ExplicitEpisode 4 – Jennaluna | Hoopy Holidaze! This year I wanted to make a Christmas hoop for my yard. Hooper Bonnie MacDougall posted a picture of hers in her front yard in North Carolina and I just thought it was the coolest!! Well, intentions are always good, right? I made hoops and I put lights out in my backyard for the first time ever but the two didn't mingle. Maybe I can find Bonnie's picture and post it on the blog for some hoopy joy and inspiration to others. I teach hoopdance classes in a ballroom near my home and right now there is a giant Christmas tree filling one corner of the room. I love it!!! It has such a festive glow. I feel like my students are dancing around a Winter Solstice tree. I'm a sucker for the lights this time of year. I don't need the gifts or the pressures, just the lights. OK, bear with me for a couple more episodes. I've got the microphone figured out NOW but not before I recorded this interview with my friend, Jennaluna. She and I go waaaaaay back, the early 90s I think. I played bass in a band called Gravy back in those days and one of my bandmates taught at her high school. She sang backup as one of the "Biscuits" (get it???) during our outdoor performance at the end of the school year. As I got into hooping, I heard names of these mythical hoopers like Hoopalicious and Spiral and Safire but didn't know their real names. One of my favorites names was Jennaluna but I had no idea who this person was. And during the same time, my friend (Gravy bandmate) kept mentioning that one of his students had really gotten into hooping down in L.A. and San Francisco. Hmmmm. I never put it together. Then one day, out of the blue a little email came my way via Twitter from Jennaluna!!! We connect the dots, made plans to have breakfast together (she moved back to Portland) to meet face-to-face and have been friends ever since. Happy hoopy ending! And don't forget to support local businesses this time of year - that includes your community hoopers! Buy hoops and t-shirts and other hoop-related goodies to spread the hoop love this holiday season. | 12/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 3 – Meet My Hoop Mama, Merilieu! | The Hoopanista goes to Seattle! Found myself catching up with friends in The Emerald City over the Thanksgiving weekend and squeezed in a fair amount of hooping. In this episode, I sit down with my Hoop Mama, Merilieu. This is the woman who introduced me to modern hooping and we get to talk about her first experience. ...and about the audio issues... FINALLY figured out that I accidentally changed the mic gain at some point. In the mean time, the next few podcasts will have some funky audio. Please bear with me and perhaps overlook that part of the podcast and enjoy the interviews even if you have to tweak the audio whilst listening. | 11/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
