**Stands up**
Hi My names Garthy and I'm addicted to Poi. I take them everywhere and don't want to stop.
Have been learning since Glasto 2003. Borrowed someones fire poi after lying to them. "Yeah I can spin" and then proceded to hit myself in the face. (for example) Decided I'd better learn by next glasto.
You may know me from such poi Meetups as Falmouth II , Special Clapham, BJC , and Bristol Fire. I've met many of you before and you've all been loverly.
(Although I spent most of the time lying down on the floor at special Clapham after a 2 day bender for my mates birthday so didn't meet many people then. )
But thank you to whoever gave me some pain killers. I owe you much.
You were indeed loverly. II love Psy-trance, Metal, POI, Computering, and proper clubbing. As all those I dragged to Tribe of Frog after the BJC will testify.
Will one day produce a spinning video with a Megadeth sound track!
Take care
XxX
