Last night we gathered in the Hoop Factory (which is my living room) to make hula hoops and enjoyed a productive time cutting, connecting, and taping. We also snacked and chatted. Our final count for the night was 15 hoops completed.

Now a mathematical word problem. If five people work for 3 hours and make 15 hoops, how many people are needed to make 65 hoops in 7 hours? Whatever the answer is, that’s the number of people we’ll need to finish the hoops in the next two Hoop Factory sessions on 1/27 and 2/4. Hope to see you there.

I will be validating the votes for the awards, but I think it is OK for me to encourage you to go over to Hooping.org and vote for your favorite videos, hoop events and hoopers in the 2012 Hoopie Awards.

I’m pleased to see Tokyo represented twice in the nominations. In the Solo Video of the Year category, Roon Roon’s Hooping in Tunisia video is up for an award. It features Roon Roon’s fluid sustained spinning and if you haven’t seen it yet, have a look:

And Tokyo, Japan is nominated for Hoop Community of the Year. That’s you! Us! I’m very happy for this recognition , especially when we consider all the amazing things we did together in 2011.

You have only until Thursday, January 19th to cast your votes in all categories, so don’t wait too long to decide who to vote for – whether it’s our Japan-based nominees or any of the other amazing hoopers who are in the running.
