Branwyn32 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I know there's lots of Atlanta folks here, so I figured I'd put this out there in case there's any interest. The 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month, a bunch of people meet in Piedmont Park for something called Play In the Park. Basically we hang out, enjoy the weather, and play with different kinds of circus arts and stuff, like poi (those fireballs on chains you see dancers swing around in Hawaii...they're surprisingly good for the arms), hooping, juggling, acro-yoga, contact juggling (David Bowie with that clear ball in the movie Labyrinth? That's contact juggling), staff, stilt walking, tightrope walking, dance, drumming, music, martial arts, climbing trees, flying kites, tossing frisbees, or just hanging out. If we're really lucky someone may occasionally bring a trapeze or aerial silks and rig 'em to a tree branch to play on. It's a really fun, active afternoon with a great vibe and awesome people that are all happy to share their skills if you're interested in learning. If you're in Atlanta and would ever like to join us, here's the Play In The Park Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/group.php?gid=133154257407&ref=tsIt generally goes from around 3pm to around 7pm. If you enter Piedmont Park from the entrance on 10th Street at Charles Allen Drive, walk past the little freestanding bathroom, and you'll see the hippie circus freaks on your right.

Sethbacca Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ooooh, we got nothing like that up here. Though I'm sure your city has more people than the entire population of my state (By about 5 times, I looked it up after I posted) Quote Link to comment

Sethbacca Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It really is a beautiful state, but I am unfortunately not much of an outdoors buff. I am planning on trying some stuff over this summer to find myself some outdoorsy hobbies. Quote Link to comment
Rocketman Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sounds like a lot of fun, to bad I'm on the other side of the country. Maybe you guys could take a field trip out west! Quote Link to comment
