er....we went into town at some point, I kept borrowing your socks due to a lack of my own, I had a t-shirt with my name on it, we both got frustrated with isolations, I was there when you had a lie down on the nails...er...Kit and Kat were talked to quite often...hmmmm, I should be more interesting and memorable thats all I can think of.
The fire spinning was fun although my own wasn't exactly good...time to return to practicing with sock covered fire poi I believe. May make the chains a little smaller as well currently undecided. I did end up in the wrong park for quite a bit of the spin but eventually got there after confusing Ros by using someone elses phone as I was out of credit. Now need to find more parraffin before warwick on wednesday.

Hi guys 
I will deffo DEFFO be there on Sunday, might have a couple of mates with me, might not  and I'll have lots of lovely new monkey fists to play with 
Kieron.....I might be able to help you with Iso's a little if you want, not sure how to help apart from give you patience tho, it's the key ingredient to learning isolations 
Been juggling lots lately, seems to take less valuable space than spinning when there's a wee one around, it's surprisingly tiring! Spinning takes much less effort! 
See you all on Sunday 
Has anyone found indoor play space yet? Uni's are full of them, there must be something to be blagged for free?
--------------------
  being a Dad is the best feeling in the world.....ever! 
Sorry but there won't be a bouncey castle at play

True, but throw in the word 'Fire' and then it becomes a whole different problem 
The spin itself, for me, was a bit short because, as my name suggested, I got lost as soon as I got into Selly Oak 
Not having a map and having 'helpful' locals who didn't know their own town didn't really help me get there. Found it eventually and had a burn but I was mostly mesmerised by other people's spinning

You've already helped Dunc...indirectly, took most of Saturday and Sunday morning at Play to learn isolated buzzsaw but I can generally do that and isolate just circles now..I think I can anyway. However I have no idea what isolated weave is so its a bit hard to know what to practice, help with that would be muchly appreaciated.
Also realised the weight of my sock poi has messed up my ability to isolate my much lighter fire poi...*goes to stick socks over the wicks and practice with them again like before Play*

Right then guys.
Almost sunday (lol.............. ish!)
Come out and play
Oh - and everyone try to get fuel sorted beforehand! There's a hardware shop in Raddlebarn that sells paraffin though you'll have to get there before 5 (it's the road bounding the park on the uphill side (towards the station). Other than that........... your guess is as good as mine
Love and hugs and wooooooo!

Still yet to find a hardware store in Brum city centre area that sells paraffin...might have to travel to Selly Oak just to buy paraffin
Oh, by the amount of paraffin people mooched off me last Sunday, I should get free paraffin this time
How much is paraffin for whatever size can by the way?
And has a sheltered fire-spinny place been found? The rain today kinda just put me off a little for Sunday Hair got wet and now it's fluffy... 
[edit] Considering to buy one of two things to expand my collection of spinny stuff. Should I get a set of pretty, floaty and smooth flags which may look a bit camp ( ) but I actually really want because of the reasons previously stated (apart from the camp bit), or a set of glow poi which can still be purdy, can be used anywhere fire can't but runs off batteries

'Oi' will suffice  told ya though, in the end, Ben's easier to remember
Erm, tell you what, if you can buy a can of paraffin whenever you have time, or at the same time as you go buy if you haven't already, I'll pay whatever the cost when I next see you?

yeah I got some on the way back - £4 of suspiciously green dyed fuel that I'm assured is paraffin (Kirk's is usually sound enough so I'm happy.....)

Ros,
so you will go to London Juggling Convention and the Kundalini party, AND back to Birmingham and fire spin on Sun. Wow... you are amazing (as you are!)
( i am checking the flyer of the kundalini party, would it be too late if i make up my mind on Sat?)

Ok, thanks for that, I'll definitely get you the cash back on that.
Same place/time? I'll try to get there earlier this time and not get lost.
Annoyed that the train service is out on the weekends though, so I'll be taking the replacement bus and will be ditched in the centre of town again.

Eccles - alas I'm not going to LJC - I can't figure out how to and haven't got a ticket. And can't really afford it.
And need to visit my sister AND brother on Sat before Kundalini

Kieron, I meant that the train line where I am to Selly Oak is out of service on the weekends for maintenance. The train from wherever you are should be operating, unless it runs on the same line as the tracks from New Street station.
