Hi everyone! My name is Michael. I haven't been juggling too long (about a year now), but I love it so so much! I also practice a bunch of other different flow arts like poi, staff, hoops, contact juggling, etc. and have been doing so for the last four years. Hmmm. Right now I'm working on my four ball fountain, four ball patterns with multiplexes, and more three ball tricks. I've also started juggling large hula hoops, but I've only got a cascade right now. I'll be attending Congress of Jugglers 2014. You know, if they manage to put up the info for this year's event any time soon. Still waiting on that one. I also attend the Austin Jugglefest when I can, but I'm no longer a local because of school. I think that is nearly it. I also take a lot of dance classes, practice contortion, and I'm trying really hard to perfect my handstands. I'm just a somewhat normal college student with hobbies I am passionate about. :) *waves* Also, if anyone is local to Maryland in the US, let me know! I'd love to find some people to pass with. I haven't been able to pass since I moved. XD
Hi Michael,
According to the University of Maryland Juggling Club facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/185283864873342/ the 2014 Congress of Juggling will be 2-4 May 2014.
If you meet them, you might encourage them to update their Juggling Edge listing
I hope you find someone to pass with.
Thank you!!!!
I just sent a request to join the Facebook group. I can't wait for May to roll around.
I'll definitely encourage them to update the listing. :D

Hello Michael and welcome to the Edge!

A year ISNT LONG ENOUGH and never will be welcome to the site
your response, Robotic juggle, is very confusing as it appears to be unfriendly and contradict the widely held opinion that everyone is welcome to this site no matter how long they have been juggling (or since they have been juggling).

pro tip - once you've written something, read it back before hitting the "post" button.
Also, punctuation is your friend when trying to make two statements read like two statements instead of one!
Yeah that ^, the preview button is your friend.
Bear in mind that currently over a quarter of this site's registered users are from countries with a first language other than English (according to selected timezone). Punctuation exists for a reason! Without it words lose a lot of meaning & you can't expect everyone to be able to fill in the gaps.
I remember once emailing someone from Hungary referencing, "a comment they had posted against one of my articles". I really upset the guy because he thought I used against as in 'opposed to' where as I meant it as 'on the same page as', he wrote me a massive email protesting his innocence. It took me ages to clear that up!
Right at the start of the Edge I did consider blocking all messages that didn't contain any punctuation.
Ooh, there's a browser plugin that hides youtube comments without punctuation.....

yah I am just an avid texter; so I have a terrible habit of not punctuating, and I use texting shortcuts sometimes not taking into account that it probably reads differently in say French for instance

I often think trifling nuances of the English language are overrated. Things I done/things I did etc. Then when I go to a BJC and there are jugglers speaking English, as a second language, better than I do, WTF? If they as people who aren't even from this country know it so well, why the frying fork didn't I learn it better?
'Sometimes', though... Perfect start to a second sentence. Two statements perfectly separable, wanting to be joined as one. Your messages are like a love story for words that felt they could never part from each other.
Lol???
Sometimes the preview button doesn't help. It just looks mental anyway. Then when it is bonkers, it looks perfectly fine. Just me? OK then.
Lol???
Talking of misunderstanding text, I see this a lot & have never got it. Are you questioning whether you are laughing? Or ending your laugh in a higher pitch like "I'm Ron Burgundy?"?!
I've always preferred "hahahaha" because it actually sounds like laughter when you read it.
RegularJugular - - Наверх #
The way I see it, sometimes laughter is infectious and other when times the person who is laughing appears to be some kind of buffoon. That little snippet of text was more of a "That was funny, amirite guys? Guys?!? Where did you all go?" kind of emotionally insecure foolishness that I'm prone to in real life.
Also three exclamation or question marks is also the limit at which Terry Pratchett considers to be mentally stable... So that was a statement bordering on feeling wimperingly nutty. Somewhat like flaked almonds, cooked on a waffle. OK, so something not quite, but almost entirely unlike that. Alrighty then, my work here is done. Up, up and away!!!!!

Welcome! Hope you enjoy it here :)

"Never read the bottom 1/3 of the internet"
never a wiser thing was said
although I wonder if avoiding the bottom 4/5 might be more like it
I think I would have understood that the same way he did. I've never heard 'against' used in that way before.
Hi Michael *waves back* & welcome.
I've found some contact email addresses for some UMD jugglers & sent an email asking if there is any more news but I'm sure they are like all other festival organisers & are unfeasibly busy so it might just be a case of being patient.
What sort of contortion do you do? Is this a new thing or were your joints manipulated as a child?
Hey Orinoco,
Thanks for the update. I sent a request to join the Facebook group, so hopefully I'll be getting some information from them soon. I'm sure they are very busy. :3
Practicing being bendy isn't exactly new for me. I've been practicing yoga since I was a young teen. However, becoming interested in contortion specifically is a fairly new thing. Are there a lot of different types of contortion? I also practice acroyoga.

Following up on my emails that I sent, two bounced, nothing back from the others yet :(
There's a few different types of contortionism, I think back bending is generally the most common found in circus. This is where the performer is able to bend over backwards as if they have a hinged spine. Dislocations are quite common too where the performer is able to pop a shoulder in & out of joint at will. There's also a name for contontionists who specialise in squeezing themselves into tight spaces which I can't remember... enterologists according to the internets, a name shared with a doctor who specialises in the intestines. I'm sure there are other specialisations too.
That's okay. I was just approved for the Facebook group, so I'm sure I'll get some info soon. :)
Ah, okay. I didn't know that. I do back bending and inversions (lots of handstands and headstands).

Welcome to the edge. Nice to have another American in the mix.
I sent you a warm "howdy" From the Carolinas.
:D Heya.
Maybe I'll see you around at an east coast event. Congress of Jugglers, maybe? :P
Roflcopter - - Наверх #
maybe, I'm not able to travel a lot though.
New member intro: I'm a variety performer/circus artist in the Washington DC area and my next fest will be Congress of Jugglers unless I make it to Pocono. Still working on baby stuff like chops, chin balance, and four balls. Cheers.

Hello and welcome. I hardly ever do chops, actually I'd almost forgotten about them. Not sure why though - it's a great trick! I can only think of two of three chops variations.. it seems underdeveloped, or perhaps I just haven't seen very much of what jugglers have done with it.
I've always liked the flat-front 1-side only chop pattern. Learned it from Max Oddball several aeons ago.
