. While everyone sat and watched, he gave individual instruction to people who wanted it on specific props. The individual instruction was helpful, but it didn't...

Unicycling on Sunday, Oct 4th, 2009

feeds@yuku.com (slammin) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:57:56 GMT

What do you get when you mix beautiful weather, a great outdoor setting, and an fringe activity that seems to interest eccentrics of all ages? You get the New York Unicycle club.

A really crowded meeting at Grant's Tomb yesterday. I think there were probably about 30-40 riders who showed up. The weather was insanely beautiful which probably helped. I rode for about an hour, then I skated for a bit and then jugged for about 1/2 an hour (yes I juggle outside. Deal with it)....

Free Coffee Table

feeds@yuku.com (slammin) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:29:47 GMT

Our much used, much loved Ikea coffee has been replaced by the next better version.

It is old, and venerable, and one of the sides is a bit cracked (but you can't really notice it, but if you drag it around, the leg will go a bit wonky)

But if you shine it up, it still looks really nice and it is nice and big.

The veneer has a bit of surface damage, but again, a bit of furniture polish and it looks ok.

You can see a bit of it in this picture

What happened?

Miss you guys! I'm in Chicago for my (gulp) 25th high school reunion. So far I went to the homecoming Morning Ex. (like an assembly), at which I was pleased to see one freshman girl will be picking up the long, proud tradition of Parker swimming (I was the only swimmer on the team one year; long, funny story; we don't have a pool).

Then I went to a Spanish 3 class at which I burst into tears telling my teacher how much she'd...

So, besides Paris, who all is coming down this weekend? I have to work Friday and Saturday, but would it be worth making a Sunday appearance? I promise I'll even juggle a little and won't hardly make anyone look at wedding photos...

Light night. Seems like they all are these days. A few new folks (welcome Danny) and returnees (hi Anthony).

I love seven-club left-right patterns and was pleased Matt was game for some three-count and ultimates, but the evening's highlight was definitely the pep-chovy crack pie. Damn that's some good pizza.

That's really all I can think of.

Oh, and a huge, tall, climate-controlled space that's conveniently subway accessible in midtown east would...
