 The Passing ZoneTake two guys with chainsaws...Take two guys with chainsaws. Put them in tights, throw in a garden weasel, and what do you get? Well, it's kind of hard to explain. But they're called The Passing Zone, and they'll amaze you. They juggle. Jugglers have been around for thousands of years. But Jon Wee and Owen Morse--the duo who make up The Passing Zone-are different. They really are. And not just because they wear tights while tossing gasoline-powered destruct-o devices at each other. They're funny. Really funny. The best keynote speakers do a lot more than just present a meaningful and informative message.

ABOUT THE PASSING ZONE From clubs and machetes to bowling balls and members of the audience, Owen Morse and Jon Wee . collectively known as "The Passing Zone" . boldly juggle what few jugglers have juggled before. John and Owen began juggling as teenagers and were introduced by a mutual friend in 1986, while Wee was attending Luther College and Morse was at University of California, Irvine. The duo met again the following year at the International Jugglers' Association (IJA) convention in Akron, Ohio. They began performing professionally in 1988, making their debut at the IJA Team Championships in Denver. Over the years, Morse and Wee have earned a reputation as the world's funniest, and most ambitious, juggling duo. They've collected five world records and 18 gold medals from the IJA . more than any other team. At the same time, their heart-stoppingly hilarious repertoire ranges from "The Chainsaw Ballet" . a graceful marriage of silk tights and power tools . to "People-Juggling," in which three members of the audience, dressed as astronauts, fly about the stage to the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
