Scroll down to skip the blathering and get to the 3D pictures. For those who favor blathering, you are in luck today.
One of the most exciting things about this job is getting involved with people who do their own thing. That is, people who have been committing 100% to their passions long enough to see them go from interest to hobby to freelance to career. Everyone I’ve met who has made it through that chain seems insanely happy, as well they should be.
For example, VIRG has been dancing since he was ten. That’s where his heart was, is and will be. Perhaps, you’ve seen him and the things he does. His birthday party is this Sunday at Vuenos in Shibuya. The party is from 4:00 – 10:00 PM on September sixth in the Year of our Lord 2009 (平成２１). If you are around that district, you should definitely check it out. Performances abound (01 Crew, J-Team, J-Kids, VIRG, Gemini, Shisei, DME Boys, and so on and so on). We will be there with our trusty cameras. If you see us, be sure to wave and smile like you’re having a lot of fun (which, no doubt, you will be).
Another perennial thing-doer in Tokyo is Deanne The Hooplover. I know she has a last name and I even know what it is, but anytime I ask her to say it on camera, she just says she’s Deanne The Hooplover… Anyway, she loves hula-hoops (a bit of information I’m sure you have already reverse engineered from her title).
Honestly, hula-hoops just look like circles to me. But, in the hands of this woman and her friends, they become so much more. These women makes these circles go in circles. This process might sound like geometry homework, but it is actually one of the most incredible and hypnotic things in the universe. These girls hold dominion over circles in much the same way Poseidon holds dominion over the ocean.
If you want to bear witness to such majesty, you should pass by Yoyogi Park (assuming you’re in Tokyo) this Sunday. I am under the impression that they will be hooping near the lake-thing area of the park, but I could be wrong. They’ll be doing their thing from 1-4. If you show up, there will surely be at least one circle that you can spin in a circle (again, way more fun than it sounds). Also, Deanne is collecting for a hoop-based charity. So, bring all that money you were trying to get rid of and I’m sure she’ll find a more than worthy use for it.
Without further ado, here are the new 3D pictures. In case you don’t have glasses, I’m posting the 2D versions.
