"Actually this is just a place for my stuff, ya know? That's all, a little place for my stuff. That's all I want, that's all you need in life, is a little place for your stuff, ya know? I can see it on your table, everybody's got a little place for their stuff. This is my stuff, that's your stuff, that'll be his stuff over there. That's all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. That's all your house is: a place to keep your stuff. If you didn't have so much stuff, you wouldn't need a house. You could just walk around all the time."

Todd's Juggling Prop Bag
Props - What's in my bag (I'm a hobbiest. I like to experiment a bit):
- Three Dubé European clubs - my first set of "real" clubs. I bought them at the Hurricane Hugo Juggling Festival 2002.
- Three Renegade 85mm clubs - I'm working on 4 clubs so I had to buy some more Euro-ish clubs. I almost bought some Beard Euro's from Higgins Brothers but the "look" of the Renegades got me. I bought 3 undecorated 85mm (Europeans) white clubs. I've heard mixed reviews about how well they hold together, but the one person I know to have a set said his lasted 5 years --- good enough for me.
- Six Dubé American Juggling Clubs that I snagged at discount from Matt Jergens. These are their older styled clubs and have a completely round knob which makes balancing difficult. Regardless, I really like them. I just taped the handles which makes their them a bit more balanced. They are also completely indestructible.
- Dubé Squosh Balls - I have a nice set of black and silver beanbags. They feel so nice! They are almost completely worn out and will be retired shortly.
- Todd Smith Beanbags (standard size) - I have a nice set of black and red beanbags I got at discount from Todd Smith during the Groundhog's Day fest in Atlanta (2004). You can get something similar here
- 70mm Globalls - I bought 5 of these these from Serious Juggling at the 2004 IJA Festival. I bought mine for $12.00/ball so... apparently I got a good deal (or they are over priced normally). They are SO pretty and fun.
- 70mm (2.75") Ultraleather Fergie-like "Sport Balls" - I bought 7 of these as the 2005 IJA Festival. They have a great weight and feel.
- Finesse Diabolos - bought 2 - one for Monica and one for me. Very cool.
Other stuff in that bag:
- Pinky or Spaldeen or the like balls - I bought a bunch of these, simply because Anthony Gatto says that he practices with them. I like them for variety, and I would like to try bounce juggling soon (but probably way too light and not bouncy enough). You can find them in various sporting goods stores. Wierd! I can't find them in toy-stores.
- Small kick/playground ball - another purchase inspired by Anthony Gatto. I want to try head bouncing.
- Franklin AGS Low Density Street Hockey Balls - bought 5 from Dick's Sporting Goods. They are hollow (and full of water). I filled them half-full of sand, sealed them with hot glue and they just rock!
- Weighted tennis balls - I crammed about a 125 pennies into three balls. Nice cheap Exerballs. Goin' to try Joggling. As silly as it probably is, it also sounds like a lot of fun, and really hard, and therefore good for you. :)
- Miscellaneous Balloon Balls and other experiments.
- A Semcycle XL 26-inch Standard - I can now ride this damn thing! Well, almost. :) Ok... this really isn't in the prop-bag.
