He was an honouree at this year's IJA convention in North Carolina, for his organization and mentoring of young jugglers. Paul, Calder, Davin and I had the pleasure of watching his performance at the Honours banquet on Saturday. He was also using a number of rolla bollas in a manner that made me glad to not be his mother!

That is so totally awesome, and part of what is so great about it is how much Vova seems to be enjoying himself! He makes his audience feel the music and the joy he takes in his performance with it. On a personal note, I met Vova's American legal Guardian, Sue Bakalor. She is the mom of Vova's video director, Mark, and that video was shot completely in Sue's California home, where Vova and his younger sister Olga have been living for the past couple of years. She tried to describe this house to us at the Winston/Salem juggling convention, but words did not do it justice. Ha! Ohmigawd!

Now I can add lots of pictures from a year ago. The cool thing is I was looking through the pictures and I noticed that you can see the club developing right from the beginning. We started using every space that we could get and juggle in it but later we were getting into the gym and getting into the newspaper. I saw the new edition, front page! Very cool to be part of somthing like this. And now we are going to be part of Bowfest just like last year. Im very sorry that I couldn't be there the last past weeks but I have lots of things to do and that can't wait. Tobi Hi Paul,

Nice touch. I want to see pictures of the goofy clown prince, though... you know, that guy who juggles on the ferry? And how about some still pictures of the lot of you maybe?

Normally I am a normal (albeit a knitting) mom, who occasionally juggles, just for variety, but these conventions are so decadently joyful and focussed and GOOFY fun, I must perforce succumb to their siren call. Next year I am going to Lexington, Kentucky with absolutely no idea what that entails, or if it even exists anywhere but in some juggler's imagination, and in the heat of mid-summer (madness!). And I know that, wherever the one for 2009 is located, I will be happy to go, just because these hilarious new friends that are jugglers have decreed the location as Party Central. Yay! You can come, too. I hope you do! Karai OK, it is fair to say I have been permanently corrupted by the fun factor of juggling conventions.

I know we are getting famous, but surely we can be left alone during our meetings? :-D Actually, that was pretty cool, except when my oldest boy climbed a basketball hoop pole in order to juggle and be photographed doing so. Mom is not amused! Bowfest is coming! Bowfest is coming! What am I going to do in the parade? Flags? Poi? Flags AND poi? I might not survive the journey.... What is everyone else doing? In fact, what is everyone else WEARING? Yikes; I forgot about a costume.... Karai OK, I was there last Saturday, and it was fun, but what is with the paparazzi?!?
