so in 7 days time i will have just reached month 3 of my poi twirling career.
in 1 week time i will be going to this medievil banquet place and showing the manager my peice with the hope that he will take me on at £50 per night.
then theres these guys who do it clubbing for ££ i need to meet up with then there is a place in nottingham which is a theatre that showcases fire arts and will pay for people who are good, then there is busking, i may even go part time at powergen!!!
oh yeah at powergen i am going to be used for an ad campaign for a recruitment drive, how good is that, me and my poi are gonna go far.
and i have not dislocated either of my knees for about a week now which is dead good.

£50 per night! how long is that night in ammount of hours? do not get ripped off.

I would only work for one hour max for £50, and not solidly one my own for one hour, incremented displays covering a total time performing = 1 hour.

What does the little "£" thing mean? quid (sp?)? Pounds? Goats? Either way its more than I've ever made spinning, what few "gigs" I've been ropped into all the procedes have either gone to my university or the juggling club/"troop" I hang out with. Not that I mind really, I'm perfectly happy with the place poi has in my life, it doesn't need to bring in money to earn my love

Is there really that much work available? there seems to be loads of people who say they do performances here but I've never seen anyone with skill at any of the gigs or whatever I've been to.

Hope you get a good deal.
