Delayed Saturday Post

This Saturday post is from March 15, 2013. Due to an extremely lazy person (me =)) I am only getting to go through the pictures almost a week later. I may be delayed but the best things in this world are those waited for – patiently. OK maybe these pics and this post will not live up to the hype of the previous sentence but here we go...
The weather is starting to break. Jugglers are still arriving in heavy coats but the coats are beginning to shed. It also seems that a lot of the group has been practicing a lot over the winter and the tricks are flying all over =)
Also the Saturday juggle which has been unofficial to this point is now being made a regular event - Thanks Jeff!!! Of course anyone that knows the history of Bryant Park Juggling knows that it began with a single person going into the park to juggle on their lunch break. This was a retreat of the work day and a great way to relieve stress. Now the group has grown and sadly many people have trouble making the weekday juggles. The Saturday juggle allows us to spread the love of the juggle in midtown New York to people that may have to work during the week!
I have recently heard rumors that there will be some extra juggle events going on the days before “Juggle This”. I will try to write if I get more information but honestly – I go to the juggle to juggle not to report or take pictures =P
Thanks for reading – see you juggling soon <3

Some Saturday Juggling

I am sure that everyone in the local area is getting sick of the snow and cold weather. The jugglers at Bryant park saw a warm day coming and planned a Saturday juggle at the park. The weather was sunny, warm, and just plain beautiful. Several regulars (Jeff, Amanda, Laura-Jeanne, Pete, and Naomi)came out to juggle and many random people stopped to play and learn with us. Jeff was able to award a button for a new juggler completing their first qualified 3-ball cascade. Here are some pictures I truly hope the next set of pictures has you in them too!

Tuesday - February 4, 2014

At Bryant Park Juggling one of the best feelings a juggler can have the excitement when they have been able to teach another person how to juggle. Juggling is bar far addictive by being extremely enjoyable. Learning a new trick is great, especially when it was a trick that was simply not physically possible. But for myself, and I do believe I can say I speak for several other jugglers when I say that being able to get someone a pin that says "I learned to juggle in Bryant Park", makes me smile as if it was I that was finally able to qualify a three ball cascade for the first time. Well today I did not get to give anyone a pin but others did so I took a few pictures and hope you enjoy the smiles as much as I do. Congratulations to the button achievers!

January 31, 2014

A banner day for the BP jugglers!  Alex suited up and made a successful request for sweet texting/juggling gloves from the Verizon/NFL behemoth.  Five of our finest are now outfitted with the best of Verizon branded gloves with capacitive-ready ten finger action.  One of our jugglers wondered 'why the pinkies?'. Excellent question ... and we are looking into it.

We wish any and all an excellent weekend, and we have also heard tell of the Saturday juggle coming back right now.  Tomorrow.  Check Facebook for the deets.
