Hiya!
Welcome to HoP
I'm sure there's a few Toronto spinners around here somewhere- you may have better luck search/posting on the 'meet others' section than in here. Good luck, and have fun

Welcome to the High Church of Nutella. Someone will have to lick that off your nipples for you, BTW.

You have to be careful with Nutella nipples. Their power can be underestimated.
I spent some time in Toronto and totally loved it. I didn't meet any spinners there, so clearly I'll have to make another trip back.
Anyway, welcome!

I've been spinning since 2001. As for how I got started, long story, but I picked it up from friends in college.
I spun fire at Burning Man when firespinners there were still rare and cool.
