Ahhhh, just had the amazing pleasure of spending 5 days or so with Clare and Lisa of the delectable FirePoise. Had 3 gigs, 3 days of mental rehearsals, 1 afternoon of fun and a whole day of cleaning a car.
The up-side of this (aside from spending lovely time with lovely people in a lovely place) was lots of footage.
Only got one video finished at the moment - but I have to say it's my personal faveourite.
Will hopefully get a couple more up later, but for now:
Burnt Farl
66mb DivX Avi (Might as well start putting up larger files as lots of people are on broadband nowadays)
Some beautiful wiggling and spinning from Clare, and some vaguely wiggly techy stuff from me, plus some Contact Juggling which is pretty much identical to any CJ i ever do and some staffing malarky. There's rather too much of me in it really, this isn't vanity. Possibly.
Some Enchanted Evening
Some clips of us spinning at the Enchanted Forest evening in Belfast Botanic Garden. Lots of UV
Very floaty...
The Rock & Roll lifestyle of spinners
A mini rockumentary on the trials and tribulations of putting on a show. Sort of. Does actually have some spinning in it... Probably only funny if you were there. Ho-hum.
Massive thanks to Clare for helping me remember how to spin properly - the Tuesday night fire session was one of my best fire spins ever, if only I'd recorded it

Hahahahah.
Hmmm... £300 or Glastonbury...
Never been to Glastonbury, but not really sure I want to.... would definitely like to make it to the likes of the Rainbow festival thingy and Knockgnorrach (ahem), next year.
Tis smaller, with less rubbish.
I'll take the money option, thanks

(and those spanks are not in the suggestive way, more the slap-across-the-side-of-the-head way)

Puh... you weren't a muppet then, dammit. You were a woodland sprite. There is a difference...
Was going to explain it, but probably don't need to.
Goddammit, can't you even get into character properly?
