So, one of the many awesome things about my time in NZ was the fire-folk who gather on Victoria park every Tuesday night in fine weather. A bunch guys provide fuel, amped tunes and entertaining chat (for as much money as you can spare) and everyone just rocks up and plays, learns and teaches as they so desire.
I really miss it and wish there was something like that here in London. Anybody know of such a thing??
Would be very keen to find out . . .

Ok so, now I'm on this site I realise I totally missed the point of the intro chat. Oh well, no redeeming myself on that initial blunder I guess so may as well forge ahead and do what I'm appaerntly supposed to (see below) Of course this entry does have the bonus of making it look like someone already does want to talk to me! ha ha, cunning!!
Name: Bex
Location: London
DOB: was my birthday last week
Age: 26 (new questionnaire bracket darn it)
Sex: Female
Occupation(s): TV prodction coordiator
Favorite Food(s): fish. fruit. chocolate. not together.
Toys: new bike (hope it doesn't get nicked), 3 sets of poi (depending on what mood I'm in), super8 camera (like it that everything looks like it's in the 70s)
Hobbies other than the obvious: dating. usually makes for funny stories I can amuse my flatmates/ friends abroad/ my already-married sister with.
Education: is an aimiable thing but it is worth remembering, from time to time, that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Favorite Book(s): too difficult a question. Have just finished reading Life of Pi though and did think it was superb.
Favorite Movie(s): Again, same as above. So will instead answer - Last film I saw that made me cry: Walk the Line. Last film that made me laugh out loud: Brice de Nice. Last film that had me on the edge of my seat: Bad Education. Last film that had me hiding under my seat: Swingers, when he's leaving that message for the girl he met at the bar and just makes a copmplete hash of it, just kills me.
Favorite TV show(s): I make it I don't watch it.
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) Keep moving till I find somewhere I want to stop.
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: haven;t you guessed yet, I don't 'do' favourites.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Cream of Galloway's 'Chocolate to Die For'
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?
No question, Nutella. although only in small quantities as I have a shady past of eating whole jars at a time with a spoon during my fat adolecence.

Heya Bex, welcome to HoP!
in answer to your first post - yes head for the band stand on Clapham Common on a Sunday afternoon/evening. I'm pretty sure folk still gather there.
Failing that, check the events section of the board for stuff going on near you!

My state of mind is not yours to define!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
