meow - i hope your firey search was fruitful!
remember there's wednesday nights that realistically start at about 8:30pm and peak from at about 9:30pm! I'll put these times up on a flyer at juggleart, as someone's gone and taken off the flyer I'd put so much work into
so it explains why peeps have stopped contacting me about Wednesday nights!!! a bit mean, but eh Laugh Often, Smile Much, Post lolcats Always

Sorry I wasn't there last Sunday. I will be attending this week.
Flynt, is the English guy staying with you (sorry, i've forgotten his name) coming this weekend?
I hope to film some of his body roll staff tricks.
See you all there.

Congratulation to Kerri and her fire troopers.
It was great to see you made the front page of the Herald/Sun on Tuesday. There was also a wicked centre page spread with the whole troop. Great pics, great stuff. Unfortunately, I haven't found any pics at the Herald/Sun site. Hi Mel

Sorry guys, didn’t make it last night.
I was really looking forward to some fire spinning, but someone on a moby smashed into the back of my car while it was parked out side a friends place. We were juggling out the back with some new toys, when we heard this gigantic boom of shattering glass. So we raced around the front. My car, a rather solid old ford XF sedan, was pushed 4 metres up a incline, in park with the hand brake on, by a Pulsar. Anyhow, they have full insurance and I limped home.
Next week, I hope

wow frank glad you're physically unhurt!!!
i don't use the term 'newbie' anymore, but i love to say that meeting new faces is killah. (none of it was fillah)

Was lovely to meet some of you last night, and Bender....Jesus H. Christ, you ROCK with the doubles!
Thankyou Flynt for taking the time to show me some of the basics. Woof! I will try and be less new by next wednesday, provided it doesn't rain.
Will come along next wednesday for sure, provided it doesn't rain! Less chillly weather would be nice, but that can't be helped.

"newbie" as in folks that havent been to edinburp before, rather than new to spinning.

yeh, thing is, i never really liked the term newbie for that or anything else really. sorry it has nowhere enough reverence. It implies self importance.

i thought i might have been able to make an appearance last wednesday...but alas, no.
i have a student free day coming up in a few mondays time, so there is a possibility that that sunday before might be a go-er...or are sundays still a bit dead?
i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

Arnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

Bender, we soooo need another market day, soooon!!! I'm out of town for a bit but will sms soon. Hija Stone, just found out last night we have a connection in the form of lovely Chrissie!What a spin!..so to speak. Well outside is pouring and I'm not thinking any fuels gonna be burning for a wee while so I'll hibernate for a bit until it dries up.Big luvs and hugs to all I haven't seen for ages!!

So Bender, now I know why the sky was a reddish colour last Wednesday night
I usually drop bye about 9ish, following juggling with a friend, but I didn’t even bother last week, as it was teeming out in the burbs. The BOM Four Day Forecast for Melbourne has clearing showers for Wednesday, with a 50% probability of rain (0.0mm??). Fingers crossed for this week. Hi tjoni, good to see you back on line. lol
yes it’s a small world, and a “spin out” all right .

Hija Stone,perhaps, but I think they maybe a little more apprehensive if you practised inside!!look forward to catching up!
Hey Bendy, just checked out your EC thread, and I must say I'm gettin' a wee bit frivolous and feeling like a bit of a paarrty rather soon...,I might just have to come out of my shell and see what all the fuss is about!
Flynt hon, toooo long babe, hope to see you real soon!! Still out woop woop, but next week I'll be in town, so fingers crossed the weather will be simply lurrrvvvly then, as I haven't smelt the sweet scent of fuelage for so long my eyes are watering in anticipation ....
