Pictures!

Here are a few pictures from recent outings including Cirque Du Soleil and the largest Twine Ball made by one man!

Sonshine

I am currently in North Dakota at a kid's camp. We (my sister and I) are doing two services a day and are having a great time. There are 250 kids here and they have been a great crowd.

I also just finished a run at Sonshine in Willmar, MN. There were about 21,000 people in attendance. My dad and I were able to juggle in front of about 18,000 of them on mainstage. The rest of our time was spent in the kid's tent entertaining crowds as large as 200 people at a time.

Joining us was Mikael Rudolph. He is a fabulous mime from St. Paul and did two shows for us.

I debuted a new program at the Sonshine Festival. It is an "Extreme Juggling Show" where we pull out all the stops and bring on the fire, knives, and plungers. It went over very well and I plan to keep on offering it.

I'll try to upload more pictures when I get time!

The picture up top is from the Sonshine performance on mainstage. Randy's shirt is visible on the far right of the screen!

Busy Summer!

I am back home for a few days after a fun couple of weeks at camps. I did programs with the family at Lake Geneva Kid's Camp for 2 weeks and we had a blast. 16 programs in 2 weeks! Whew!

Following kid's camp I got to go to a campground in Wisconsin and do 3 more programs myself. The final program I ended up ending with a new routine in which I juggle a torch, a knife, and a plunger while on a rola bola. The audience seemed to really enjoy it and showed that by giving a standing ovation. We all had a lot of fun.

Jugglers in Slacks Roadtrip

I just got back from a 5 state tour with the Juggler's in Slacks. We had a great time street performing in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, and Madison. We made it back and if you are interested in reading more about our adventures you can visit jugglersinslacks.blogspot.com

We are also working on a few videos that will be posted on youtube and on that blog. I'll probably post one of my favorites here for you as well.

Juggling on the Playground

Jugglers in Slacks, minus one, plus one. Addison was spending some time at home, but Dale Carlson jumped in and did stupid stuff in public with Ben and Tony.
