Hoopers outside of Boston

2009-10-19T21:42:49Z

Just wondering if there might be another gathering or a few individuals outside of the Boston Common area that jam regularly. I *could* travel down each week from upper MA/NH area, but honestly, that's a bit of a stretch ($$$). Practicing on your own has its place with meditation, stillness and application of inner patience, but I think being with other people adds a special connectedness too. Thank you, sincerely!!

Wednesdays at the Boston Commons

2009-07-31T00:58:13Z

Hi hoopers,

I want to invite you all to hoop it up on Wednesday evenings this spring/summer at the Boston Commons...Since BU Spin Jam will be at the Cambridge Commons on Mondays, some of us thought it would be nice to have another location for the Wednesday meetups. We will be gathering around 5:45, hopefully next week (5/6) if weather permits!

See you there.
Smiles,
Rachel

P.S. A reminder that this information can also be found on Facebook on the Boston Hoop Meetup group page.

new hoop meetup facebook group

2009-03-20T18:47:39Z

Hello Boston hoopers -

As the weather gets nicer outside, I've been starting to think a lot about hooping in the sunshine...I can't wait until it is finally warm enough! In anticipation of much fun to come, I thought it might be a good idea to open up another channel for communication about where and when you will be hooping this spring. I know Tribe already serves this purpose, but I also recognize that a lot of people use Facebook to communicate as well, so why not have a group there too?

If you're interested, here's the link:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=911406&ref=profile#/group.php?gid=58776371036&ref=nf

Happy first day of spring, love,
Rachel

Monday night hooping at MIT during the summer

2008-09-25T03:17:03Z

Hi all,

The Boston University spin jam has moved to MIT for the summer (the building we used at BU is closed for the summer).

Monday nights come spin poi, hoop, staff, etc at MIT with us for FREE. It is 6pm-9pm. Rain or shine (we have an indoor space right next to an outdoor space - so we can use either depending on the weather). There is NO fire at this practice (even if we are outdoors). You can come late - it's all good.

We meet under the giant dome (which is building 10) at MIT. It's near the corner of Memorial Drive and Massachusetts Avenue (you can sometimes find free parking on Memorial Drive near the dome). It's a 5 minute walk from the Kendall/MIT red line T subway stop.

Here's the MIT map showing building 10 and the large area outside of it:
whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg

This one give you a view that includes the Kendall T stop in the upper left hand corner:
whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg

For reference, building 7 on Mass Ave is the main entrance with the columns and 32 is the Stata Center (the one that looks like its weathered an earthquake).

Wed night Hooping Sept. 10th??

2008-09-16T18:40:22Z

Hi everyone,
I haven't made it out to the Cambridge Commons once yet this season! Are ya'll going to be out there tonight? I'm thinking about showing up around 6. I might need to borrow a hoop from someone because I moved way across town and I'm not willing to risk my life on a bike with a hoop through city traffic. And my collapsible hoop isn't working so great these days... lemme me know
Thanks!
Katie

Revelation: Annotations to (your own) Youtube videos!!!

2008-08-31T00:21:17Z

I just made an eye-opening discovery: you can ADD "annotations" to your own videos on Youtube! Go and look at one of them, you'll see an option to "Edit video annotations" under "Video owner options". You can customize the size and vertical position, and the time each annotation lasts. ("Help" is easily available from the place where you're doing it.) For tutorials, I think this is pretty spiffy!

I tried it out on my Counter-Rotation video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mff41zpOzoo, and also on my Behind-the-back pass, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtJpSJLleRM

World Hoop Day ~ Take 2 ! 08/15/08

2008-08-15T12:39:20Z

World Hoop Day ~ Take 2 ! 08/15/08

So last Friday, 08/08/08 was World Hoop Day. Our intention was to meet and celebrate this occasion, but it RAINED and RAINED and didn't stop. We didn't get to hoop :( So we decided to try again & celebrate World Hoop Day THIS Friday, 08/15/08. The numbers don't align, but hopefully the weather will!

To commemorate this fabulous occasion, hoopers will be gathering & jamming & having a hoop parade. *It is critical that this gathering/parade be viewed in a renegade fashion ~ ie: you all just "randomly decided" to come out & hoop at these places, but THERE IS NO ONE WHO ORGANIZED THIS EVENT. This way, no one will get in trouble* :) Here are the details:

WHO: HOOPERS

WHAT: WORLD HOOP DAY CELEBRATION - TAKE 2

WHERE: MEET ON THE GRASS IN FRONT OF CAMBRIDGE CITY HALL IN CENTRAL SQUARE ~ WE WILL WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO & THEN BEGIN A MARCH TO HARVARD SQUARE & THE CAMBRIDGE COMMON

WHEN: FRIDAY AUGUST 15TH, 2008 @ 8PM

WHY: BECAUSE WE LOVE HOOPING!

HOW: WE ARE GOING TO ROCK OUT WITH AS MANY HOOPS, HOOPERS, COSTUMES, BOOMBOXES & FUN THAT WE CAN MUSTER.

Check out the World Hoop Day Website:
http://www.worldhoopday.com/

Here's their mission statement:
Join Us On Our Mission

Since 2007, World Hoop Day has been dedicated to bringing toy and dance hoops to underprivileged children living in extreme poverty and underdeveloped neighborhoods of our world. Founded by Annie O'Keeffe, World Hoop Day is a not for profit organization that uses a community-based approach to provide durable hoops. The adult-sized hoops can be used their entire life as a simple and effective way to bring joy to an otherwise devastating situation.

There are many aid organizations who provide food and medical relief, but what about the mental welfare of a child who grows up too quickly and hardly has a reason to smile or play or just be a child? To date 1,100 hoops have been given away, and a total amount of $1,500 has been raised. The simple hoop has positive physical and mental health benefits, stimulates imaginations, and enables feelings of pure joy and bliss.
We need your help to continue this amazing project!

Hoop Happenings!

2008-07-18T22:03:39Z

Greetings!

Tomorrow is the "Life is Good" Festival in the Boston Common. Eartha & myself will be representing hooping at the Harvard Pilgrim tent from noon to 5pm. We're also doing a performance at 1pm on the main stage. I think it's going to be a really fun day, so if you're around, it would be amazing if you would come by & hoop with us!

Also Tomorrow, the Boston Globe's article on Hooping is supposed to come out in the "Living Arts" section. When I last spoke to the editor a few days ago, he said he was 95% sure it's coming out Saturday ~ so keep your eyes peeled b/c I might not have a chance to write you until after the Festival.

Sunday is another Hooping Workshop at the D.C. There are still spaces available, so let me know if you want to come! Also let me know if you need more information on the classes in J.P. on Tuesday nights.

Hope you are all well &
HOOP to see you soon!

As darkness fell

2008-07-01T03:29:56Z

hey friends,

I had such a great time yesterday hooping at the common! As some of you know, right as it got dark and most of us started to depart, I realized I lost my earring.. (I know, great timing--damn sunset!!) ;)

You guys were all so good about helping me look for it--thanks for giving it a shot especially since it was probably a little hard on the ol' peepers. Andrew and Simone (with help from their trusty LED's) hung out and we had a search party for at least an hour and a half. You guys rock! That was seriously so nice for you guys to stick around so long. After our necks started to ache from looking at the ground for so long, we called it a night.

BUT THEN...

I called up the special man in my life and he insisted that we go look for it. (This was at about 10:40 and I was wiiiicked tired.) So I went through the motions of looking for it again while him and his roommate scanned the area, industrial flashlights in hand. Low and behold--he found it! Right in the center of where all the traffic was, gold side up.

Total needle in a haysack success!!

And I love you guys. See you all next Wednesday ooor Monday.

Outdoor spinning, anyone?

2008-06-20T15:55:31Z

It's a lovely day, and it looks like it's going to be a lovely evening.
How does spinning in Boston Common around six-ish sound?
I've got new toys I want to spin, and company is always nice for these things!

So...six-ish near the bandstand that's sort of in the middleish of the park?
If you've a source of music, bring it, and if not, I don't think anyone will die.

hoopers needed for Gay Pride Parade next saturday the 14th!!!

2008-06-06T01:36:54Z

A super group of awesome ladies called madfemmepride http://lgbtfriends.meetup.com/19/ is looking for hoopers to help out with their marching extravaganza. You don't have to identify as queer, or even as a woman to participate. There are already a number of performers marching with us, the more we have the better! You don't necessarily have to hoop, you can do whatever it is that you like to do, cartwheels, poi, ribbon twirling, whatever. We just ask that you make it colorful and shiny! The parade starts at 11am and is about 1 1/2 miles long. Pride is the most fun day ever, no matter who you are! there is a day of events, music, dancing, food, etc. after the parade. I will be hooping the parade and I can give you all the details, just email me soon to let me know that your interested.

Beginner's Hooping Workshop Thursdays

2008-05-27T15:11:19Z

Hey All,

I just wanted to let you know that the Beginner's
Hooping Workshop Series on Thursday evenings is
starting soon! Thursday, June 5th is the first one ~
from 8:15pm - 9:30 at the Dance Complex in Central.
Several people have signed up already & most people
have signed up for all 6 classes. I think it is ideal
if you can sign up for all six, but it is not
mandatory ~ even if you can just make it to a couple
of them, it will be beneficial to you. I believe the
classes will be beneficial to even an intermediate
level hooper, as you will add fluidity & grace to your
hooping style. Please let me know which ones you can
make it to, so I can put your name on the roster &
reserve you a space. If you pay in advance, you get
the $15 price per class, if you pay at the door it's
$20 per class.

Here's the detailed info about the workshop.
Hope this email finds you all well.

happy HAPPY hooping!
-Marria

Flame-retardant fire-hooping costuming materials

2008-05-14T03:04:00Z

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.

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...

Even at the New England Folk Festival!

2008-04-30T04:05:28Z

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....

Best, Martha

photos & videos from Hoopla!

2008-03-11T14:35:01Z

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!)

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.

What fun! THANK YOU, Marria and Ammon and the rest of you organizers!!!

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 & veterans ~ residents & 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 & see what we're up to. This is a good place to come & 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!
