LOL... Trying to pick up staff now

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.

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...

someones addicted! i just got my new staff from moms for christmas. havent lit it up just yet though. i wish the wicks were bigger. i am sure the flame is going to be a little too small for my liking. hey, come over sometime and we can jam. me and wink are spinning tonight...

Staff is fantastic fun, and much less devious then that dastardly poi.

Sicks gonna teach me staff! i should mention this to him... Cant just stick with poi.. must....learn...more...stuff!! weeee!

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...

Monkey Butt!

I'm coming to California in March by the way Myst. Maybe you can show me some staff or something....

cantus, coming to california? no way! if your joking you suck, if your not then we should hook up for a spin.

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

hahaha... Me show you something with staff...LOL I can show you some bruises, but that's about it. Sorry bro, I'm way better with the poi. Pozee pretty good though. Looking forward to meeting you though. I'm going to go play now.

Hey, Cantus

While you're in the states you should stop through Denver as well.

Colorado isn't that close to California is it?

17 hours east of LA drive time.... quite a nice drive as well.. IMHO

Is there anything besides Mr puppy at the end of it that i might be interested in?

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.

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....

I'm not actually that nice in real life you know (just ask Tempest, Thistle or Marlboro). I dont know why you're all making such a fuss.

Canadians always trying to spoil my plans...
This ones mine =]
lol

Sick Puppy,

Did I mention its quite a scenic drive from Colorado to California? ;]

Is there anyone in the English speaking world who hasn't seen at least one episode of South Park?

Well I've seen it. I think mr Puppy was assuming as I cast such an innocent air that I might not be aware of it

Less than an hour away from Boulder...

There's a bit of everything here for everyone. Really cant complain much, though I wish we had the daiquiri slurpee machines they have in New Orleans... I need one of those in my house. Come on out and play for a while then head on out to CA and when you're done there go up to Canada...

Yeah im jonzen for a road trip, Im making suggestions for other people....

Er no Neph. I feel you may have misunderstood.

I'm going to California to be with Nokomis. I might while I'm there (and it is only might) come to Colorado and meet with you and what's his face. Although the prospect of a 17 hour journey followed by a stay in a hotel at the end of it doesn't sound very appealing to me.

And there's no way in hell I'm going to Canada!

Now if people were to come see me...... that's a whole different ballgame!

teehee

Well, Cantus, I'm not that nice in real life either.
It would be great if you could make the trip, it's always a pleasure to meet a fellow staffer, but if you can't come out I don't see my self opening my wrists over it .

Neph, on the other hand, may be quite heart broken.....

Nokomis,
I have actually been pondering a trip to Sanfrancisco, but, at the moment, burning man is first priority. If I end up with any extra cash after I get my desert survival money together I may, very well, end up out there.

As for the South Park comment, as I live where the show originated from, aside from my last trip to the UK, I have no clue as to it's world wide distribution. Due to it's crass and offensive nature, I wouldn't bet money that most TV networks would be willing to air it.

My god! what was the topic of this post again? I think we've digressed.....

I didnt misunderstand... Knew quite well what your plans are... well, to the extent that you posted... Youre going to CA in March.. pretty simple.. Im the one who is often misunderstood, dont even understand myself most the time...

ill be upset youre not coming here, mainly because meeting new people rules. but as sick said, not enough to open my wrists over it...

Topic of this post was...... Myst is thinking about picking up the staff... or did... something about a staff..
