Juggling in Sydney

January 22nd, 2010

Well, the SJC2010 is on tomorrow.  We’re all very excited.  Tour guide Shane has been taking our guests to beaches and things, so they are getting the Australian experience.  No surfing koalas yet, though!

It’s good to see that they’re all working for their pay as they became part of the HalfBaked sweatshop, pretty much as I write this.

Also, the SJC is in the MX today.  Nice picture boys!

Well, the Sydney Juggling Convention is almost here!  We’ve been busy getting last minute stuff organised and we can’t wait for next weekend!

Jugglers from out of state and overseas are starting to arrive, so this week’s Newtown Juggling on Wednesday and Friday’s juggle in Hyde Park should be fun.

Sirkus Circus tickets are selling fast.  Don’t leave it until the convention to get tickets for your friends and family, you can buy them now from the HalfBaked Store, or at www.factorytheatre.com.au.

With a great line up of performers including Tempe and MCP from last year’s Sirkus Circus and lotsa new stuff like our special guest Wes Peden it is going to be the highlight of the weekend.

Check out www.sydneyjuggling.com.au for any last minute info about SJC2010 and Sirkus Circus.

Peats Ridge

January 3rd, 2010

Peats Ridge Festival was lotsa fun again.  I can’t believe how many people were there doing circus stuff!

I got to see Circus Avalon do their show and it was good.  I liked the juggling the best (of course), including the slappy trick. I’m sure I’ve seen that trick somewhere before….

I was going to hunt jugglers down and do some passing on New Year’s Eve but it started raining so we were forced to play poker all day in Nick’s van.  Hopefully we’ll catch up at the SJC.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

HalfBaked are off to the Peat’s Ridge Festival for New Year.  We went last year to teach workshops and it was lots of fun so we are very happy to be going again.  Pictures will follow!

One last reminder that early bird tickets for the 2010 SJC finish at the end of this year.  They’ll still be available on the site in the new year, but the price goes up to $100. We much appreciate all those who preregister, it means we can bring you the best convention possible, and the SJC2010 is shaping up very well.

Sirkus Circus tickets are available for your friends and families from the HalfBaked store and also directly from the venue at: www.factorytheatre.com.au

It’s going to be a fantastic show with all our international guests and favourite jugglers but also lots of other circus acts, so there will be something for everyone. 

See you next year!

Hooray!  The MJC09 DVD is complete!  It is for the ages!

If you didn’t preorder you can buy a copy through the site.  While you’re there you might want to also pick up a nice Sirkus Circus ticket, or perhaps a shiny SJC10 earlybird pass.

MJC09 DVD Update

The MJC09 DVD is coming along nicely and should be on schedule for pre-Christmas mailout for all pre-orders.  Yay!

At the SJC end of the HalfBaked loungeroom things are all starting to come together.

Wes Peden, Tempei Arakawa, Bob Carr and MCP are all confirmed guests with many more to come. Remember,  early bird tickets are available until the end of the year, then the price goes up.

The Sirkus Circus show will be on at the Factory Theatre, Marrickville again.  Tell all your family and friends to come!  It is reserved seating this year so make sure you get in early. Tickets will be available through us soon, and also at  www.factorytheatre.com.au.

Get it now!

October 18th, 2009

There is a lot of footage from the MJC this year (all of it good, of course), so it is taking us a while to get through it all.

We have put a pre-order product up in the shop so you can get in early and order one if you like.

Talking of getting in early you can also buy an early bird 4 day pass for next years Sydney Juggling Convention.  They are only $80 for the whole convention, including shows, which is an absolute bargain if you ask me. Makes a great Christmas present too!

MJC 2009

September 23rd, 2009

HalfBaked had a great time at the MJC again this year.  Our workshop on club take-outs went really well and we all enjoyed all the workshops we attended.

It was also great to catch up with everyone, including Matt Hall who was a fantastic convention guest as always.

There was much filming done, with about 13 hours of just Renegade and Public Show footage.  It looks like we’ll have lots of footage to go through.

We aim to have the DVD out before Christmas and if you haven’t pre-ordered your copy yet there will be a product page set up for it soon.  We also have a few MJC09 tshirts left over as well as all our other tshirts available through the store.

Thanks Christian for another great convention!
