Now do it again with a carrot
Day 2 BJC
I’m writing this early on the morning of day 3 after a shitty night of wind, rain and little sleep but more about that later.
A day of bits really.
Juggling: me and Clurb managed some good stuff today. Solid runs of 8 and weird 7 stuff too. Nice. She got her clubs mended and they became nice and shiny again. Then she lost one somewhere. No doubt someone’s just wandered off with it.
Workshops: Ran my posture and injury prevention thing again. A nice turnout of interested folk (including a certain Mr Turner). I even got an applaud at the end of it. Coo that’s never happened before.
People: Sat and chatted quite a bit. You do get nice people at these events.
Physio stuff: Ooh rushed off my feet I was. First clinic of the event; a whole 1 person showed up. Never mind, there’s free wi-fi. A few folk did come to ask me when I’m running stuff so I’m expecting much more activity today. And I might do a massage thing on Saturday after the show.
Shows: I saw the open stage this time. First act was a man playing a carrot, next was a man playing a saw but he also did an umbrella balance whilst playing “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head” – best bit was when someone heckled “sing the words” so me and Jon did “ta da tada ta da ta da”s to the music much to our own amusement if no-one else’s. Next was Luke B playing with neither a carrot nor a saw. His act was notable for the sound not being there so we had to watch him juggle to live ukelele accompaniment.
Renegade: was on a bit later and I wandered in to find not a huge amount going on. Max Lastic was compering and trying to wangle acts. The only vaguely non-drunken rambling bit I saw was Team KD, still trying to sell as many of Void’s kendama as possible, strutting their stuff. Other good bit was watching Max trying to get Blue Cat or Jen9 to come on stage to do something. Neither was keen. He tried though.
And that was about it. A full day indeed.
I went to bed about 3 this morning. It started raining about 5, and got windy around 7. The fact that I know these times indicates just how much sleep I’ve had. I think I’ll be napping in a mo.
Have fun.
