 Contact Juggling in Portland, Or
Author: Brad

I just got into CJ about a week ago, and I am finding a very strange coincidence in that it seems about 90% of the resources for CJ are right in my back yard, Portland, OR! For one, I live on 58th and Division...Serious Juggling, which seems to be one of the top 2-3 juggling stores in America, is on 50th and Division. It's a measely 8 blocks from my house, could it be any more convenient? I had mentioned CJ to my girlfriend awhile back and said that I was interested in learning more about it. She picked up on that clue and bought me an acrylic and Ernest's book, Contact Juggling. She was amazed that, after calling around Salem/Corvallis, and searching on the net, she found almost nothing on CJ and nobody even seemed to have ever heard of it, until she finally stumbled across Serious Juggling which was practically in my back yard...

Furthermore, I come to find out that the brand new video, Contact Juggling Part 1 is put together by 2 guys who just graduated from Reed College in Portland, and that the only other video on the market is by David Pennington, also originally from Portland.

So what's with all the links to Portland OR and contact juggling? Is it just fate, or what? It just seems too weird...

Also, if any of you are from Portland, I'd be interested in meeting up, seeing performances or learning some new tips. I am aware that there is an open gym juggling session every Wednesday and will try to make it to that before long, but I go to Western Oregon in Monmouth, so I'm rarely in Portland except on weekends. I'm sure eventually I'll find a way to get there, even on a Wednesday. Any CJers in or near Portland feel free to e-mail me, or just respond to this thread. Thanks.
