So just a bit of background info. I moved out to a smallish town with a big problem with outsiders and a extreme protective nature of those from here. I am for very much an outsider. I moved from NYC…

Comment by Brittany Shea Lawrence on November 6, 2012 at 6:28pm I live in the Eugene,OR area and have realized there are no hoop communities out here. ( or so says my research) I miss mine back home in MN and other people in the area looking to to jam ( also need to find a indoor space , damn rain) with and hopefully make some new friends ! ( pretty new to the area) Please feel free to message me!

Hello hoop group. It's been a while since I surfed HoopCity but I just wanted to say THANK YOU because all the little tidbits I read here really encouraged me to be consistent with scheduling (monthly) local hoop jams. I do so through MeetUp.com & our
MeetUp.com/MiamiHoopMachine group has finally reached 100 members. That was a complete surprise to me because on average, maybe up to 10 people show up to our monthly MeetUps at a time, but it's nice because there's always a new friendly spinner to meet each time. Well, CHEERS to "Fostering Hoop Communities."

Comment by Sairz ward on May 21, 2011 at 5:16pm Any advice on getting the spin jams moved in doors? If you've found a solution to this problem involving no money I'm all ears. Not to sound cheap or anything, but I'm a smoothie blender, so I'm not working with a whole lot, and neither are the people in our group from what tiny little bit I know of some of them.
I posted this earlier if you want to read the whole thing I put out there on this subject:
