18th Annual Free Coop Community Party

Wren and I were part of the Coop Annual Party this year. We came early to help Jason set up his tent, and helped teach juggling and other circus goodies to anyone interested. Then we paraded and performed, then taught circus some more.

 Karl was the mastermind behind it all.

 

There was a "Cooperative Circus Show" there with Poki, Karla and Carl, Strangely and Faith, Jason Quick, Clay, Aralia of Intuitive Compass, and Wren and me (doing our rope and juggle act). You can see a quick action shot of our juggling in this video here!

 

Deakin Hicks and Eneko played for part of the afternoon, along with Yogoman.

 Wren and I were caught learnin' tricks, so were thrown in the paddy wagon (it was the first time either of us had been in the back of a police car... they're super uncomfortable!).

 The whole event made for a long day, but a good one. At the end of this, we drove to Conway to try out for the "Amuse" show... and we got it!

Cirque Du Salon at Sandalwood

Jason Quick, Wren, Chipps, Lucas, Thomas, and I, all performed for the Sandalwood Salon's 10 year anniversary show during the art walk! It was tons of fun, the employees were dressed to the circus-inspired nines!

Wren and I did our rope act, our high-five juggling, and I did my chair dance, and stood atop Jason while attempting to get an egg on a stick, as he layed on the bed of nails... yipes! Chipps was on stilts until the end, when the 3 fellas juggled fire outside. Then we went to our friend Collin's Classy birthday party... photos in that post. What a great night!

The Real Food Show

It seems like the project was a success. The Real Food show performed for 10 elementary schools in Bellingham, thanks to the idea and sponsorship of the Bellingham Food Coop. Here we are at the annual Food Coop meeting, showing a snippit of the show... where we stack up the proteins, and Frank balances them on his face, just long enough for Beans to get excited and congratulate him with a vigorous pat on the back.

 Here we are at Boundary Bay during a food-sense program.

 I love that the kids were front and center!!! And then off center for this trick under the tent.

 The team (plus Amber... who'se definitely been part of the team)!

 Beans, energetically talking about real food.

 Beans is a real-food cheer-leader... without actually being a cheer-leader!

Here we are during our first dress-rehearsal. Juggling different sized and shaped things are obviously still a new skill I will eventually hone.

The kids go crazy for this part.

 I've had a great time performing this show, and feel a huge love for it. I'm so happy that the Coop and the schools also appreciate this show and want us back next year!!!
