I might be up for coming. When exactly would the trials workshop be? I
have a few simple obstacles (not very impressive, unless you already
ride trials) that I might be able to bring, and a friend, mark, has a
few skinnies he might be able to bring.

The trials workshop is whatever the trials guys want to make it. It
looks like there are some good trials obstacles in the courtyard, but
if you can bring anything I'm sure someone would jump on it.

What a great festival! There was more unicycling at this festival than
any other juggling festival I've ever been to. That's thanks to Tom
Holub plus the other volunteers who made it happen. Our weekend was
something like this:

Arrive around noon Saturday with Beau and Scot. Play around then attend
John Foss's Uni skills workshop. Uni basketball, juggling, dinner at
the Pyramid Brewery, and the Public Show. Great acts - the crowd loved
John's act featuring many unicycles plus his killer: riding his
artistic bike in circles, standing on seat/handlebars, while juggling 3
clubs. Afterwards, played in the gym until it closed at 10, then hung
out at a local bar/awesome pizza place until 12.

Sunday arrived at 10am for the 8 mile distance ride. We had 15+ riders,
on 26 to 54" (equivalent) wheeled unicycles. Plus the Critical Mass
sound system pulled on bike trailer. This made for a very loud rolling
party and was my favorite event of the weekend. We rode down to the
marina - perfect weather. Too bad it had to end. Afterwards, unicycle
hockey and other games: obstacle course (won by Beau), tug-o-war, and a
mass chaos game played with velcro tags attached to the seat. Last
rider with the flag wins - it was Tom Holub. Lunch at a Thai restaurant
a quick Coker ride away. Then a nice Muni ride in Joaquin Miller park.
We left early, but stayed for 2 out of the 3 downhill laps. These
trails are short but quite technical - really fun and challenging. 10
year old Sam and 14 year old Mark were awesome riders.

I've posted some photos and videos he

Check out the ones from the rolling party!

The Lodi Juggling Festival, was a long-standing Northern California
October tradition I've attended every year since 1993. It is no more,
but the 'Berkeley Juggling and Unicycling Festival'
(http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~juggle/festival/) looks like it will take
over. There were over 200 participants for the 1st annual, sure to
increase next year.

See you there next year.
