<div> <br/>Hey all! So here's the link I mentioned tonight at the Common - I would love to get together and pool on a roll of duvetyne cloth for safety blankets and costuming if anyone else is up for that...One can also shop around online and find an assortment of colours. <br/> <br/>http://www.backstagehardware.com/ <br/> <br/>Also, keep me posted on the fire-hoop-making get-together? I really want to make a new fire hoop, as mine has several painful design flaws...</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bostonhooptroop">Boston Hoop Troop</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I brought my hoops to the New England Folk Festival last weekend - knowing that I was going to be more-or-less captive in the Crafts Hall with my beadwork all weekend, I just didn't want to be without them. Fortunately there were some nice little open spaces in which I could hoop at odd moments - and share my hoops with kids and adults who either knew how or wanted to try. Stephen Ide of the Patriot Ledger posted a nice article AND video at http://blogs.townonline.com/folkbluegrass/ (the video alone is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cZkucao6nc ). About a minute and a half in, you'll find some hooping.... <br/> <br/>Best, Martha</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bostonhooptroop">Boston Hoop Troop</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I have a few nice photos from Hoopla! that I'd like to post, but I don't know the people and don't want to offend. Same with a video "pan" of the entire room - I'd kind of like to put that on Youtube. Does anyone strongly want me to NOT do this without seeing it themselves? (I can always take it down - but I'd rather not put it up in the first place if it''s going to be a problem!) <br/> <br/>My vid of the performance is pretty cool - it was so dark that you can't really even SEE the people - just these disembodied hoops! That one's very large, I'll need to reduce its size considerably, that'll take a little learning. But unless something clearly better shows up, I'll plan to do it and put it up. <br/> <br/>What fun!

<div>Hey all! Thanks for joining the Boston Hoop Troop tribe! This tribe is created as another way of getting hoopers in Boston connected ~ both newbies &amp; veterans ~ residents &amp; visitors. We'll officially have a link off Hooping.org so that people visiting Boston or those who live here, but haven't found us yet ~ will be able to find us &amp; see what we're up to. This is a good place to come &amp; see when the Boston Hoop Troop is meeting for informal sessions, when the next Hooping Workshops are, how to acquire a hoop, or other HOOPenings :) YAY for hooping!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/bostonhooptroop">Boston Hoop Troop</a> - 0 replies </div>
