Hey Crew,
Thanks to everyone for all the great work on Juggle This! I'm still in
afterglow or post-partum depression or something, and the whole thing seems
like a blur, but the reports sound good. I guess it was a success. We broke
even (whoo-hoo!), and apparently the show went okay (I'm still waiting to
see it on video, because I didn't get to watch much from backstage).
I'm leaving town for a bit and may not have e-mail. Hold down the fort. Keep
up the balls.
Back to the day-to-day juggle, and here's the latest:
- Carmine Street closed until May 10. Alternate space is available.
- Pratt juggling club open to public on Tuesdays in Student Union.
- Juggle This! souvenirs still available.
- DC Fest coming up soon -- who's game?
- Coney Island offering sideshow school.
- (continuing) Last two weeks of Bindlestiff Family Cirkus.
- Wanted: magic/clowning instructor.
- Studio space available
- Miscellaneous -- magic, physical theater, pop-up menopause, improv
===================
1. 1. Carmine Street closed until May 10.
Alternate space is available. Do not go to Carmine to juggle until after May 10, and given how well they keep to their schedules, I'd recommend calling even then. Big thanks and kudos to Janet for arranging alternate space:

2. Pratt juggling club open to public on Tuesdays in Student Union.
Another option is to juggle at Pratt now that you all know where it is.
Juggling every Tuesday night in the Student Union (not the gym -- get to
campus and ask) from 8:00 until about 10:30 p.m.

I hear RIT was good as always. Sorry I missed it. Glad four of you were
there to represent. Let's have a bigger showing at this year's Continental
Congress of Jugglers, May 3 - 5, 2002. I'm in. Are you? As usual, e-mail if you're interested, if you have a car, if you need a ride, if your parents live locally and want to house twenty of your closest friends, etc. etc.

9.Miscellaneous -- magic, physical theater, pop-up menopause, improv.
I'm getting a lot of off-topic recommendations. I don't want to clog the
juggling list, but if you would like info on a new magic publication, a hot
clown show, a pop-up book about menopause, or a new improv troupe, just let
me know! (Yes, I know some of the rest of it could be considered off topic,
but I calls it like I sees it.)
