Got back very late last night from my two days at the IJA

festival in Madison, Wisc. It was good to visit again after
not attending this juggling festival for five years. I looked up all the top spinners I could find to say "hi". Steve Brown gave me some
nice tips. Mark Hayward is pretty busy helping with the festival
and MC-ing the late night Renegade shows. I met Jeff Peden of
Nebraska throwing his Watts top in the hallway. I never did find
Dale Oliver. It was so sad to have to leave. Hope they are

having a good top spinning workshop which should be taking
place

in just a little bit! Peace, Mike Hout
