Also, at some point I’ll be doing a workshop in San Francisco that will be called “Hooping for guys who don’t hoop.” More on that soon.

Dude! You’re still coming to the HP Retreat???! That is the best news I’ve gotten all day. I hope it works out, Bro. Honored, man, truly.
I think the NW gathering is the weekend of the 10 – 12th.
nice man…i will be at a lot of those things too. but i want to know more about this NW Hoop Gathering…any excuse to go back up to Oregon! Which btw, I am from the Portland area…born and raised.
wow! what a schedule! yippie! I will see you in Bend & Fire Drumz for sure! If we can score cheap flights we will make LIB happen too!!! YAY for more hoop time! yip yip!
*sigh* If only my schedule looked that exciting! I’ll be going to Burning Man and Hoop Camp, I feel like I’m pushing the edges of my vacation time just with those! :)
Looks like our paths will cross a lot in ‘09. This is good! Can’t wait to show y’all ’round the town of Carrboro.
Hey Rich, are you teaching at Hoop Camp? This might be the only thing I can make this year.
