I was with pozee and wink a while back and decided to pick up a staff, not very good at all. I went out skateboarding today and the ollie bar I use is a 5ft piece of pvc pipe, anyway, I picked it up and started playing. It was FUN!!! I like it. I think I'm going to pick up staff now. My brother is getting me a set of ball chain fire poi and maybe a set of beaming poi, I think I should hit my mom up for a staff. We'll see what happens. Eric

I just got 2 glowstaffs off Santa. I've had lots of fun playing with them in the neosnowy evironment outside. I've decided I need lots of practice though because I'm nowhere near as good as everyone seems to think I am.

Cantus - good to see you back! You have snow with you? We just have loads of frost. I was looking forward to spinning in snow, I can imagine the light looks cool reflecting off the snow. And I still can't so staff...

Staff is fantastic fun, and much less devious then that dastardly poi. ------------------ If you love something, set it on fire.

You should've seen it tonight Durbs. It was wicked. I took my green staff out and span for about an hour til my hands were too cold to catch anymore. The green glow against the snowy/icy background was awesome. Phat beats busting out (oops slipped into coloquialisms again)....erm, I mean had some good tunes on etc. A jolly time was had by all. Was wicked though. Best fun (staffwise) I've had for a while. I've got my enthusiasm back now thanks, in part, to the kind words of a few people off these boards...

Seems like it would be a silly joke Pozee. Not in my usual style methinks. I'm coming to visit my beautiful little Nokomis. I was hoping to hook up with you and a few others while I was over. See what all the fuss is about

Hey, Cantus While you're in the states you should stop through Denver as well. ------------------ If you love something, set it on fire.

Well, Cantus, let's see... Denver has two fire tribes that I know of, a decent club scene (weather you're into techno, industrial, retro, or just plain old rock). There are NO Londoners. We have beautiful mountains. Mind altering substances are plentiful. Kero is cheap, as is Lager, and Neph is here (she is generally more entertaining than television). We are also the home of "South Park", which I don't know if you've seen show, but it's horribly funny. The last time I was in London when people found out that I was from Colorado they would immediatly ask how close I lived to South Park, it was really very odd... But Denver has some of everything, and is much more entertaining than most of the cities I've visited in the UK. It's a lot like L.A. would be if L.A. was smaller, had less pollution, a better economy, less unemloyed actors, and had about 90% less ass holes, and 70% less posers. And hotel prices are very cheap because of the tourism drop after 11 September. You should make the trip out. I would love to meet another staffer, and trade moves. Most people out here spin poi, with the exeption of two of my friends. Maybe I could finally get down those diabolical palm spins. ------------------ If you love something, set it on fire.

I don't come from London so that's not a problem. I'm a northerner and tradionally we hate Londoners and, with the exception of a few (Sunbeam, -Dom- et al), I'd have to go with tradition. South Park eh? Funny. I'd have asked how close you were to Boulder - where Mork and Mindy was set. But I suppose I'm just that little bit older....
