Cutting a long show short.

30th
Apr. × ’09

A while ago I swapped some things around in my show to add in a new ring routine. Even though it felt like the show remained the right length, I’d accidentally extended it by a number if minutes. For example a few cruises ago the cruise director called me after the first show to say [...]

Productivity planning at sea…

26th
Apr. × ’09

Now I have something like 6 days at sea. That means plenty of time for reading, writing, eating, swimming, juggling and whatever else I can find to do. Reading: The Accidental Time Machine – Joe Haldeman. I just found this in the library, and it looks quite fun. Crystal Rain – Tobias S Buckell. I [...]

Flights, James Randi, Trap Door Spiders, etc.

Apr. × ’09

I went to Contakt, the Hannover juggling convention. A lot of fun was had by all! Chatting, combat, volleyclub, and Berlini-style Prechac patterns. The last is a very geeky style of juggling which mixes Gandini-style weaves with Berlin-style takeouts and 1p’s. A video demonstration: Late on Saturday night I took some photos of Jochen, Jochen [...]

An old song on a new guitar.

16th
Apr. × ’09

Today I bought myself a new guitar. I decided to share my excitement by playing a song for my camera and, by extension, anyone on the internet who might care. The song itself is introduced within the video itself, so I’ll just let you watch… Leave Montpelier, words and lyrics by Luke Burrage, 2005

Ministry of Manipulation in Berlin

10th
Apr. × ’09

I’m subscribed to the Ministry of Manipulation blog, a really great place to find new and/or obscure juggling videos, with an obvious bend towards contact juggling and manipulation. From the crew I know Drew and Ryan the best, have performed and hung out with Jeanine and Ed, and know Moon and Colin by reputation/video. Anyway, [...]
