Chocfests - York Juggling Conventions
Hello I'm new here, please love and welcome me!
I'm almost a beginner at juggling but am earnestly practising to overcome that identity ;)
I like chocolate.
I'm looking forward to becoming a part of your community here, you seem like a nice enough lot of folks.

I'm rather partial to lindt lindor truffles at the moment, which isn't a particularly cheap habit.
Can't get enough of Vego Hazelnut vegan chocolate bar myself, also not very cheap.

Are you an expert on chocolate milk by any chance

I'm not one for chocolate milk I'm afraid. I feel it ruins the chocolate, and the milk.

I just love chocolate.
I also like cacao ceremonies.
Yes, I have tried the Mint Conscious Chocolate, it is very good, but indeed super expensive.

They were giving it out for free at the door to the Mind Body Spirit festival in London a few weeks ago. So obviously I made friends with the guy on the door so I could keep going back for more :D

Wow there are some recognisable faces from the past in that video! The University of York Jugglesoc still meet in that room, though the decor has changed slightly.

I found it interesting that several of the jugglers have their feet very close together while juggling. For example the 5 ball juggler at 5 min. Perhaps this was considered correct form at the time?
I often practice things like 5 balls & 3 club back crosses with my heels touching. I think it demonstrates good control to juggle with a stance that is not as stable.
I was watching you practice 5 club back crosses at the bjc. I found it interesting that you lift your feet to take a step to an optimal position on every single throw. Most of the time you put your feet back down on pretty much the same spot you picked them up from so it seemed unnecessary but the fact that you are constantly prepared to step into a different position is probably a very good tactic for getting longer runs. I also think stepping a little on every throw looks a lot better than leaning (one of my bad habits!) or stepping a lot when you've juggled out of reach.
I didn't know I did that, but I do know that I transfer my weight on each throw (the wiggle). This is something I noticed Gatto doing with 5 club backcrosses and it helped me to get longer runs. I use the same technique with alberts. You may be right that it makes movement easier too. Gatto also does this foot shuffle with 6 clubs in time with the throws. Many small steps is definitely better than a few big ones. Move your feet (quoting Gatto, not Garfield).

Oh that's fantastic! Didn't we all look so young 15 years ago!
I'm in there briefly at 2:22 wearing my light blue Aston Uni JUGSoc t-shirt - which I found while rummaging in a box of interesting historical artefacts junk last week.
Thankfully I haven't got the trousers any more.

Earlier this year I had to listen to a student radio station for long periods of time for work. Some of the people on that station made the presenter on this student tv clip seem positively fluid!

The worst thing about it was that it was in the autumn term, so I had to put up with the new intake of inexperienced DJs while they found their way around the studio ... my god it was painful listening
"For work" or "at work"? If the former, I wonder whether you got to re-engineer them, or grade them, or refragilise their dmx processor uploader circuits. (Or something that sounds more convincing.)

I was given the task of making some "Internet radios" work with the university wireless (not always an easy task getting consumer appliances to talk to enterprise grade wifi networks. Assumptions which hold true in a household of 4 people don't always hold true on a network used by 25000 people) so that the student radio station could be streamed to various bars and cafés around campus.
This involved "soak testing" the setup to make sure it would continue to work over a long period of time without dropping off the network or dropping the stream. Which I could only do by listening to them drivel on about all those things which I'm sure were really important to me in my student days but which I have no interest in almost 20 years on.
Hearing their "golden oldies" section playing music from 2002 did make me spit my tea out though
