Hey everyone. My dad taped Kristina and me pass yesterday. That's almost exactly a month since we made Kristina and Vova 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABD1hFJHJiY). So, check out our progress:

My dad's been occasionally going to my practices and taping some stuff. He's gathered a bunch of footage from that. I've also had some older footage laying around. So I put together some of that footage that hasn't been put out yet. Here it is, hope you like it:

I'm going to Philadelphia/New Jersey for the Philadelphia Juggling Convention this week. I haven't been to a regional juggling convention in a while, and never been to this one in particular. Anyone on here ever been there? Tell me about it.

Tonight I'd like to talk about one of the more annoying things about practicing juggling - sweaty underwear. I sweat a lot when I juggle. During my practice I develop some strange sweat patterns on my shirt ranging from smiley faces to playboy bunnies. I don't particularly enjoy the shirt getting wet, but it's not horrible. I simply change shirts. I can live with that.

So I didn't really get enough sleep last night, and I have a headache, so I didn't feel like practicing today. Instead I decided to tape this 3c move I made up the other day. Well... I thought I made it up, but then Norbi said he'd suggested that I do a move similar to the move I made up. So it's really like I half made it up. The move I'm talking about is probably the most challenging move I've ever done with 3 clubs. I call it the behind the back madness. I taped it from 3 angles, but I think I like the "back" angle best. My back is just too sexy. Check it out:

Here comes a juggling related post. I don't post much about juggling, because there isn't really much to say about it, I suppose. Recently I've thought of something juggling-related to talk about though. We're going to talk about talent and specifically talent for juggling.

So I went street performing last night. Barry counted the money this morning, and we learnt that someone gave me a hundred dollar bill!

It's about time I posted something juggling related. After every WJF I set a few juggling goals for the next WJF. To be able to do a 5 club 540, 7733 with crotch throws, 2 rounds of 966 with 7 balls and over 20 catches of 7 clubs in my WJF routines this year were my goals that I set for myself last year.

Hey guys, it looks like I'll be going to be street performing this weekend quite a bit. I'm going today. And I'll do 2 hours today (8 pm - 10 pm). I'm also going tomorrow (8 pm - 11 pm) and on Sunday (not sure about the times yet). Those of you who can check out my show should. It's a cool show and I do some pretty cool juggling in it.

So I've been street performing quite a bit lately. This may seem surprising to a lot of you, but I do street perform at the Santa Monica Promenade.
