Guelph Juggling Mini-Fest
It's happening again! Out of all the fests in the world, this is the one most hosted by me. Important:
June 18-19 (let me know if you want crash space, we've got it)
University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario
For those not interested in going, you may still get a kick out of the pricing scale:
Price: between $0 - $10 for the entire weekend. Here's how it works:
Start with $10.
New to the mini-fest? Subtract $5.
Came last year, and posted an HLGCBS? Subtract $5.
Promise to post an HLGCBS this year? Subtract $5.
#GuelphJugglingMiniFest (maybe that's the hashtag! I got an error when I tried to write one)
Hi Mike,
Every event needs a unique hashtag, which might have been why you got an error if you tried to use the same hashtag as last year.
Try #GuelphJugglingMiniFest2016 - it should work
Looking at the event listing, I can't view the facebook event - maybe it has been set as private/only viewable to group members/viewable to people invited to it - event publicity imho works best when as many people as possible can see it.
I can't go to Guelph this year, but if I promise to post a HLGCBS can I still subtract $5?

Thanks for the hashtag info.
!! I was sure to switch the event to public, but you're absolutely correct, it's coming up as private on FB. I must've missed something along the way. Irked by this problem, because of events' inabilities to switch post-creation...
Everything should be working now.

Ah cool. Thanks dude!
Mike,
Since I live in Canada and the time is convenient, I'm planning to come to the Guelph Juggling Mini-Fest. Even though it is a smaller gathering, I'm willing to do some kind of "World Record Challenge" as I've done at some past IJA & WJF festivals, if you're open to it.
Mike Moore - - Parent #
Wonderful to hear that! I am certainly open to it. I'll announce it on the Facebook page, as well, to encourage people to start practicing any patterns they have in mind for it.
Mike,
Thanks for the go-ahead on the World Record Challenge at the Guelph Mini-fest. I have made a PDF file with all of the details (rules, existing record categories on Juggle Wiki, list of missing records that you can set, 3 contests with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes).
Here is the dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0h5txpygyosrpl/World%20Record%20Challenge%202016.pdf?dl=0 that you can distribute (e.g. post on facebook) as well.

Fantastic! I've posted it there. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to provide (e.g. tripod, clipboard, etc). Great to have you coming.
For convenience, I made a PDF of all the records on Juggle Wiki: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ylomyvux4y0jmd0/Juggle%20Wiki%20Records%20June%2018%202016.pdf?dl=0
There is an index of the categories on page 2, showing what page to go to for each category. I'll bring a printout of it. See you there.

GUELPH MINI-FEST #HLGCBS
HIGH(s): Lots of 'em! Hanging out and learning from several large handfuls of great jugglers, beautiful weather, wonderful hosts, great juggling spaces, tasty sushi, fun and new juggling games, and more I'm already forgetting about. It was also super sweet to do some funky things with Matan, i.e., 2-ball-drop-from-5-into-7 from a ~30ft balcony (I was dropping, thank goodness), and running an 8 ball shower between the 2 of us via a sloped and channeled 10-foot long staircase railing. Mike ran a great workshop on advanced 3b and 4b, and I was happy to get some of the elbow stall patterns he taught. It was also great juggling with Mike outside of a workshop environment, and I will always be happy to try and absorb any and all box/shower/squeeze patterns from him any time we're in the same room.
LOW: CURRENT EXTREME MUSCLE ACHE.
GOAL: Get a decent run of 7 (just started working on it a few months ago), and was happy to have achieved it! Also, learn some new box/squeeze patterns. Also check.
CRUSH: Mike (for 3b, 4b, and all-around monster), Matan (for numbers/technical precision), Alex (for intense dedication and creativity), Avery (for insane diabolo skills and amazingly funny one-liners), and Naomi (for beautiful and innovative ring juggling/manipulation).
BANE: I APPARENTLY HAVE VERY LOW MUSCLE ENDURANCE.
SURPRISE: Home-made tomato wine is DELICIOUS!
Huge congratulations to Mike for throwing such a wonderful fest. Definitely needs to be a recurring event! And now, ibuprofen.
More Guelph #HLGCBS!
HIGH: Finally getting cross column inverted box. (Thanks Quinn!)
LOW: Missing Sunday...
GOAL: Get some good club passing in, improve numbers form a bit, and get somewhere on some tough 3 ball nonsense. I'd say all three were complete!
CRUSH: I hadn't interacted with anyone capable of doing solid club passing takeouts. Craig did some fun stuff!
BANE: The crushing sensation that everyone else has more time to practice than I do.
SURPRISE: Such a solid crew from Rochester! Super awesome!

My Guelph mini-fest #HLGCBS
High: Flashing 10 balls for the first time!
Low: Being sore after the first few hours.
Goal: Ummmm. I didn't really have a big goal going into the festival.
Crush: Mike Moore for being a ridiculous juggler, even with his eyes closed.
Bane: I can't juggle rings. I tried. They hurt.
Surprise: Going to an all you can eat sushi place. That was awesome, never been to one before.
Thank you Mike Moore for putting on a fantastic, fun festival! Hope it becomes an annual thing!

Highs
Organizing a (mini) juggling fest! Things went more or less as planned: the ~expected number of people came, the games worked out well, and people seemed to have fun.
Wathing juggling videos on the huge screen via projector. Introducing some people to the insanity that is Murakami (and Paul Lind).
The noodles were really worth buying. Noodle fencing, noodle "passing", noodle rings, noodle balancing - they were great!
Lows
Not much! I guess it was sad how few people came back for day two. Waterloo people, where you at?
Goals
Have the fest not suck - check
House the RIT people, and keep them happy - check (though surprisingly little alcohol was consumed)
Run a weird Cranium-inspired juggling game well, and have people enjoy it - check!
Crushes
The RIT people! Y'all are beast.
Emily
All of the people who asked if I needed any help with things.
Bane
Being inexplicadly sick Sunday morning. But I was practically fine by 11:00 am, so that was weird.
Surprises
Getting so much mileage out of the noodles
Happy sushi Saturday night
Nothing going horribly wrong
It would be a shame if all these HLGCBS were not tagged to the event

Thank you. Maybe some day I`ll remember to do that.
