Super groovy video editing! How did you get the helicopter view at the end with everyone spinning on the roof, rent a helicopter? Kudos from Ohio. Hope to run into you all next year.

Groovy

Again wow, some very nice people in there .

Cool locations, costumes and everything..

Class, thank you.



ps : Is the giant crystall ball real ?

Posted: 22nd Dec 2010
The giant ball is just a big hollow metal ball.

And the Guild is good friends with this guy Chip that owns a helicopter and a runway on Grosse Ile, which is right next to where I live I've had some of the best times of my life with these people, and I really wish I had known about this before, and I'm ever so happy to be considered one of the best poi spinners and teaching so many people both basics and many of my more advanced things to newcomers and the professionals. They teach everyone, including me, not just poi, but all of these arts, and regularly have free workshops on not only skills (not jusr performing ones either, there's even been leather mask making), but how to show yourself better as a performer. There's been ones on different skill toys, the concept of isolating, as in everything, including parts of your body. My personal favorite was the one on how to moonwalk backwards, sideways, in a circle, and forward.

And of course, it's not limited to performing and practicing together, everyone that goes is bound to make more friends than they can remember the names to. I still can't remember everyone's name because they just keep coming

The only luck is bad luck.

That's really cool, and sounds like a good group of people.

Hoorah, a post that's not trying to sell me shoes!

Also, a really cool vid - that looks like a great and varied group of people to work / play with.

Hell yeah, they have open practices on Monday, and Tuesday in Ann Arbor. There's more new people every week
