Cheers All,
Greetings from The Pasta Palace! I hope that everyone out there in
rec.jugg world is having a Happy
Holiday Season.
I just wanted to pass on the word of a new blog that I have started. The
purpose of this blog is to serve
as a place to announce what jugglers are performing where and when. It
will also include
jugglers/juggling stories in the news, as well as upcoming TV appearances
of jugglers/juggling. Juggler's
World magazine used to have a column similar to this and as a result I was
able to see a lot of great
juggling performances that I would have otherwise never even known about.
Although this is primarily
US and North America based at this point, I am very open to including news
from the international
community eventually. This is where you can help out. Please feel free to
forward any notable news of
juggling or juggler's performances and I'll be happy to not only include
it, but also give credit to
who/where the story came from. Come on over and join the other jugglers at
The Juggler Lounge by
becoming a follower. The group is growing...

Great idea! Perhaps you could eventually add a calendar widget so
people could see all the upcoming shows by clicking on the date.

Great idea. I am just now learning my way around the Blog site and all of
the possibilities, but would love
to do that eventually.

Excellent!
Rootberry's in the house. The "Cool Factor" of the Lounge just increased.
Thanks for the "follow" guys. Be sure to keep me in the loop on where you
are going to be playing
"public' shows, or let me know where your calendar/dates get posted. I am
sure that Jugglers want to
know where and when they can catch your act.

The Flaming Idiots just got a nice little write up in The New York Times.
Come on over to the blog and
find the link to read all about it...

An easy way to do this is to get a Gmail Account and use the Google
Calendar function. Then you can update the calendar whenever you like
and add a link to the sidebar of the blog to the calendar so everyone
can see what shows are coming up.

Steve,

I think this is a good thing and it somewhat atones for your behaviour
within the IJA. But I still think you have some major apologies for that
behaviour. True, you did privately apologise to me, but it really should
have been public. Also true that the IJA bosses tricked you into being
their attack dog. But you yourself chose to go on the attack (even though
you admit you had no idea what you were talking about). You also let
yourself be used as an excuse by IJA bosses, even though you've admitted
you had no knowledge nor condoned their actions. Simply put, your
credibility is shot, and you behaved like a hothead. Your actions help
cost the IJA over $100,000 dollars and every IJA members who attends IJA
festivals has probably paid more than $100 extra dollars because of you
(and the IJA bosses you blindly supported).

Regardless, I wish you luck with this project.

Much!

One wish to add to the wish list for the blog - is there any way you can tag
each post with a keyword indicating the country it's relevant to? It would
be super awesome to be able to build a feed of performers who I don't have
to book a flight to go and see.

At least, I think blogspot allows you to do tagging.

Got it!
Great idea LP. As the blog grows to include more International
performances (which it already has) this
would be a very helpful feature. Thanks to all for the encouragement and
great input/ideas on improving
it.

If only "<snip>" worked in real life. The world would be a nicer place.
Kidnapping in Columbia <snip> didn't happen. Trouble in Iran <snip> gone.

But real life doesn't recognize "<snip>". Bad things do happen. And yes,
although most jugglers are VERY nice people, sometimes even jugglers do
bad things to other jugglers.

I had an agreement with Steve Langley (fettucinibro). He did not honor
that agreement. That is something I think people should know about Steve
before they do much business with him.

I realize rec.juggling readers don't know many of the issues involved, so
I will relate it to Sam with his return refusal of Brontosaurus Balls. I
think most readers will agree that what Sam (and Steve) did was a mistake.
But that aside, perhaps the bigger error Sam (and Steve) made is to refuse
to correct their errors when they easily could.

Steve admitted to me his errors and would have been a primary witness
against the IJA. He could have undone much of the damage he caused. It
appears that the IJA bought Steve's silence, or pressured him into
silence, or most likely both. To me, Steve's actions were not ethical and
he cannot be trusted. I would not enter into a business agreement with
him. I would advise other jugglers to be wary of dealing with him also.
I'm sure he is mostly a nice guy, except for when he isn't.
