The Ministry of Manipulation
Hello.
My name is Ryan Mellors

I dont know how closely some of you have trolled through my blog info, but you might have noticed an image in my tribe.net gallery called ”my schedule: on paper” and on it, something about setting up a company for media and performance.
Well, I did that. And its ready. You can have a look.
www.ministryofmanipulation.com

Its my new little home on the web; sort of a virtual version of the real life I live.
I hope to move this blog there soon.
Some fun videos on the site.. worth a look. My friend Will was (wierdly enough) in a Kaiser Cheifs music video called Modern Way. Jea9 has a lovely promo in there. Drew has some wierd stuff, and i’ve got a lot of my older videos.
At the very least, watch Hangar Fun again. You love it, I know. Its special.

The big news is that Drew is writing the new contact juggling books. I’ve read them and they are good. Much more complete than Ernests old-school manifesto… Drew is the right person to be doing this; he has seen the last 10 years of London contact come and go and he’s actually pretty good at it!
Oh.. and its not called contact juggling anymore. The term ‘contact juggling’ was a lie created by James Ernest to make everyone into a moschen clone and to give everyone bad posture. I’m not sure what its called anymore, but I’ll let you know when drew decides.

Oooh. And I’m stating a juggling night at the hangar on thursday. So if you are ever bored, just hop on a plane and get here for 7pm. I’ll make you a cup of tea.

See you then
Ryan
