So I was thinking..
« on: September 29, 2009, 03:11:41 PM »

Rather than just having folks from my school in the International Top Spinning Day video '09...I would like to extend the invite to you guys, so if you would like to be in this photo video please email me a photo of you (the goofier, the better) doing your favorite trick or spinning your favorite top on Oct 14th and I'll put all of the photos into a picture video.    In your email/text, please include the state/country where you are currently spinning and and perhaps your first name .  I'll give you a week after the event to get the photo to me so that puts the deadline at Oct. 21st...but remember, the photo that you send me should be taken on Oct. 14th, the actual day of the event.

Mike, you have no excuse not to send me a photo  :P  You have got to know someone w/a cell phone camera that can take photos and you can just send it straight to my cell # or to my email.

Feel free to ask any questions or make suggestions

That is a fantastic idea!  I would like to see what the Top Lady says when she sees it. You won't be denied! ;)

We could have a contest for the best photograph. Could even have categories, like funniest, most daring, most original, artistic, spin-hardcore, etc.  Maybe even prizes . . .

This sounds great to me.....if I can do the picture thing!  I will try to work on it.  Most certainly, this would be a nice gesture to tie in with the top museum.
I wonder if, on that day, I can get some people to do some top spinning up at some of the elementary schools I juggle with?

So what's the deal anyway.....How come ITSD isn't on the same day every year?  Is it always on the second Wednesday of October or something?

Yes, it is always the second Wednesday in October. I don't know why.

I picked up a calendar called “Celebrate Every Day.”  I have followed these fun and special days for years but never had a calendar with all of them.  It is very interesting but there is no spin top day listed!!!  There is also no juggling day but there is a yo-yo day on June 6th.  Seems like we can push harder for our special day or other closely related days.  Jim Neff, don’t you think there should be a kongzhu day.  Shouldn’t there be a national string day, Chris Neff?  A diabolo day?  A monobolo day?  A plate spinning day?  More?!?!
