| Try to keep prop bags out of the
middle of the floor (by having wall space for them) and don't allow things
like personal *furniture* to take up value juggling space in the gym. |
|
|

|
|

| Don't hold 3 years in a row

|
| Winston-Salem was difficult and
expensive to get to. The hotel rooms were quite expensive, there were no
tourist attractions nearby, there were few decent restaurants within walking
distance of the festival, and there was too much second hand smoke around.
The facilities were fine, apart from the awful carpet and the main gym being
too small, but the festivals I remember most fondly were the ones where the
town was cool as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Great festival. My wife actually enjoyed
it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| convention center based
festivals are lame, the IJA needs to get back to the University based event,
with more affordable housing and nicer towns. Winston, Davenport, Reading,
Fargo, Niagra Falls these towns are dumps. Crummy locations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Please try to find a gymnasium
with better lighting for juggling. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| That was a magnificent festival.
Keep up the good work. |

|
| I think that for the bulk of the
IJA members (I could be wrong) I think this is what they mostly care about
getting from the IJA: a festival to gather at once a year. Everything else
comes after that. |

| john was awesome! the smoking
lounge was cool! you just need a bigger space then it would have been the
best! |

| Better lighting and bigger space
without carpet would make it the perfect location. |
|

|
| I would have liked an N/A button
for some of the questions on this survey, since I didn't attend many of the
events. |

|
|
| Thanks so much!!! |

|
| It really was a big plus that
there was so much within walking distance (hotel, restaurants, theater,
gym). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We should find someplace that
has a gym that we can all fit in comfortably. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Scrap the ice cream social and
replace it with a breakfast cereal social. Everyone loves cereal! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Need names on both sides of
badges. Hard to check them at the door and 1/2 time could not read the
name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Winston Salem police suck
because all they do is give out parking tickets. |
|

|
|
|
|
| thanks for an incredible week! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
| Make the banquet and ice cream
social optional |
|

|
| The floor pattern made diabolist
dizzy, also picture id's would be nice, similar to one at Magic Live
convention (ask Alan Howard for details) those were nice and a great
souvenier |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Avoid Winston-Salem. |

| Winston-Salem? You have got to
be freaking kidding me. Who the hell wants to go to W-S? The space was weak
and the city sucks. Montreal, Burlington, Las Vegas -- those are places
people want to go. Plus I'd like it if we could return to college campuses (I
realize this may not be possible). There was a feeling of a fest, not the
dilution of energy when we are stuck in a convention center in the middle of
a crappy city. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| come back to Winston-Salem! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Find a place with more SELECTION
in accommodations (including some camping right nearby, perhaps a college
with cheap dorms, lots of inexpensive motels nearby, etc.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| After coming back home stoked to
be a part of the IJA I went the IJA message board to see what people were
saying, and though it started good the posts turned political which
completely turned me off and dampened my IJA spirit. I know this is what
happens with things so big but it was a kind of let down to such a wonderful
weekend. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Camping; make it an event that
young adults can afford, not just kids and their parents. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| See you in Kentucky! |
|

|
| The IJA Festival in a lot of
ways is like drinking from a firehose. There's a lot going on, and I have to
make decisions about what I'm going to have to miss. Too bad it can't be a
month! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes. Let your emcees finish
their jobs presenting material hosting chapmionships when the judging results
are in. Isn't "presentation" 40-50% of what they are supposedly
judging in the first place?? It is hypocritical (and despicable) to disregard
their performance, even if the results have to wait another 30.5 seconds. If
you don't trust your Emcee to do a good job, then don't entrust him or her
with the honor and work in the first place. Don't give a hard working,
seasoned performer a huge job only to suddenly render them irrelevant. In so
doing, you symbolically defacate on the beautiful relationship that performer
has been building with the audience throughout the evening. I know some
people didn't notice this because all some jugglers care about is technical
execution, but I think this reflects a tragic lack of balance. I almost
regret filling out this survey because it brought up such an ugly memory. I
look forward to seeing how the IJA deals with this concept and the position
it purports to assume in the future. If all I cared about was technical
juggling I would forgo the IJA for the WJF!!! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| For future fest sites, consider
St. Louis (again), Cleveland, Baltimore (again), and places with ocean
access. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It would be a plus to be able
to obtain food/sodas on site and to have more/better places to eat within
walking distance (say within a 1/4 to 1/2 a mile) I'd be interested in a
workshop on how to select juggling equipment (clubs, diablos, balls, etc.) --
comparing the different makes, when you use which, sizes/weights/material,
etc. I ordered t-shirts for myself and a friend. I did not realize that there
would be 2 colors and would have liked to have been able to get the t-shirts
in the blue color. Unfortunately, they'd run out of the blue in my friend's
size. The registration form allowed one to pick the size, but not the color.
In the future, if you're going to have multiple colors, could you let people
pick the color when they order their t-shirts? I think having more
beginner-level activities would be a plus. I have only the most rudimentary
of juggling skills -- a 3-ball cascade, a reverse cascade, a few simple
exchanges and steals, and maybe 10 club tosses before dropping them. I was
surprised at how many other attendees were either at a similar level or did
not juggle at all -- mostly parents or partners of jugglers). I also think
more games would be a plus given the large number of children. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Overall, still one of the best
I've attended |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| volunteering to help with the
festival seems to consist entirely of sitting at the door and checking badges
or being a stage hand. is that really all the organizers need help
with? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The trading cards where great
fun. I would suggest that you give at least 2 more cards in the initial pack
then there are in a complete set. This allows you to continue to play the
game after you have a complete set. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Best fest I can remember in a
long time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It will be hard to beat this
festival. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A free evening during the week
might be nice. Having a show every night leaves little time for sightseeing
or juggling in the gym. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Good work John Satriano! |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
| Really enjoyed the week |
|

|
| I believe we need to arrange for
more rooms to be available at the main hotel. I phaned for a reservation on
the day the motels were officially announced and there were no non - smoking
rooms left. I arrived early on Sunday before the festival and recieved a non
- smoking room, but I know of several people who were not so lucky. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I had a great time and look
forward to next year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I'm tired of having to travel to
the east coast all the time. I'd like to have a festival in the west
again. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Things I didnt rate,I didnt
see.Really, congratulations on an excellent festival |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Another festival in Winston
Salem! (Congratulations to a board and event staff that really worked
together! ) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| If the IJA wants to see large
festival turnouts, I think it needs to have festivals that are easier to get
to. After attending many festivals, it seems that travel and festival costs
will balance themselves out--if it costs more to stay somewhere, it's usually
cheaper to get there, and vice versa. I would rather pay slightly more for a
festival package and be able to take 1 flight in and easily get to my hotel
than driving 2+ hours from a major airport to save $300 per person in
airfare. This might also make it easier for the IJA as they would probably
not have to arrange for shuttle services since they would already be in
place. I feel easier travel would encourage more people to attend. |

|
|
| great hotels both very nice and
close to convention |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A parade! European festivals
have them and they're a great way to announce to the community that there's
something happening downtown. And the parade is a lot of fun - you could
invite local bands and youth groups to join in the festivities and have the parade
end at the convention center. Have a mid-week half-day trip outside the
convention scheduled for non-juggling spouses or those who'd like a break to
explore the area with friends. A scheduled guided trip to Old Salem one
morning, for example, would have been nice. We went on our own and really
enjoyed it. |
|

|
| I served as a volunteer
Embassador and look forward to doing it again. To promote the next IJA
Festival before, during and after the event, event tees and bags should be
given away before, during and after the event as an award for some
interactive participation. For example, before the Kentucky festival, local
clubs can do public interactive (at a mall, hospital, day care center parent
meeting, school, library, etc.) demonstrations with a bag going to the
participants. Do it at a charitable event and try to get free publicity in
local newspapers. Offer an additional incentive for coming to the festival
with the bag, or wearing the tee shirt or bringing as many people as you
can/nora |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Some fire activity would have
been fun... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I'd like to see the IJA be held
in a large city with the ability to have people stay in dorm type settings or
to have camping. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The convention center may be
near the hotel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I am really looking forward to
Lexington. The questions I did not answer were programs I did not attend
since I did not arrive until Wednesday. I really enjoyed the choreography
workshop because the ideas he presented could be used in other aspects of life,
not just juggling. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This was the best Juggle event
of any kind i have ever attended. John Satriano is to be commended for his
efforts. The IJA is lucky to have him, and all of the miserable complainers
should just shut up and go away. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| thanks for everything! it was my
first one and i loved it! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Thanks! I had a lot of fun at
the festival. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It was really fun. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the venue at w-s was a pleasure.
getting there and the environs were lower on the scale. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I'm an east coast person and it
was easy to get to, but I wouldn't want to deal with that space again. The
fest coordinators deserve much credit, can't wait for the next one |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pick a location with an
AIRPORT. A college campus would provide more housing options. Pick a city or
location with a night life -- not just festie people on the streets at night.
Have a forum/get together for new people -- not just monday night -- some people
cannot show up until later in the week -- have it a few times during the
festival. At the end of the week have an open meeting where folks can sit
around and talk with organizers and board members (it would field these kinds
of questions) about the fest and about IJA in general. Send survey (like this
one) results to the membership -- if people are not interested they can just
delete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ensure that the hotel continue
to provide filtered water throughout the event - not just during weekday
business hours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| None. You all obviously know
what you're doing. Thank you for the hard work. My family had a great
time! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I liked that it was in
Winsotn-Salem becuase of it's close proximity to me, but the city itself did
not seem to have much to offer - at least close by to the convention
center. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The gym is very important to my
festival experience. It has to have very hight ceilings, be very well lit for
juggling, cool and dry, and have at least some surface good for bouncing. The
gym should not be split. If I'm going to take time out from my work and
travel to a big festival, I want an optimal juggling experience. If my memory
is still good, I think the best gym for an IJA festival that I attended was
the gym at the 1997 festival in Pittsburgh. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Big poster for workshops, maybe
dry erase for add-ons. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The Winston Salem location is by
far the best location of all the many IJA festivals I've ever been to. I
recommend it as the most prefered location for all IJA festivals |
|

|
| BACK WEST IN 2009!!! california
sounds good :] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Big thanks to all who put the
2007 fest together. Had a great time! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Food. There were snack bars in
the Convention Centre and not a one open. It would have been good to have
food more convienent. Maybe some cart vendors like we had in Madison. You
could have had indoor camping on the bottom floor. How about a collage dorm
that might be close by for some low priced housing. Just a thought. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Great fest, thanks! |
|

| Nope. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Get rid of the current egotistic
IJA leadership and find some younger people to put more life back into the
IJA. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I want cheaper fests. Find
camping. Stop catering only to the older wealthier jugglers. |
|
|
|
|

|
| Sad to hear many DVDs will be
unavailable that were available in previous years. |
