We've got two tracks for you this week. The first comes from Erran Baron Cohen (of Zohar) from his collection "Songs IN The Key of Hanukkah." Our track is "Hanukkah Oh Hanukkah" which features Y-Love and Jules Brookes. And yes, it'll get you hooping for Hanukkah! You can check it out on the listening station up top - and listen and download more on iTunes by clicking:
Our second track is from the Verve Remixed Christmas project that takes classic Verve label holiday jazz tracks and remixes them for the sound of today. It's great stuff and it has us hooping in a "Winter Wonderland" (The Christian Prommer Remix) - which features legendary vocalist Shirley Horn. Give it a listen up top - and you can also listen and download more holiday delights from Verve Remixed Christmas on iTunes by clicking:
Two weeks ago I took a very unplanned break from hooping. I was mugged and ended up with a head injury and a hairline skull fracture. Simply walking around was bad enough at first, but I've been healing so quickly I decided to meet up with Bay Area Hoopers at Potrero del Sol on Sunday. We chose the location hoping it would bring the sun that was most definitely missing. It was great to be hooping again, even if I did end up quitting early and heading home dizzy and nauseous.

I live in SF and have begun hooping.
I have a couple of hoops, and I have some basic skills. Many of my friends spin poi or the staff. But no one hoops!!! I would love to meet others who can teach and inspire me.
Are there any gatherings coming up? How might I find out about them? Are there any classes that you're aware of?Thanks!

The Bay Area Hoopers meet every week or two, and while it's not a class by any means, it's a great way to go and play and pick some things up. Check out the event calendar for the next BAH group hoop!
