Thom Wall Workshop

  Just this Monday I was able to do a workshop with the renowned Thom Wall.  He's an amazing juggler and a part of the IJA (International Juggling Association) organizational staff.  To me he really summed up what juggling is all about.  He is very knowledgeable and works very hard to get better, all the time.  He doesn't seem to be afraid of messing up, which means he can always try something new.  He is also very willing to help others and share his time and knowledge if they want to get better at juggling too.  We only had to pay some gas money and even then he was grateful for that.  This is someone who could get away with charging a hundred dollars for a single workshop, from each person, and he came to our town for next to nothing.  I learned so much, and this was, without exaggeration, the high point of my month. 

Here's one of his jugging videos for anyone who's interested.
