World Hoop Day 8/8/8 at the Cafe

topic posted Tue, July 29, 2008 - 11:06 PM by  Patric
for the benefit of the 3 people I haven't told yet...

August 8th, 2008 is the official World Hoop Day
(and my birthday!)
and we are observing both at the Capital of Hoop, the Last Concert Cafe!
Officially from 6-9pm (mass-hooping at 8pm), we may go till close depending on the band that night :)
I'm bringing sweets and healthy drinks for hoopers, in lieu of b-day gifts, bring a dish or something to share with our hoopers. Also, bring broken or unused hoops that we can repair and reuse for the first-timers!
I've just been contacted by Lana Berkowitz at the Chronicle, so we will have media coverage!
Our goal is to spread awareness of the fun and fitness of the hula-hoop, and Regional Pride, ie. to show the world how the hoops have spread from here, and how Houston loves to hoop, Big Time!!

Though it's not a fundraiser, the awesome Annie O is orchestrating the global fundraiser for WHD. Her goal: send hoops to children whom cannot afford fitness equipment that they may excercise, learn balance and center, and get that kickass feeling when they nail a cool trick! Check her out at
worldhoopday.com

or here on tribe~!
worldhoopday.tribe.net

So c'mon out if you like hula-hoops, or if you're proud of the Cafe's hoops, or if you just like me, and lets spread the revolutions!
Thank you so Much to Kerry, Lord Allen, and Dawn for making this WHD (and my b-day) the best one yet! GO HOUSTON!!

      Marsha, and the other participants of Marsha-Mondays:

      Lana Berkowitz of the Metro section f the Houston Chronicle wants to come to Marsha Monday on August 4th at 10pm, to take pictures and interview folks about their hoop experiences. She would like to get an article out Before WHD, and it would be awesome exposure...
      Is this ok with everyone?!

    hey guys Im new to this Tribe thing...my brother just set me up with an account....but I got a question.

    >>>I'm bringing sweets and healthy drinks for hoopers, in lieu of b-day gifts, bring a dish or something to share with our hoopers.<<

    Why would you bring food and drinks to a RESTAURANT when they provide all that there??? you are only taking money away from the hard working people who work there for your enjoyment. I know Patric told my brother he was trying to bring business to the Cafe...but making a pot luck dinner isnt doin that.

      >>>"Some people can be hooping. Some people can be there watching. Just to be there for that moment of peace," O'Keeffe said. "If 6 billion people can do that — even for just one minute — it will change everybody's entire perspective. People will really feel this moment of calm.<<<

      Once WHD happens your perspective will change and then you will understand everything.

        Good point, Hoops Twin!
        Wednesday PM'd me about this last week, so bottled water, sportsdrinks and such will be served next door at the Scooby Doo mansion (where we will also have the boiling hot water it takes to form the PV to the PV connectors) but the fun beverages and spicy and hot food will be only aquired through a Cafe professional!
        Thanks for reminding me~
