After Charlie Dancey's Encyclopedia and Donald Grant's books, I think The Complete Juggler was one of my earliest juggling tomes. So you can imagine my surprise when Dave Finnigan e-mailed me and asked if I would be interested in helping him and Dorothy film a DVD version of the book. Filming in a studio in Montreal? Working with Goudurix Ltd.'s Alex Pepin? All expenses paid plus more? Hmmmm...I'll have to think about it...
Seriously though, I jumped at the chance and soon I found myself back in the city where I attended my first IJA convention (Montreal 2000). This time around, I got to see a great deal more of the city thanks to Alex, Stephen, Jerome, Mario, Alexi, Sebastian, and the rest of the Goudurix/St. Ambroise Studios crew. These guys are true professionals--working their asses off to get the good footage. They also introduced us to some great food and drink (What was that beer garden place's name?). Other great times included eating at Pizzadelic, jamming at the Tam Tam Jam, and watching The Passing Zone rock the house on America's Got Talent while we were having the wrap party at Alex's mom's place.
