I have put this off for far too long, so without further ado..
HI ALL!
Haven't posted a massive amount on here, but do spend far too much work time reading everything i can get my hands on
My name is tony and im a 19yr old guy from the sunny brisbane. Work full-time in a fairly boring government position but it lets me pay for more fire/juggling stuff hehe
I have major problems sticking to one toy, so consequently at the moment im playing with staff,poi, devil sticks and really getting in to the juggling scene.
First bought a staff and poi about 4 years ago, but sadly lost interest due to lack of knowing other twirlers and becoming a bit bored of it. Got back in to it about 6 months ago when i started visiting moonfest again and now i make sure i always have some sort of toy in my car
Try and keep a fairly active lifestyle in between twirling. Play quite a bit of volleyball in my spare time, and looking to start yoga and gymnastics or even capoeria.
EDIT: Two years later and still haven't started yoga, gymnastics or capoeira...better stop procrastinating
Moving to wavell heights in a week or two so might have to have a housewarming party to met a few more of the brisbane hoppers
So thats me, hope to keep meeting more of you whether it be for a twirl, a beer or just hanging out. Keep spinning
Tony
P.s Nutella is the best

nope... logan is history (thank)...
started looking in the west end area, cos I seem to spend most of my spare time there... but have now started looking further north. have been talking to min about maybe sharing with her, cos I still can't quite afford to move on my own. everywhere from moonfest area (shorncliffe/deagon etc) to samford has been considered... time will tell
YAY!!! for moonfest

Hmm well alot of us seem to be either west end or northside now :P I was the only west sider and now im moving right near blair and erin.
West end would be great and would have been my first choice, this other offer was just too good to turn down. What sort of guy would turn down a place with a pool table on the deck

couple more times and I can call myself a regular... looking forward to thursday, but can't do tomoz
will post more tonight, but basically I got the kids from the arvo onwards...
and... yuppers... still that sorta area... won't know more for sure till closer to the time, but hanging to move... I've had most of my stuff in boxes for months, which in turn, makes me wonder if I really need any of it??

Well im sure they would still be welcome for some chai, twirl and a swim. Lol oh well, i will be there tomorrow but not thurs Do you think you will be going to juggle jam on mon?
Before i started moving stuff i was in the 'I've gone through it, i want it all still'
After hauling my books over there i was like 'No way i need this' You realise that if things can sit in a box under the house for over a year without being used, then you can probably live without them. Consequently i now have half the books i once had Heaps of junk gone to...
Oh yeah, anyone want a really old road bike for free? Lol its a pretty dodgy beater i used to ride to uni once in a while. I figure 3 bikes is too many to take to my new place :P

Oh BOTH you guys are fantastic guitar players! Anyone who can play a guitar can make me swoon, as far as I'm concerned. Such a lovely sound that seems to resonate inside you when you listen.. mmm smooove. So calming. Damn wish I could play. I used to be able to play a few token metallica songs, most of which I've forgotton
Yes Tony... you certainly have not been keeping up appearances. You should be coming to juggle......
