event details:

The biggest juggling convention in the world has become a mecca for poi spinners and twirlers of all types. This year's event will be near Athens, Greece. I'm hoping to get there. Either way it's an event worth going to. Days full of workshops, nights full of performances and silly juggling people having fun.

I've missed the Play Festival for the past few years, and I had to listen to everybody go on at great length about how fun it was, and this year I'm going to get there some how. So there.

Organized by the Mighty Duncan, the Play Festival is England's most loved and attended poi/staff/silliness gathering. Music, performances, bands, games, debauchery, silly English people and their non-Englsh friends. Go to this event if you can. I will be there. You'll know me by my cool new pants.

Glade Festival is another renowned England music festival. I have a lot of friends going, including some special people from North America. I'm very much looking forwards to seeing my European community and North American community overlap.

...Note that I will only be there if I can afford to fly to Europe and buy a ticket. You're welcome to sponsor me.

Everybody tells me that this is the most chilled-out, enjoyable, don't-miss juggling convention around, and all my favourite twirlers go. It's ten days long. Drew told me that the first year he went he was just checking it out for the afternoon, and didn't leave for eight days... or soemthing like that.

Anyway, I'll be there unless I get some kind of can't-refuse offer. I won't be doing any official workshops or anything, thank goodness, but I'll be playing with everybody and we'll get a lot of poi inspiration going.

No website for this one, as far as I can tell.
