EJC2001: 4-12/08/01 - Review by luke burrage: 19/08/01

The Convention Site, The Juggling Population, The Renegade, The Main Show, Rumpole Stiltskin, The last bit.

The renegade was generally crap. Nobody wanted to get on stage and the standard of acts that did wasn't too high. Well, that is my opinion of the renegade I saw but then I didn't see much, just a bit on monday, wednesday and thursday. Here are some photos...

Yes, they fell for the pull your pants down while the compere takes a photo of you trick. Ho ho ho. Hum.

Little Paul threw a potatoe and caught it on a knife. Oh. Wow.

After some guy built sculptures out of juggling props and balanced them on his chin, I tried it with LP but I just stuck the props to his head with tape.

In the end it got a bit silly with Mini and Jules adding chairs and benches to the stack of clubs and rings.

I did an act where I jumped through my hands. Big air. Ya.

Marcel, the most boring act in the history of juggling... er, plate spinning. Here he is doing his tiny plate thing.

And his big plate thing.

Oh, and there was this bit where I stripped off on stage until I was wearing nothing but my convention pass, fashioned into a fetching thong.

Oh yeah! Ho hum.

I want to see what the big show looked like..
