As an added bonus, we were able to raise awareness about hooping and collect for our hoop donation for the St. Louis School Dictrict.  Together we raised $250 and were donated 60 assembled hoops.

THE WRAP UP-

In order to meet our goal of 100 assembled hoops, we will be constructing the last 40 needed hoops during Open Hoop Jams at the Koken Art Factory until we are finished.  If you would like to help, see our mini-blog post located to the right of the screen to see the latest info about meet-ups and happenings.

World Hoop Day St. Louis 2010

The STL Hoop Club would like to announce the formation of Troop Revolution.  This hoop dance troop is comprised of various members of The STL Hoop Club.  The focus for these hoopers is public performance.  Troop Revolution will make its debut at Schwagstock 41, a yearly summer music festival.  Please join us for this exciting event.

There’s nothing quite like Midwest Mayhem at the City Museum. The musical lineup — from rock to blues to funk to country and beyond — is diverse, the setting delightfully chaotic, and the whole experience will rock you as only KDHX can.

This event takes place on four stages inside the City Museum, a 600,000 square foot feast for the eyes, body and ears. A self-described “children’s playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects,” the museum is located at 701 North 15th Street in downtown Saint Louis.

Ten local bands — including Theodore, May Day Orchestra, the Funky Butt Brass Band, Rum Drum Ramblers, the Dock Ellis Band, the Grass Pack, the Blind Eyes, the Monads, Fred Friction and the combined musical forces of Art Dwyer, Tom Ray, John McHenry and Ron Edwards — will perform for the public at this annual KDHX party. KDHX programmers DJ Needles and DJ Al Swacker will be spinning records, and Lola Van Ella with the Alley Cat Revue, one of Saint Louis’s finest burlesque troupes, will be strutting their stuff.

Midwest Mayhem begins at 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 14, admission is $15 and all proceeds benefit KDHX Community Media (88.1 FM and TV 21+22)

Madahooping for Hamm is a fund Raising event for Dan Hamm, a St. Louisian who was forever injured in an unfortunate car accident. The money raised will be put toward a prosthetic leg. We will be having a pot-luck dinner at 6pm. A silent auction will also be held. Items included are a Phish ticket for the Gorge, a guitar, a certificate for glass art, and an LED hula-hoop. More information to come!

Please bring your Hoops and instruments and join the party in the courtyard throughout the evening. Music starts at 7pm.
