This was my first ever IJA festival and I'm totally hooked. I have actually only attended one other juggling-related event at all, ever, and that was this year's Congress of Jugglers. I now plan on attending every possible juggling related moment within a reasonable day's driving radius of Washington, DC, and probably some outside that radius, funding permitting. I want to thank everyone for being so incredibly wonderful and nice to a lost and lonely newcomer, especially the Howard family, Patricia, Sky King, Michael from the hostel, Jade, and several more people who I can picture vividly but whose names I cannot recall. Hey, I warned you all when I met you that I'm awful with names! I guess that learning everyone's name is further incentive for attending more! more! more juggling events! I took a metric buttload of photos and will be putting them online in the next week or so. Normally they'd already be up, but my server was hacked and my whole gallery site (along with a lot of other stuff) has croaked. I'll post the url when they're up. Thanks everyone, for a memorable and fantastic week! Now I just need a month to recover... --
