Recent weeks and sponsorship!

Weeks of June11th and 18th

First week it rained, we juggled anyway, and second week it did not.  Thomas from France showed up, and showed us all up to boot.

Here are some pictures.

Then we have yesterday, Monday the 25th of June, when we learned of the advertising campaign of our new corporate sponsor, Pepsi.  They have plastered a couple of dozen of the park tables with an ad for the juggling lessons in the park.  It really made our Monday to see the effort going into this.

 Joe Goldin showed up to pass with Alex and Jordan, Anna from Germany, and then Thomas from Nice came back with his juggling souvenir from Brian Dube's shop....hot pink juggling clubs.    It would seem so easy to make fun of a guy for purchasing such girly-colored clubs, but he's such a good juggler, there's really nothing to make fun of.  

Lastly at the bottom, I am leaving the park and I find a guy working five tennis balls, on our turf!  I introduce myself, he gives me a card and I realize I already knew him.. Juan Camilo, I had see him at Pratt a couple of years ago.   He is a juggler, dancer and photographer.

 Very nice Tuesday juggle.  We all missed the transit of Venus, although it was visible in Westchester, thirty miles to the north, for a few minutes.   We had a large contingent from India and Israel.  Catherine, Jared, Rhoda and a returnee from last week were all in attendance, along with about thirty other folks.  One favorite moment was watching a man who calls himself Wayne take a picture of the juggling sign, and turn to walk away    I had to give him some grief.  I said, "so your going to go home, and look at this picture on the computer and think back to that thing in the park that you didn't do?"    Wayne, who's real name is Svyatoslav, got my point, stayed, and juggled with us for an hour. 

The last three pics at the bottom are Wednesday morning, they were doing a shoot for the cover of Weddings magazine on the steps of the library, hence the Bride in the background.

We had a very, very nice after-work juggle in the Park.  36 people in attendance, including some strong jugglers new to the group.   One of them had so much fun his car nearly got towed thirty feet from us as we ran a 15-club star at the end of the session.   

We had Denmark, Pakistan, Guinea, Jamaica, France represented!  An international crowd as always.

Monday noon.

Back at it.   Practicing Pass Self Pass Double Zip in the Park on Monday.  Thanks to Selena for video.

Joan joined us toward the end.  Let's hope it doesn't rain tomorrow.  There's at least one social group with us on their schedule.
