Poi and Staff workshops in Spitalfields Market EC1 London

one day, one day I will make it before it closes.

sound real wicked

maybe 2 weeks
EJC tee hee

Drew

thanks Dom, that's sweet! I'm gonna try and slow it down a little so the flame is more obvious next time, but yeah, I loved it!

Won't be in Clapham on Sunday unfortunately, but should be back at Spitalfields next week!

Fast is good too. Just personally I like a slower, smoother style. Bit more graceful to my eyes.

Dom!!!! That's no excuse! I was there last night and felt totally abandoned because you weren't there! It took DFQ all night to calm me down. I swear.

Damn those stairs Ewan, you really should get that landing light fixed.......
Hello?
Anyone there?
Help?
Broken bones etc......
May need ambulance......
Or sexy girl to kiss it better....
Preferrably second one.............

P.S. My job is to walk round and chat up women under the pretence of fixing their computers....or to be at lunch.....or in the park getting stoned.....but not for the next month.
(**Starts shaking through THC & Alcohol withdrawal even though it's only been 33 hours**)

Well Carrey and Ewan gave us yet another great spinning night last night, so I just want to take the time to thank them both for all the hard work and effort that they have put into helping us play

It was really nice seeing so many new people turn up (with toys.......). And did anyone see that young boy pick up poi for the first time??? he only went and did the 3 beat then the 5 beat weave within about 20 mins

Anyway guys, cheers for helping me have sooo much fun last night, and I'll look forward to seeing you all (PLUS MORE) at next weeks workshop.

Bam

And I was at work However I did get home and see loads of you spinning on Channel 4! Ewan, Carrey, Lisa, Marco, Haze, Davy, all spinning away in Davy's back garden. Very weird!

Damn forgot to add my thanks......
No classical music.......ahhh fond memories of stuk-yarcoch in A minor. (One I haven't heard since I was 15 myself I might add........)
yes it was cool, I love you all (as u know) and I can't wait till next time......purrrrrr.
Oh and how many extra sexy/funky spinner peeps were there.....or was that just me being slightly luvved up, bouncy & sober at the time?????
Popularity spreading like a small patch of un-noticed mould....
Lovely to watch all of yous doing funky stuff
And many thanx to Miss Carrey and Mr SpaceMonkE.
Much respect......

Tuesdays are fun days...

I speak for us both (Ewan and I) when I say we really enjoy hosting the evenings. They are great! (Almost as great as Sundays on Clapham Common...)

Thanks for all your support and hope to see many of you tomorrow evening...

Cheerio,
C

CHews-D Eggen.....Rahhhhhh.....
Edit to say I'll have to stop posting here... This is number 10 afterall.....

Carrey honey, if you had fire as well you'd rule.....nothing at all to do with the pub and close vicinty to minor conveniences like...oooo i don't know....music, toilets etc.....But just because it's you.......awwwwwww.

Plus it's far more public.....(gets you used to spinning in front of non-poi types)...and you attract far more people into the hobby just by grabbing passers-by and teaching them. You guys also devote a lot of time teaching people that you sense are a bit shy and don't like to come up and harrass people for lessons.
For which you have given a lot of time and effort and you have gained love, friends and respect.

I don't think Sundays are better they're just different......my thoughts......might not be anyone elses......

Plus we go 4 beers afterwards - woop-skip-flop-skippedy-woop........mmmmmmm beer....(& Hugz)

Stay peachE -

I've just discovered that the trains are pretty good on a tuesday night, so it'll only take 90 minutes each way if I was to start turning up too.
I'll be turning up a bit late because I can't really leave work early, but I'm seriously considering it, I've just got to get round to investing in a railcard first, so it's not so damned expensive for me to get anywhere by train.

Hey Drew, s'tru where u been geeza?
Errrm, tuesdayz are a bit tough.....errrm Oh wait hang on I think one or two peeps hang out somewhere in SpitalFields market from about....ooooh brain hurts from concentrating too hard.....I think 7ish-til about 10.....then beers and hugging lots of people.

Hope u can make it down, be nice to see you again, especially with Kensal closing as from Thursday and all that.

(Big slap to anyone that didn't go there last week and left us down there with about 20 peeps....but good fire for the 5 of us that did it - lol.)

U rock man, come teach us lesser post-graduate poi-not-quite-jedi-masters some trix -

(and feel free to come round to my intro house and grab a cookie and a mug of tea. Would offer u a spliff but you're not smoking at present???? or was that just Thursday??? - saying that virtual spliffs don't have half the risk of lung cancer and stonedness that real ones do...... )

PS Ewan (SpaceMonkE) would like to inform the masses that he has a tune tube, bass box, stereo jobby that he's quite chuffed wiv and would like people to come see it (for a price of course)

Stay Smiley
Much luv

I shall be there!!!!

one HUGE thanks to malcolm for sending my fire heads so fucking quickly to me!!! i ordered them last thursday....and they went and arrived today!!! wow!! how fast is that!! (on normal air mail as well!!)

I think I've got quite a few mates coming down tonight, some with Poi and some just to watch and drink some beers, so see you all there

PS I did some fire in France at a big party/camp thing I was at and it was wicked!! I still have great difficulty explaining what Poi are and why we do it to the uninitiated though

Thanks cam,

I'm a bit out of london at the mo, s no tonight for me, although it would be good. poo
but I'll make it to the legendary last thursday ever (I think this is now the 3rd last thursday ever, but you cant ever miss em, just in case.)

Drew

Lush, see you Thursday.

Last night was fekkin blinding BTW.....

Much luv, hugz and peach melba twists to Ewan & Carrey 4 organising me an ongoing social life for Tuesdayz - Tee Hee

Great to see everyone again, although I now realise that there's a whole heap of people that do summin called "Planet Angel" on a Friday that I don't know - must go along soon.......

Bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce, bounce, skip, bounce.......etc...

Sorry, still buzzy from getting the 2 most stunning women on the planet to hug me at the same time last night -

Much luv & Hugz evry1 - xxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Bump*, just so smallboy doesn't have to

If all goes well, and I can pursuade my mum to either teach me how, or sew me a new set of poi, I'll be dragging myself along next tuesday

Come along anyway, I've got poi you can borrow (ie a surplus set, not just a set you can you when I'm not) as do lots of us.....
YOU HAVE NO EXCUSES - muhahahahaha

Oh yeah, and that goes for all of you......

Keep Smiling and Stay Green -

Woohoo! I've nagged my mum enough so she'll make me a new set this evening, so I'll turn up tomorrow!
I suppose I probably could have just used one of my other sets, but I need to find new ways to explain my addiction to making more poi

Having decided I'm going to turn up tomorrow (actually, it'll probably be today by the time I finish this post ), I suddenly decided that having never been to the market or liverpool street station before, I have no idea where I'd actually be going.
Can anyone give me some idiot proof directions to get there, or is it literally on the doorstep of the station?

Yep, get to Liverpool street station.
Leave via Broadgate exit (Hamilton Hall, not McDonalds, and Not bus station exit)
Turn left onto Broadgate
Turn Right at ABN Amro (fekking great glass building with digital clock on pole outside.
Go into green roofed building.
Walk diagonally across
Step under string that fences area off
Walk up to guy with dyed blod hair
Say Hello
If you get lost Call this number 07984 288063, and I'll come meet you.
See you tonight
Cam

Cheers, I'm sure even I can follow those directions, despite how easily I get lost
My friends always laugh about how easily I get lost, although since I've got lost so many times, I'm now also fairly good at getting unlost after wandering around for a while

Well I'm looking forward to meetinig you sir.

it's Tuesday it's Tuesday it's Tuesday....and I still have to work late

Someone save me PLEASE.......

or alternativly, come out of liverpool st staion, turn left and keep walking untill you see a lurverly multi colourerd cow on the other side of the street..go down that street (stopping only to say hello to the cow...the should be a large building sitye in front of you. walk past it and keep walking...take the first enterance on the left and walk on a bearing of 037 degrees (next to the bar on the other side of the market....i wont be there tonight...for aformentioned reasons.

I wont be joining you tonight
I suppose in theory i could...but i cant... ok..dont ask! Too complecated to explain!

Wish i could come tonight just i have no money! But i'll be there on Sunday at Clapham!

Take care..dont have too much fun without me
Alice
