First Juggling Festival. Not the last! Absolutely brilliant!


Glad you enjoyed yourself Adam. I think the only reason you didn't get many passers by helping out with tents was because by the end of the night there were several refugees sleeping in the bigtop due to similar problems and many very wet jugglers in their beds. The big top itself was blowing around severely in the wind and people were having to re-set lines on it too.

So for mine.... I was going to wait a while before writing mine, but I have decided to go ahead.


HIGH
Sun, buttercups, new games (especially silly ones with magnets in), having company every dinner time, late night pancakes on a saw blade and tractor wheel, cuddles, new friends, old friends

Basically... everything up until 10am Saturday morning.

LOW
I don't feel it's appropriate to go into details but needless to say those who were there will know why I feel my convention ended midway through a game on saturday morning. With all that was going on til 3am that entire day and then losing Sunday to lack of sleep my holiday didn't end brilliantly.

I am probably the only person who really didnt mind the rain on the last day though. I made a great new friend out of it.

GOAL
*The bring back my Cabaret act for the show - FAIL - with everything else that was going on saturday I really should have pulled out the show. I completely bombed. Yes, I know you all clapped anyway... but I still died for 3 mins on a stage. I would even go as far as politely requesting that anyone with video footage uses either excerpts only as part of another video or just deletes it altogether. I had been looking forward to this for months to get back into the swing of performing again. I'm very much put off.

*Get lots of cool photos of the convention and show - 50/50 - one camera card failed and I lost everything taken before wednesday and got no photos at all after saturday morning... but I did get lots of photos on thursday and friday.

*Get some passing practice - FAIL - Thanks to Martin who made a valiant effort, but I still can't do 4 count

*Have some fun - 80% fulfilled - was a blast up until the final weekend.

CRUSH
There are a few for many different reasons:

*Jo, Paul, Charlie and Ewano - You are stars and you know why.

*Martin - late night chat at the fire, attempts at passing and a well needed hug.

*Void - for random silliness and making me smile when I really needed it

*Robbie and Farmer Paul - for outdoor peppermint teas and pancakes at midnight

*Monte - for trusting me


BANE
Not having 2 replacement days and coming home on a low.

-------------------------------------

I daresay I'll be more chipper after a few more nights of good sleep. Fuller review with pictures to follow in due course and possibly even a video if I've collected enough footage.
