Bumping up the Ed Thread? What did it fall to like the THIRD post on the page?
Oh yeah... MCP, I forgot to tell you two things.
1) You're famous. My buddies here (who don't do staff) came to practice all excited... it went something like this:
Them: Yo [NYC] I finally got to see that 'contact staff' stuff you wouldn't shut up about. There was this girl online who was doing crazy stuff you gotta see it...
Me: Was it on HoP?
Them: Yeah, it was crazy she was like..
Me: Yeah, that was Meg.
Them: NO I think her name was like some initials or something but it was awesome she was like...
Me: Yeah, that was Meg.
Them: No, you gotta check out these vids she does some stuff where she rolls it off of her back and over her shoulder and then...
Me: Yes. Meg. Spent the summer with her. She's great. Been there, done that, got the TShirt and the Hoodie...
Them: No dude, I think she's British or something.. she's got short curly hair...
Me: Yes, that's Meg. I know her. I promise.
Them: You gotta check out that video.
Me: [Giving up and resorting to sarcasm] Wow, that sounds cool, I'll have to check that out.
Them: Sweet!
And #2...
Check you PMs.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

antispin fullsteve is fine and most doable. thats not a raise. thats a lowering.
if you want a raise then you need to nail T&Bs antispin frontmatrix.

See and I thought Rob was a real person. Turns out it's just a poi move. That would explain a lot about my summer.
Well, shall we go?

NYC get with it; they are talking about sticks, not poi
and I suspect meg is too geeky to go into chat much so she doesn't know that you are the official Balloon champion yet.
Perhaps you should have posted it in Poi moves? :giggle:

ah but the 'I'm spinning glow-poi in a balloon' avatar far out-cools the 'I haven't got one' avatar of aloofness
doesn't it?

Re: Contact spinning ?
I do a little bit of contact spinning myself. There are some really cool videos online by a girl named Meg...
void.printf.net/~meghan/
She includes some basic instructions and has some fun moves. I found this to be a pretty good introduction to contact spinning.

I'm not as stupid as I smell
. I know they were talking stick. I'm down with the stick kids.And meg, I was talking about:
Written by: mcp
what was you last avatar of?
I was confused as it was not English, or American, or even any American slang I'm familiar with. My main confusion was with the word 'last'... as I've only had one avatar. Were you trying to remember what my previous one was? Or were you just commenting on my current one? And I just assumed you meant 'your' by 'you'...
And Mol, I spoke with Meg via chat. But she was drunk. I guess she forgot which was my surprise.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

I was wondering what your last avatar was of? (as in the picture.) Since I couldn't remember it. I know now I couldn't remember it cos you didn't have one.
I like that the word verb is actually a noun.
It was a surprise that I talked to you via chat? Or that you're going to playa del fuego?
and rob: Yes I'm slack, but I also have meetings with supervisors...
Which is why I should be working right now...

mmm... fire is pretty!
lots of people on the meadows last night, was excellent, though twas very cold!
everyone else is scarily good, methinks more practice is required...
oh, and actually buying some fire poi and paraffin of my own might be a good idea, rather than just borrowing from lovely people every week :P

We did have a good turnout of spinners... But it was freezing... Good fun though. I'm glad it didn't bloody RAIN!
Man I love going into edinburgh fabrics and buying stuff, just to get plastic bags that say 'Disco Lycra' on them really. 'Bodystockings' is also tempting.
Erm I did have a point to this post.... Ah SLACK LUKE WAS THERE! YAY!
And if you want a quick spin today, come to george square gardens at one, me, mo-seph, ian-maybe, and sluke should be there...
More pigtail air-wraps please!

must go stick my head in a freezer
Ooooh

yay, a new person
yes everyone can come along to fire meets on a monday night
they are on the meadows by middle meadow walk (big path through the middle) but if we're not too slack to have brought any paraffin then it should be pretty obvious.
let us know when you're planning to come and we'll look out for you

I like that the word verb is actually a noun.
"She breathed heavily as he bent his manly form over her, and verbed her roughly from behind, gasping as he did so"
So obviously, its a verb too
(I blame Mills and Boon for my brain)
