Due to Hurricane Irene, a power outage at Lloyd Hall has caused tonight's juggling meeting to be canceled. If you call Lloyd Hall at 215-685-3936, you will hear a recording about the building closure. No meeting next week 9/5 due to Labor Day, so the next Philadelphia Jugglers Club meeting will be on 9/12. Please pass this information to all your juggling friends so they don't waste their time driving to Lloyd Hall tonight for nothing. |

NYC's 10th juggling festival! Details coming soon at http://jugglenyc.com/fests.html. This is always a great festival with tremendous attendance, amazing workshops and a jaw-dropping show.
The festival will be at the Pratt Institute, 200 Willoughby Ave, Brooklyn NY. You can use this map to generate directions (just click on the pushpin and select "directions to here).
According to Matt "from Pratt" Guzzardo, this may be the last year for the NYC festival, as Pratt Institute is no longer willing to host after this year. The date was just approved on short notice, so please help pass the word to all jugglers you know!
While there is ample parking at Pratt, many Philly jugglers like to carpool to this festival to save on gas and tolls. If you are interested in carpooling to this festival, please go the front page of our site and sign up for the Google group/email list at the bottom of the page if you haven't already. From there you can email the group. Be sure to provide appropriate contact information and indicate whether you are offering or seeking a ride (or if you are open to either option). Even if you're not looking to carpool, please sign up for the group anyway as we also use this group to pass the word about important items like last-minute club meeting cancellations or changes. |

Entertaining
audiences for over thirty years, the Flying Karamazov Brothers (FKB)
combine slapstick comedy, physical theater, exuberant music, and
world-class juggling for a hilarious and engaging show. Their
performances are full of puns and bad jokes: a sense of humor that is
part Monty Python and part Marx Brothers. FKB will have young and old
rolling in the aisles with laughter. "They are as nimble of wit as they
are deft of hand and your mouth will open wide in laughter no less than
in awe." - John Simon, New York Magazine. This performance of the Flying
Karamazov Brothers is being presented October 23, 2010 at 7:30 PM, in conjunction with Reading Area
Community College's Celebration of Education Gala. Masquerade dress
encouraged!
Tickets are Tickets: $27 Advance, $32 Door, $20 Student (RACC), and can

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, be sure to check out " Groundhog Hour" at the Greene Street Theater. Inspired by the classic Bill Murray film Groundhog Day, David
Smith explores the repetition of a performer's life. With anecdotes and
routines from his years as a juggler and circus performer, Dave shares
what he has learned from doing the same 60-minute show over and over
again. This show is part of the Philly Fringe Festival and promises to be very entertaining. Show times are Friday-Sunday, 9/3-9/5 at 8:00 PM, with an additional matinee Sunday 9/5 at 3:00 PM. Tickets are $15 and are available at http://www.pafringe.com/details.cfm?id=13689. |
