Welcome mate
Hope you enjoy it here. As said so many times before, if you're not playing cards with an elevator that goes to the top of the sandwiches, you'll fit right in!!!

hello, I got really excited when i read that you were from eastern suburbs of melb, cos i too am of the mystic east. But then you go and move to brisbane. hardly fair.
I've started spinning bout 3 years ago, but it doesn't show cos i'm pretty slack.
I like lots of music, and have been getting into folk more an more recently.
Enjoy your stay, m'dear.

You love dragons? So do I. I came back from Germany with one and I got one for Christmas. Dragons can act so silly, my new one is proof positive.

i have a Bearded Dragon, its a type of preotected species here in Australia, its funny as all hell, but they are so dosile...
most people dont want to pat it, so i just stick it in my mouth just to prove that they are harmless...
they dont taste too good though :P

hi there!
another brisbane spinner to add to the collection!! lovely!!
you should check out moonfest!! fairly sure there's a link somewhere on moonpixie or bec's intros or profiles!! moonfest is a monthly gathering of brisbane-ish twirlers!! the next one is jan 25 i think...i'm sorta from bris too! i live 3 hours away for now though...but i'm gonna try & make it back for moonfest! i've been twirling for about a year and a half i think, but like myco, i'm a bit slack so ya can't tell i've been twirling for that long!!
i also bought some fire devil sticks at woodford the other day, so there's something else to hit myself with! hehe. what else did you ask...oh music!! i like lots of stuff!! from kittie to john butler trio! i just really don't like country music or hip hop or rap or punk! 
do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!

I had a bit of a Laugh today, there were two ladies playing with devil sticks at national Geographic...trying to promote them or something.
I asked them if i could have a little turn, and of course wasn't that retarded at it as they were...the first thing that both of the girls asked is
"Are you a fire spinner by any chance?"
It feels good to know that people recognise our skills

Yoh Seth...
I know what you mean about having the skills recognised. The coolest thing is that where I live now (Richardsbay South Africa to answer question number 1) very few people have even seen what we do. So I get a lot of oohs and aahhs (although I'm not very good.)
Been spinning for about 4 years, but seriously for the last year, and into pretty much anything in fir performing, but try to avoid fire breathing...
Music: Anything from classical to heavy metal. Bit wierd but so am I, it's all the parrafin, it's not just good on cornflakes

i would love to go to New Zeland, and sww the best fire spinner over there, that would be crazy, cause is't almost second nature i reckon..but yeah. that would be pretty nice for me.
i burnt myself last night when fire spinning...but i had a bit too much to drink, i've learnt my lesson, my hair is now a little shorter...
it was the funniest thing though, my lil bro couldn't stop laughing, i was spinnin, it and then threw it in the air, i looked at him and it hit me right on the head
