Another one byites the dust as the expression goes.
I came back from the super market with two nice shiny new light bulbs. One for the living room one for the hallway. Anyway this time it must have been a record. The broken lightbulb was hardly even warm when I sqrewed it out. It lasted oh...it must have been at least a minute and a half. I swear I can see the poor critters tremble as I pass the electrical section in the shop, pushing all the lesser wattages to the front. "Take him, take him, he's still young."
I would have banned poi in the living room but that hardly seems like a good solution.
Anyone else broken severe amounts of stuff due to excessive poi abuse.

Yes I have broken many things through my fire games.....
1. The sound barrier.
2. The hearts of many young women (and sometimes men).
3. My head, my wrist, my jaw, my ankle, my knees, my neck, my groin, my elbows, my back and my skin.
4. The record for the most hansome bastard to spin fire.
5. The will of all other fire dancers who try to compete with my awesome display of skill and talent.
6. And yes I did once break a light bulb.
nap time 4 me now good night all!

You know, in America we dont hang lights from the cealing with a lead. They are attached pretty darn close to the cealing. Maybe American architect is more accepting of Poi than Europian?

LIke an idiot I rented a place that doesn't even have 7 foot ceilings. I smashed a lightbulb within three minutes of introducing poi to my new room.
What am I going to do when it snoooooows??? It's going to be a long poi-less season for me.
Bah.

I too broke a lightbulb. Showing off swingling and showing my flatmate my new move, and smack i hit the bulb and it went out, the only replacement lightbulb we had was a red one, so we then had to sit in a red room making ourselves look like a whore house. I moved out the other day and they still have the red lightbulb in (were lazy students and couldn't be bothered to buy a 20pence new one).

For paddy and smiley :
Check out fire poi in the snow in the vid section. The guy is unreal though you can hardly see him. He does all this crazy behind the back stuff.
Azie : Keep up the ongoing battle to rid the world of those cruel and horribly not-so-expensive fiends more commonly known as lightbulbs.
"...and god created lighter fluid."

Yeah, smiley, it's more about the cold than the actual snow. When it's -15 or so and you've been spinning for a few minutes, the cold really starts to freeze your hands. And spinning with mitts on just sucks.

I'll will be posting a set of photos of my beautiful self spinning with 20 lit sparklers strapped to the ends of my staff and when I get the time some awesome glowstick and fire photos.
Try the sparkler trick, its like spinning with two signal flares strapped to your staff. Easy to start fires though so be careful. Also not in ANY winds, sparks in the face and over a bare back and chest hurt.
