Figure I'd sign up and check the forums and stuff out.
I've seen and read about poi on some other boards, and the ladies there keep making it sound so fun. Gotta try it one of these days.
Still in the looking mode right now, but will eventually buy a starter set. Any suggestions?
Normally I can be found making chainmail (which can be seen at my site), or playing various computer/console games. Getting started in this hobby might actually get me to *gasp* go outside!

Hi and welcome Moatis!
Easiest starter set's a pair of knee length (prefereably stripy..
) girls' socks with balls in them (tennis, or rice filled balloons etc..).Actually, remember reading Enchantress13's intro a while back.. she's into chainmail too:

Hello and welcome to HoP!!
My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Wow, I like chain! Bought myself some in Munich last year! Much cheaper than in England. Funny story, that...

We really need to have an intro template with fields for people to fill out so that we can learn stuff about people like...

Got my beginner set last week. I've got the butterfly down, but haven't had a chance to really learn anything else.
Have yet to actually go outside to practice, and my apartment is a bit lacking in space. Plus my cats looooove the tails on the poi so they kind of hinder the learning experience... (Though, it's highly entertaining to watch them chase and jump after the tails.)

Hi Moatis. Congrats on getting your beginner set! Have you been outside yet?
Welcome.
Never hold your farts in! They travel up your spine, go into your brain and that's where shitty idea's come from.

Yup, Moatis has been outside. Introduced me to POI and I've ordered my first kit. Can't wait to get it and start playing.
