Winter came and they found some of the lesser traveled areas on the Minneapolis skyway system (with high ceilings) to juggle. Even though they avoided chandeliers and such, they also got kicked out of a few building lobbies. It seems there is an unwritten rule against juggling in certain buildings. When summer came again, they moved outside in front of the Accenture Consulting building. This location was more visible to the general public...and allowed other jugglers to join the fun. The summer of 2002 moved practice sessions to the corner of 11th and Marquette across from Orchestra Hall and WCCO TV. When it's too cold or if it's raining, the group met on the skyway at the Hilton Hotel.

We officially lose our inside practice place at the Hilton Minneapolis. We're jugglers without a home. We find a temporary space with high ceilings and not so much traffic next to the Residence Inn on 8th Street S and LaSalle. We finally settled on juggling in the Twin Cities Federal building courtyard. It's got really high ceilings and a huge American flag. |

Earliest time juggling OUTSIDE in Minnesota. It was 50 degrees! We beat our old record by 1 month! We're so happy about global warming. It's doing great things for us up north. In the past we used to juggle fire torches at this time and call it "fire and ice". Now it would just be "fire and nice". |
