Saturday I learned to juggle as a kid in the 70s and really started to get into juggling in 1992. I got torches in January of 1993 and immediately went out to the local pedestrian mall to try them out and see if I could get some coin. I only had a few tricks and was dropping a lot, when …
EJC Lublin 2023 Review
Saturday EJC was a short walk from the train station and in the early afternoon when I got there, registration was super quick and organized. I love the venue with tons of grass and trees surrounding the main hall. So I quickly set up my tent and got out my props and headed to the hall. I quickly recognized lots …
EJC 2022 in Tres Cantos, Spain
At the airport, there were many Israeli jugglers making a scene. This year around 100 of my compatriots were coming to EJC, many veterans and many for their first time. Many I know, many I don’t. Throughout the week I will hear Hebrew everywhere. Since I was a day early, I got to see a bit of Madrid and did …
Berlin Juggling Convention, 2018
Directions to BJC were easy to follow and as I neared the site, I saw stenciled clubs pointing me in the right direction. I arrived just as they were opening the gates. They give everyone a temporary pass which you can only upgrade to a proper pass if you do volunteer work. I took the first shift of badge control …
EJC 2016 Review
EJC 2016 was in Almere, the Netherlands from July 30-August 7. I managed to arrive in Amsterdam a day early, so after I settled into my hostel, I strolled around Nieuwmarkt and Dam square. The city is certainly like the stereotypes: cannabis wafting through the streets, drug-related gifts and paraphernalia in all the tourist shops, bicycles zipping everywhere, cheese shops, …

EJC 2014 – General Review
This was my third EJC. Aside from the previous Millstreet in 2006, I was in Munich in 2011. There is so much to write about, so this review is going to be divided into several parts: In this one, I’ll give a general overview of EJC 2014 with many of the events and goings-on. Part two will talk about the …
