Ariel's working hard to promote the hooping revolution, and I finally gave in to the allure of her slammin video demonstrations and new hooping website, and sought out Jason's perfect hoop building instructions.
Last night I convinced Marc to come with me to Home Depot, and I bought supplies for at least seven hoops for under 30 bucks. So far I've built one hoop for myself and one for my sister-in-law, who returns tomorrow from a semester in Australia.
Finally, around 10 PM, we went down to the parking lot for a trial run (can't really use my hoop indoors, since it is a bit of a bull at 48" in diameter) and, well, I'm far less coordinated than Ariel. Still, how far can I be from at least a trick or two? We've been at outdoor live music at least once a week for a while now, and I can't wait to take the hoop along next time.
I also can't wait to see the reactions of the stodgy Connecticutians when I drive around with a giant hoop poking out the top of my already, um, attention-gathering (read: LOUD) car.
Posted at 10:00 AM in category hooping.In the version of this world that I see, there are two types of cars; "loud" and "not working".
Hooping? Really? I gave up on that one way back when Big Bird was doing it. Perhaps I should try again.
...on second thought (and in consideration of the fact that I have no waist concavity to speak of), perhaps I shouldn't.
Posted by: joe on 03 Jul 2003 at 11:31 AMJoe, you don't need any waiste concavity. Not even a little bit. If pregnant ladies can hoop, you can too.

Posted by: Amy Choppa on 10 Jul 2003 at 9:48 AMI'm encouraged by the fact that my profile would not bar me from the hooping revolution. Of course, pregnant women will get to be slender again, one day - as will I, too, if I can figure out some way not to eat.
I simply can't get over hooping.org. Well-done.
Posted by: joe on 10 Jul 2003 at 2:04 PMOMG! thanls for posting a link on how to make your own hoop. G/F and I were at a concert once and there was this lady there that sold custom hoops online (bettyhoops dot com) but this'll be much cheaper! :)
sweet...
