Right, we've got that sorted out then

Now - lets bash out the pros and cons of vegetarianism

and if i remember correctly we never did reach a satisfactory conclusion on the fire vs glow debate...

Fire's morer betterer. I eat vegetarians for breakfast. And ham. Lots of ham.

Does anyone know how to make different coloured flames?

What about music??

What do you guys listen to when spinning?

Sparkly poi.

Glow for Show ~ Socks for a Pro

If by "Pro" you mean someone who's NOT a professional then, yes... glow for show, socks for a pro.

Cuz I don't think you'd get as many gigs if you spun socks. And therefore wouldn't be able to support yourself by being a professional sock spinner. And therefore wouldn't be a pro.

Fire's way prettier. I mean have you ever just snuggled up with a loved one with hot cocoa and watched a large sock? Have you ever seen a croud gasp in disbelief as some guy drove his motorcycle through a hoop of socks? Ever have a girl at a bar pull out a cigarette, turn to you and ask for a sock?

And Nobody drives 6 hours into the Nevada desert to see Sockman.

I'm hoping you were drunk when you wrote that...

Lighten up poiple...

and NYC, I've driven to Black Rock City quite a few Times, and many people have seen me spin my socks there, takes me a lot longer than 6 hours though, more like 48 ~ I live near london. But I guess you're right, my socks would have looked outta place during The Burn, man that was fun

My socks glow, so in your face!

I win!

A scientitian told me that fire is just the rapid socks-idation of a heated material anyway

i have glowing socks that i light on fire.
on my feet.
and then i do breakdance backspins.

BOOOOYAAAAAAA!!!!!!

so would that be more a performance move or a tech move...?

I was thinking idiotic move

Technormance Vs Performical

okay i'm throwing a wrench in this thread. it's silly! i mean aside from setting your socks on fire. i know you veteran/ more intermediate guys are saying "BOTH" but, really, when it comes down to it, why even draw a line? i can only think of two moves that i know that i wouldn't perform with, because they are several technical techniques put together, like the 9-10 beat weaves. actually i could even see doing those, nevermind. (i just haven't, i have better stuff) audience not understanding hyperloops, in a show, they're just little circles, are you kiddin? please tell me you are. for fucks sake, if you fancy you are a performer, then you darn well better be creative enough to come up with an imaginative way to TEACH the audience how to understand! and i don't mean by saying, "look, the strings aren't tangling!" not that i doubt any of your abilities... here i am setting myself up for some competition, as an intermediate performer. giving away methods. come on guys, push me to work harder! cause as it is, i'm relaxing in the hot tub for a while and i heard those things make you sterile

your _job_ as a performer is to make the audience understand the technicality of your moves in a performance. don't just get up there and dance, have a message, a conversation! you should be able to dance your way into and out of any move in such a way that the audience gets it, you retain your performance continuity, and it looks flawless technically. no "move" is too technical if you set it up right.
knows, hopes, you know this already and is just feeling a bit cocky... somebody slap me

I only have one thing to say,

"It's not what you do... its how you do it"

happily arashi specially for saying the same thing in a diffrent way. Now tell me what a dragons tounge is dammit!

and a for dragon for saying it perfecty.
