Episode 10 – Antonio Gomez and 10 Years of the Bay Area Hoopers
Hello hoopers, hoopers in the making and hooper lovers!
I met my goal!!! I got my tenth episode done before the new year!! My next goal is to make this podcast professional. What does that mean? It means a simple and redesigned website, sponsors, advertisers, maybe even some fun prizes. I want to bring hoopers from around the world to your ears and hearts. If you’re interested in helping me make this a reality and bring it to the masses in a more polished formed, you can reach me at hoopanista (at) hulahoopla (dot) com. Thanks!
On this episode – EPISODE 10!! – I talk with Antonio Gomez of the San Francisco Bay Area Hoopers, or BAH. And I saved this one, my 10th episode to honor BAH’s 10th Anniversary! So cool. I haven’t even known about hooping, as I’ve come to know it, for 10 years!!
I met Antonio when I came to my first BAH hoop jam in December of 2012 and felt an immediate connection. I had just started coming down to the Bay Area to visit my long-distance fella and wanted to meet hoopers in area. Headed over from East Bay to Inner Space in San Francisco and I have to admit I was pretty nervous, sort like I was on someone else’s turf. Aren’t we our own worst enemy?! I was welcomed with open arms and had a blast. My guy came along and hooped with me!
If you’re ever in the Bay Area, check out BAH’s weekly indoor hoop jam. Right now going into 2014 it’s every Sunday, 1:00pm – 3:00pm at Inner Mission, 2050 Bryant Street in San Francisco. All experience levels welcome and kick in some cash to support the group.
I’m putting this episode out while I’m down in the Bay Area for Christmas and the New Year and will indeed be heading to a BAH hoop jam. Can’t wait!

Hoop Jam & TV
Come for a day side hoop jam and be seen on TV!
Center Space Studio
420 SE 6th Avenue – PDX
10am – 12noon
Fee: $5Local TV station, KPTV Fox 12, is sending a reporter and photographer to shoot a segment for their show, MORE Good Day Oregon, which airs weekdays at 9am on Channel 12. They will be at the hoop jam from 10:30am until 11:00am or so but I thought it would be fun to make it a 2-hour hoop jam (10am-12pm) for the heck of it.
If you do not want to be on camera, you can step out of the room for the taping and step back in when they are done. The segment will air on Wednesday, December 7th.

We’re Cuckoo for Coco Hoops!
Hoopnotica is running a campaign to have a Hoop Off between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. Who know? It could happen!
You can check out the HOOP OFF – Leno vs. Conan on Facebook. Lots of fun posts from other hoopers. I rallied of few of my hooper gal pals and came up with a slogan and campaign sign.
Hmmm….I can’t upload the sign at the moment but you can find it on the HulaHoopla Facebook Fan Page. Not a fan???? Well, what are you waiting for?
We took some pictures and made a fun little video to assist in the campaign. Check it out!
And please share it with your friends. Thank you! BTW, I am “Bad Kitty” in this video, the last hooper. That is my hoop troupe performer name. Meow! -
