Tomato Art Festival

It's almost that time of year again! The Tomato Art Festival is a fantastic event held here in Nashville. A summer festival where we all hail to the almighty tomato with artists, musicians, food, & vendors. Well, it's kinda like Octoberfest in August for us Tennessee folks. Last year there were more than 12,000 in attendance, so I cannot think of anything better to do than play footbag there. I'm kinda doubtful we'll have enough room for net, but more details to come. http://tomatoartfest.com/

A Week in Alabama

Last week I was attending a flood hazard conference in Montgomery. On the way down I decided to drop by Huntsville to get some kicking in. Chris Ryan is a long time footbagger & juggler, I met him back in '04 at Worlds in Montreal. We hooked up at some music in the park event near downtown. I'm from Tennessee so I can handle bluegrass music, but I draw the line at barbershop quartet. In all my life I cannot recall any other genre of music that could be as distracting. There's a small juggling club in Huntsville, unfortunately, footbag is not nearly as popular in rocket town.
