I mentioned to several of you that we had a reporter coming from an on-line "magazine" called Examiner.com to talk about our happy little band -- and whether it is an appropriate place to invite kids and/or grownups.
So last Saturday, Eryn Travis (yes, that's her real name!) paid us a visit, talked with me for about 30 minutes, then interviewed several other Turks Heads, and got some nice photos. You can get to the article by clicking here: http://www.examiner.com/x-22075-South-Philadelphia-StayatHome-Moms-Examiner~y2009m9d1-Introduce-kids-to-juggling-with-Turks-Head-Jugglers
In the article, she stresses the appropriateness of the group for kids, because that was the initial intent of the article. I appreciate the fact that she included the idea that we are not a babysitting service, nor are we a formal teaching facility -- and that we expect everyone in attendance to behave in an adult rational manner. (Other than the fact that we stand around for hours throwing things up in the air and trying to catch them... I'm not sure everyone would agree that this qualifies as a serious "adult" behavior. But I digress.)
Anyway, Eryn and I would both appreciate it if you took a look at the article and gave some comment -- good, bad, or indifferent.
And please don't miss the short "slideshow" towards the end of the article!
