In Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Manny Blue took the bus with her hoop and discovered that hoops get attention. Blue, who hoops with her performance art band Astronaut Love Triangle, explains, "A #85 bus driver [saw] me in the bus shelter with my hula hoop and says, 'Hey, I remember when those came out. Were you fund raising? HaHa! Have a good night.'" Later, on the #96, a cute young man sits beside her, asking, "What's with the hula hoop? Were you performing at the bus stop?" Still later, another young woman joins her on the bus, telling her, "Hey, I've got two hula hoops at home and I've been practicing..." While taking your hoop with you might get you some unwanted attention, it's also the ultimate beacon for us to find one another. Astronaut Love Triangle
