With the threat of rain the good wise leaders of juggling in Oakland have chosen to move Wednesday Juggling to Thursday. So come and join us outside Purnel Center for Performing Arts between 4:00 and 6:30 PM this Thursday. So please do not come out this evening. Please join us Thursday.
I would like to welcome all the new folks to the group. If there is something that you would like to learn please let me know. We have extra equipment we only bring out when it is needed. We also have some very talented people who would like to share theirs skills with you. All they need to know is who wants to learn what. A couple of folks asked about juggling fire or swords. As for swords I have a good set of practice swords that I will bring on Thursday. They do not have a sharpened blade on them but are correct in all other ways. I will ask you to prove that you can juggle clubs before we let you try the swords. Even though they are not sharp they are still heavy and not a good first step clubs. As for fire we are not allowed to do this on CMU property. The Steel City Clown Brigade has a couple of places where we juggle fire. If we have several people interested we can get a permit for Duck Hollow which is a fifteen minute bus ride from the CMU Campus. For the two people just interested in Fire Poi we have a place we do this weekly on the South Side. You can email me if you are interested in the weekly Poi or if you would like to participate or watch a larger meeting. I will warn everyone doing fire in public spaces in Pittsburgh, there is a Barbeque Law. If you have an open flame in a public park you must have a good and recently inspected fire extinguisher. The current Pittsburgh Fire Marshall has judged that fire blankets are not adequate. They have fined people who did not have fuel in the correctly color coded certified containers. The best thing is to keep your white gas or lighter fluid in it's original container. A new AB extinguisher with a powdered flame retardant is not toxic to people. Of course the best defense is juggling competence and not setting yourself on fire. To the people who ordered masks online Tuesday or today your masks will be ready Thursday. You can pick them up at the juggling welcome table outside Purnell Hall between 4:00 and 6:30 PM. If you need or want cotton face masks you can order them at http://www.steelcityclownbrigade.org. There is a google thing a ma bob that walks you through the process. If anyone would like to help make masks we are teaching sewing and have a couple extra machines. We are also willing to teach people how to sew. Email me if you are interested. For those that made it thus far here is a cute video from Casual Geography: https://youtu.be/HOfP6TG_zuI SR Gailey Secretary of the CMU Masters of Flying Objects and just too busy sometimes.
