We had an absolute blast at Starscape this weekend. Some of us have never been there before and some of us have. Either way EVERYONE that went with us had an incredible amount of fun! :D

The music was amazing -- and there was a bonus light show -- an awesome storm that stopped the festival for awhile. Watching the massive lightning stretch across the entire sky over the water was so beautiful and there was just enough rain to cool us all off from the 100+ degree weather. (It was so ridiculously hot and sweaty that Lauren and Jen couldn't hoop on stage but they did hoop their asses off out in the crowd... and after the storm it was too wet for us all to dance on stage with Bassnectar, oh well!)

We posted a ton of pictures on our myspace page ---> peep them here!

Much respect to all of our new friends... we met so many new people that we only knew from myspace, and we can definitely say that you were all really rad people!

If you have any great pics of the lightning, or even of you and your friends having a blast, please post them as a comment on our page. We wanna see what you saw!

Can't wait for next year.... see you at Camp Bisco (or much, much earlier than that we hope)!!!

Jam on the River was amazing! The weather was perfect and the vibe was great...! Starscape is the next big festival that we're getting ready for and we couldn't be more excited. Hopefully we'll see you there! If you look here you might get yourself a free ticket ;)

We just posted tons of photos from Spring on 4th! :) WOW. What a great time! Much respect to everyone that helped us create the gigantic street chalk mural. Take a look at our myspace photo album if you wanna see all the fun that was had.

Check it out! We were part of the Philly Spring Cleanup and talked to lots of people about helping clean a spot in the Funtown HQ neighborhood. We are located in the Kensington/Fishtown area of Philly. BUT the city was only organizing volunteers at certain spots and ours was not one of them! So we decided to do it anyway, and ended up getting on the front page of the local newspaper! Peep it here if you're curious!

We need some art advisors to help us out with a really neat performance at Bethlehem's Spring on 4th! Check out our get involved page for details.

We’re proud to announce that Lauren Shaw (Funtown crew) ripped up the stage this past weekend at the massive Langerado festival in Florida! She was hooping on stage during the Disco Biscuits encore!

Our own Lauren Shaw was just featured in the The Current, a newspaper based out of Egg Harbor Township in New Jersey. They did a great piece on her skills as a hooper and they even published some photos and a video from FIASCO! 2. Good job Lauren!
