and about the alcohol... well... all things in moderation I understand but there are a few issues... the lack of reflex control is a massive one (and I am not talking a few beers, but more a constant flow of alcohol) BUT what i also have in mind is glass bottles... I am a barefoot spinner and have cut myself a few times because of bottles left unattended or smashed...

Shu I do not know you and am always cautious online to not come upset others with silly misunderstandings... so please see no cynicism in my question , I am genuinely curious:
Written by: Cassandra
given all that you have said, why do you go to fire meets ? why not do it on your own in the peace of your own time and space ? I really love the feeling of doing it alone and dancing to myself and in those times i feel not very inclined to social interaction
Written by: Cassandra
but it puzzles me why you would immerse yourself in a gathering with others if you do not want to interact, do not really want people to look at you, or yourself to look at others ?

I agree, and think that's honestly the best way to put it.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I'd argue that that's too vague.
Because that's EXACTLY the same thing that makes a bad meet.
After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

there is no pressure to 'perform' which I often found at some Australian 'fire' meets
TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"
.....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

Hey Fluffy and Chicken,
What is meant by pressure to 'perform'?
Only one person spinning at a time? Someone marking you? being expected to only do fancy stuff or people boo? Seriously, I don't understand... (particularly in the context of eg Burleigh where there's loads of * tries to find a term that isn't tourists* observers who never perform....)

Sometimes our local meet is very skill/work/active.. sometimes more social /chatt/cuppa tea (we are indoors so if inspired can bring a kettle) I think the commitment of people who come pretty much weekly is part of what makes it so great. Yet it being great is what inspires people to come! So it's hard to get a 'magic formula' to make it work.
If you have something that is a good seed though, I think the thing is to treasure it and support it..
ps our local most regular meet is no-fire, and includes lots of juggling/hacky sack etc which is immediately more accessible I think.. lots of people wander through and feel very free to ask to play..... even if they can't juggle they can hack...
