The following is a repost of an announcement of 
the Purdue University Juggling Club's Labor Day 
Weekend Jugglefest.  It is quite long and, at 
points, digresses markedly from the point.  But it 
contains updated information and added incentives 
for those who are uncertain of whether they will
attend.

Many of you missed the first posting because you 
were at Montreal.  But in the event you have no 
interest in the Purdue Jugglefest, and will not be 
pursuaded otherwise -- please skip the rest of 
this message.  If you received it by e-mail feel 
free to delete it immediately so you do not risk

The Purdue University Juggling Club Presents...


		Fallfest 1992


	     Free, juggle free!!!

When:	Labor Day Weekend
	Saturday, September 5th, 8 am to 8 pm 
		(Including a Public Show in the nearby Stewart
		Center sometime in the afternoon [say, around
		2pm?]  A raffle (see below).  A party, after 
		8 pm, will be held at a location to be announced)
	Sunday, September 6th, 9 am to 5 pm

Where:	The Purdue Armory 
	Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana

Registration Fee:		$0.00     

  The Purdue University Juggling Club invites you to attend their 5th 
annual Fall Jugglefest .    

The Price  

	The Purdue Jugglers recognize that juggling is a 
	naturally free, universally untaxed activity.  We 
	like our fest to reflect this vision -- so 
	registration is free.  In holding this fest we, 
	the Purdue Jugglers, are inviting you as guests 
	into our "home".   You don't charge your guests 
	an admission fee to get into your home, do you?  
	We usually don't either.  Of course, you 
	probably don't beg for donations or try to sell 
	raffle tickets to your guests, and we will.  But 
	this "home" thing is just an analogy (just ask
	the guy we stole it from)  -- you can't 
	expect it to be accurate in every respect...
	
The Facility  

	Once again the Fallfest will be held in 
	Purdue University's enormous Armory.  Don't worry 
	about us running out of space.  That won't 
	happen.  This mighty, vaulted structure makes the 
	Halls of Asgard look like your kitchen.  This is 
	a big, big room -- big enough to drive a school 
	bus filled with unicycles into.  But  don't take 
	our word for it -- come to the fest and watch Tom 
	Miller of the Unicycle Factory do just that.      

	About the Purdue Armory, Michael Ferguson, of 
	Fergie Bag fame, once said,  "What more can you 
	ask for in a juggling facility?  You can't hit 
	the ceiling if you try...(and) of course, 
	military pictures on the wall *always* get me in a 
	juggling mood."    So bring your unicycle, juggle 
	whatever you like, wear any type of shoes (no 
	matter how black) -- the Armory can take it!  

The Combat   

	Banned from many jugglefests, loathed by 
	some, its advocates shunned in polite society, 
	combat constitutes an indispensable (if perhaps 
	evil) part of every Purdue Fallfest.  Yes, we not 
	only tolerate this noble game,  but foster and 
	promote it.    But we're not barbarians, not 
	really.  Well, we do have some barbaric 
	characteristics...  
	
	Okay, we're barbarians.  

	Nevertheless, please bring your softclubs.  No 
	hardclub combat will be permitted.
	
	There is also the outside chance that the craven
	Bloomington Indiana University Jugglers will
	challenge us for the much vaunted "Foam'en
	Bucket."  This bizarre artifact was forged in the
	dank underworld of BIFO president Thomasl's abode
	in Bloomington, Indiana.  From there it quickly
	came into the possession of the Purdue Juggler's
	Combat Team as a result of their crushing defeat
	of the Bloomingtion Jugglers at the BIFO jugglers'
	own juggling festival. 

	As a result of this hideous defeat, The Chairman 
	of the Bloomington Secret Society lured the 
	peaceful Maine juggler, Fritz Grobe, to 
	Bloomington with a large, but undisclosed sum of 
	money (rumored to be $47 million).  There he 
	corrupted the unsuspecting Grobe and converted him into 
	a deft combat warrior.  Alas, at the same time 
	internal power struggles resulted in the 
	banishment of then President Terry Jones from 
	Bloomington to a desert region far to the west. 
	 Without Jones' bestial combat abilities at their 
	call, chances of winning looked grim for the BIFO 
	jugglers.

	But to the evil Chairman of the Bloomington Secret
	Society's intrigues even the Purdue Juggling Club
	was not immune.  Purdue's "Top Gun" was Tempted
	and lead away from Purdue to an uncertain fate. 
	Some claim to have seen him deep in the Wilds of
	Chalk River, Canada. Scarcely human, the now
	insane juggler reputably goes by the name
	"36WOLF", howling at the moon amidst the
	desolation, memories of frolicing about Purdue
	with a chemical fire extinguisher dim, almost
	forgotten.  Purdue's token numbers juggler, Deron
	Barnhart, was swept up by a press-gang, sold to
	the Peace Corp and sent to juggle in Ghana.  
	Thus the gap betweent he two teams was 
	closed.

	But will the Bloomington Jugglers' show?  It is a 
	matter of honor.  But honor counts for little to 
	the villianous...


The Special Guests  

	Benji Hill, Chuck Gunter, Adam & Jason Keriotis,
	Jay Gilligan, Michael Ferguson, Tom Miller, Ed
	Carstens, Melonhead, Steve Otteson.  They say
	they'll show. Most, probably all, of them will. 
	Technical? Number Crunching?  Unicycling or
	passing? Theoretical juggling and computing? 
	Something for everyone's juggling tastes. (We're
	also doing some heavy arm-twisting on the
	Bloomington Jugglers, but, damn, they've got a
	high threshold of pain...) 

	Benji Hill and Chuck Gunter won the teams competition in
	Montreal this year (after winning or placing in 
	many other IJA competitions previously).  

	Rogue 15-year-old juniors competitor, Jay Gilligan, 
	(who flashed six clubs, on stage, at Montreal) also 
	says he will join us.  But he's a minor, so even if 
	we had him under contract (which we don't...) he could
	still blow us off and legally we couldn't touch him.  
	But I bet he'll be there.  [Yeah, you know him from 
	Montreal.  You may even have been one of the 
	multitude that approached him after his act and 
	praised his technical ability whil{ explaining he 
	had no personality.  Well, he has this message 
	for you.  He's just won a regional talent contest 
	at the Allen County Fair in Ohio -- both for 
	variety acts and overall.  The reason sited by 
	judges for his winning was his personality.
	(He also advances to semi-finals in Memphis.)]

	12-year-old juggling prodigy, Adam Keriotis took
	4th place in Juniors this year at Montreal.  Jay
	Gilligan calls him "the next Anthony Gatto."  Adam
	and his brother Jason are minors as well.  But
	they're such well mannered Juniors.  Not at all
	like that vicious monster, Jay Gilligan.  You feel
	like you can trust them... 

	Prop vendors, Michael Ferguson  (Fergie Bags) and
	Tom Miller (The Unicycle Factory), will again
	attend, as will the inventor of Multi-hand
	Notation (MHN) and writer of computer juggling
	pattern display program, JUGGLEPRO, Ed Carstens. 

	Madison, Wisconsin's Melonhead and Steve Otteson 
	will lead a workshop in 3-count passing tricks (and,
	no doubt, be available for hours and hours of 
	passing).

	The final special guest, we hope, will be you.

The Raffle

	Looking better every day, it now includes:  3 Dube
	Airflite Clubs, 6 Airflite Rings, Stage Balls, a
	Dube Shirt, 6 Todd Smith Elan Clubs, 3 Ray Wold
	Sparkling Cigar Boxes, 4 cans of Chasley Bags, an
	item (unknown to me, but, no doubt, worthy) from
	Jugglebug, a set of Klutz bags. 

	One free raffle ticket will be given to each 
	registrant.  Others may be had for an, as yet, 
	undisclosed price. 

The Public Show
	
	"But Purdue doesn't have a Public Show."  Wrong.
	This year we do.  Our director, Jay Gilligan,
	(that's right, your worst nightmare, a Junior with
	power to Direct) will emcee (and perform in) a
	Saturday Afternoon Public Show in the nearby
	Stewart Center's Fowler Hall.  The show will
	feature acts by Adam Keriotis and (maybe, if I've
	got this straight) Benji Hill and Chuck Gunter. 
	Others interested in performing can sign up at
	registration or contact Jay Gilligan before the
	Fest. 
	
	"But how can you put a rogue 15-year-old in charge
	of your Public Show?  Isn't that dangerous?"  Yeah,
	you bet.  But that's just the kind of gutsy, living-on-
	the-edge type of jugglers we are.  This show won't be
	for the faint of heart.

The Directions

	From the north:  find I-65 and take it south to 
	West Lafayette State Road 43.  Follow SR43 south
	4 or 5 miles to State St (State Road 26).  Hang 
	a right and head west until you reach University
	St.  The Armory is just over 4 blocks to the north
	on your right-hand (eastern) side.  The parking lot
	is just past 4th St.

	From the south:  take I-65 north to the State Road
	26 exit.  Follow State Road 26 west through Lafayette.
	Cross the Wabash River on our (brand new!) SR26 Bridge 
	continue into West Lafayette until you reach 
	University Street.  Hang a right to go 4 blocks
	north.  The Armory will be on your right-hand (eastern)
	side.  The parking lot is just past 4th St.

	From the east or west:  chances are, if you're driving 
	a long way, you'll want to just hook up with I-65 north
	or south at some point.  Otherwise, from the west, take
	State Road 26 into West Lafayette and hang a left on
	University Street.  Similarly, from the east, take
	State Road 26 east into West Lafayette and hang a
	right on University Street.  Either way, drive about 4
	blocks north, just past 4th St., and turn right into
	the Armory's Parking Lot.

	Rail Service:  A local, unstaffed Amtrak station (located
	between 210 and 212 North 5th Street in Lafayette) provides
	passenger rail service.  It's about 2 miles from the
	station to the Purdue Armory.  Call toll-free 1-800-872-7245
	for information.

	Greyhound-Trailways Bus Service:  The station is at 360
	Brown Street Levee, West Lafayette.  About 1 mile from
	the Purdue Armory.  Just a few hundred feet from the 
	Travelodge (see above).  Call 317-743-1434 for Fare and
	Scheduling information.
