We will be meeting Wednesday at 6:00PM on the Cut at CMU. This is a great time 
to bring a friend to learn how to juggle. So bring a friend.
  
 This week in Juggling History
  
 In 1768 Philip Astley formed the first circus in England. Among the first acts 
hired were two clowns that could juggle. 
  
 WC Fields
  
 WC Fields is remembered as a comedian who played a lovable drunk. He had come 
up performing Vaudeville where one person would often have to do three or four 
routines. Besides playing a fiddle he also juggled.

 Ironically when he was on Vaudeville his most popular act was juggling and 
during his early career he abstained from drinking to preserve his juggling 
skills. When he became a famous comedian he did not have to juggle 
professionally and became what we would probably consider a massive alcoholic 
today.
