Jug-o-Jugglers Fan Thread

[yeti_cat]

Hey, if LAFF can have their own thread, I think Brian, Michael, and Ingrid should get one, they're around all year.

Basically I wanted to just start a place where we can say whether or not we like certain bits they do and maybe share some juggling info. I'm a juggler myself and maybe I could answer some "how do they DO that!?" questions.

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

I only saw them for like ten minutes, but they're pretty cool.

I LOVE the Jug 'O Jugglers! They have such talent and their complete insane craziness makes me love them! I've watched every year and I think that 2004 was the best year by far. I hope they finally made a great match. Brian, Michael, and Ingrid seem to have great chemistry and work great with each other.

My favorite acts are when they start off juggling 3 and they keep throwing more in until they have 6 (I think it's 6 that they end up with), Michael balancing the ladder for 10 seconds (it just seems like it would hurt plus how can he keep that up there for 10 seconds???) and basically anything Ingrid does. Her facial expressions just make me crack up!!!

So yes I am a Jug 'O Juggler junkie.

When i saw the jugglers back in 02 it was Brian, Brad, Doug and steve. I miss Doug and steve.

Jug 'o Junkie...bwahaha!
It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Since thanksgiving I've been trying my hand at juggling fire. Its good fun, but I got to give these guys credit, that stuff's hard to do when its windy!

I still have the carrot! ((yeti_cat, you know what I mean))

[punkbunny24242]

You got the carrot! That's their wonderful pre-show carrot trick right. Watch us make the carrot dissapear. CRUNCH.. yummy I love those guys.. and girls.

Time to bring up this topic again....

I'm a little worried because on http://www.sixflags.com it does not say anything about the Jug 'O Jugglers under shows and events?!?! I thought last year they were mentioned. Does this mean that they will not be back this year? I really really hope not because everyone of my 43 trips to SFGA last year on the days that they were performing I saw them.

To anyone that has the brochure does it mention them inside?? Any help would be much appriciated

[technop]

They usually perform DURING Kids Fest but i didnt see KIDS FEST listed either this year

[punkbunny24242]

Last year they performed off and on almost all season long on Manny B's days off. I am looking at the 2004 brochure and they were listed under "Spectacular Shows - Theatre Royal"

One day they even performed just in the midway over by the Cartoon Cabin shop. That was neat because you were standing right next to them while they were performing their stunts.

I hope there back! It's always intertaining, Once they hit my friend with a pin.... It was amuzing.! There awesome and would hate not to see them again!

[yeti_cat]

I talk to brian occasionally, and he had said something about comign back again. My friend who talked to him at U of I for a juggling festival said that they're hoping to get a show again. The juggling show's always been a sort of iffy thing. He never knows when he's gonna get a gig at six flags, it just tends to happen...or so I've inferred from the way he talks.

If they're not there I'd be so sad.... I want to show them how much better I am. I can pass real well now...and I'm hoping to get help with my five ball patterns

[punkbunny24242]

Yeti defnitley keep up with the juggling! That's awesome. I love juggling but I just can't do it and thanks for the info!

I hope that it will be Brian, Matt, and Ingrid again this year (if they come back)! They really worked well with another and all had great personalities.

[yeti_cat]

I hope that it will be Brian, Matt, and Ingrid again this year

Its brian, michael, and ingrid...not matt
and yeah, i love them, they should totally keep together.

[punkbunny24242]

Brain freeze

Michael.. Matt.. all the same. Just kidding. I should have kown that because I had a little mini crush on Michael. Everytime we were at the park and I said let's go see Jug 'O Jugglers my fiance would say "So you can go see your BOYFRIEND" 25 is a little old to have a crush huh? All in good fun. A cute guy juggling fire and knives... now that's HOTT.

[yeti_cat]

lol, yeah jugglers are hott... They're good with their hands and they're good with their balls, what else would you want?

[punkbunny24242]

So..... Jug 'O Jugglers are back this year but only Brian is back from last year

The 2 new guys are good too I just don't sense the same chemistry. It still was a wonderful show to watch!

[danieln84]

I remember when they were Brian, doug, steve and brad. anyone else remember that? i think that was back in 2003.

[punkbunny24242]

Yeah those were some more hotties

I don't remember which one had the long blonde hair?? I think it was Brad??

[yeti_cat]

Thats before my time I believe so far as the teams before last years.

This new team Brian found, Tobin and David, are excellent passers, better than Brian perhaps. I like that he found some people that are a little higher on the talent scale than previous years. Someone who can actually do cigar boxes, people who can pass really well, and a guy that can stand on his hand for a REALLY long time. I think this group might impress a little more, they're good enough to not only impress the general audience, but other jugglers and circus folk as well. One of my least favorite things is watching a show and going, "I can do that, and that, and that...". I like a group that I can sit back and go, " I can do that, and that...WOAH, not THAT!"

Why are there so many hottie jugglers? Lol.

[loveatfirstfright03]

i even participated 3 times for brian tobin and david they are really really good when it comes to having some one in the middle and having them pass clubs. theres one show that they did on thursday where tobin and david were on unicycles and i was standing in the middle for them to pass clubs to eachother and brian was like " this is not going to work you are going to get hit on the side of your head" it was pretty funny

[loveatfirstfright03]

i say the jugglers should be moved back to the mardi gras stage and move manny b to the market

[loveatfirstfright03]

any one agree with me about the jugglers being put back on mardi gras because manny b has been playing on market stage since he started

[LAFFfan4lyfe]

i think the market stage is fine, as long as your Jugglers get to do their thing.



triple posting......*tsks*

[loveatfirstfright03]

i say the market stage is to small for them because they hit the fan when they juggle the pins
