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.

Um, I had this photo left over at the end... just me playing with wasps.

Final thought:

Now, after you've looked at all the pictures and read my views on what happened at the convention, it might seem like I had a bad time or didn't enjoy myself much. Actually, I had a fantastic holiday in Holland, it was very relaxing not having to do anything I didn't want to. Sure, I missed out on most of the organised events and shows, slept on the floor of the gym and had a bad cold and bleeding nose all week. That doesn't mean I didn't have a good time.

Personal high point: On the ferry over to Holland the group I was going with decided to commit themselves to "EJC Resolutions", something they had to achieve by the end of the week. If they didn't make it, they had to pay a forfiet of a dead arm and chinese burns. The resulutions ranged from getting 50 catches with 5 balls, through learning how to spin a staff, to getting sex. Mine was learning to bounce a ball on my head. I didn't learn it but I tricked the judges into believing I had... ok, that's maybe not that much of a high point, just an amusing story... all week was a high point... no, wait, the topless women in the pool were pretty cool.

Personal low point: Most people would say the rain. I would say not getting the filming done for that film we wanted to make. Maybe next year.

I want to look at some other photos and reviews....
