hola.

sorry, i know i could have searched through the forums and got a better idea, but with a slow dial-up connection, i'm just really not all that keen to at the moment. sorry.
so, i've just returned to melbourne after a stint in vancouver, canada and i wanna meet up with some local firey-types to practise and learn more. so far, i've gathered that there's a pretty regular meeting on wednesday's in the edinburger gardens - 830ish? and sunday on st kilda beach behind luna park at about 5pm?
am i about right? if so, i guess i'll see you then. if not, can someone post the corrections to this thread so i don't have to read through the whole twenty-something pages to find it.

Being much-loved as you are, Tjoni, it will be easier to bear your absence when you're back in Melbourne! Your life seems to be in lots of motion!

it's ridiculously hot here right now (37 deg tomorrow) so we kinda have a taste of how you're frying!

Troy, i see from your avatar that:
1. youre schwatz is as big as mine
2. You're still totally into the FF series!

Pi, yes wednesdays and sundays are still goin year 'round as stated on these threads! just bring your toys and smiles! Wednesday night will be sultry and nice weather (shame ima too broken to go!!)

seeyousearound! peace

Is this wednesday night twirl still on, even though it's xmas eve?

I do poi nearly every day. But it's not like I'm addicted or anything. I mean, sure, I am always conscious of exactly where my poi are at all times, but I'm not obsessed. um.. Anyone have the number for Poi-ers Anon?

Hey Bender!
How is your recovery going? Not getting down over the lack of jump roping I hope. hug
Were you at Earthcore despite the spite 'o' the leg? Was just having a look at their website when I noticed that there, too, was a Bender. I would have loved to have met up dude. rolleyesNext time I guess...

i know its short notice (but its been chrissie!) but i was wondering if anyone was going to the st. kilda gathering tomorrow night (28th dec). i want to go but flynt's still in tassie (ill get u when u get back! watch urself u might get glomped!) and i think bart left last week (messaged him anyway!)......so anyone? im too shy to just rock up and hope (and my parents prolly wouldnt be too happy with that either *waits until she's 18 so she can drive!!!*)

maybe PM me with a mobile number or i can give u mine! i'll be wearing a rainbow hat!

i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

Rougie: but that's what I'm doing here
Arnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

I'm starting to really look forward to my visit now biggrin

*flips absently through map of Melbourne*
Hmm, there's a metro station called Batman. I'll have to go there at some stage, just because of the cool name smile

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

d'y'know bov, i very nearly lived 50m away from batman station..... thank goodness that didnt work out, its a bit dumpy!

Pi! just FYI matey, the sunday meetings are on summer timetable now, so we meet up at Seven (7) pm, as there is too long a wait for those who want to do fire if we start at five pm....

but yes, its business as usual otherwise!

Missing you munchkins uber muchly, cant wait to be back in melb!! xoxoxox
loads of love

Hello friends and foe.. or foes.. or maybe it's fi - anyway.. i've been away from HOP for so long now and it's all different and scary and i just thought my first new post should be in here - you know, because it's like home and stuff (and also if i screw it up no ruffs will come beat me up.. here's hoping anyway).
That aside, is anyone going to sunday spinning in st kilda tommorrow? (looks at flynt, throws shoe at flynt).

Hi guys

so ummmm I'm pretty tired and all at the moment, and I owe the sunday crew an apology for not being there lately...

Think I'm gonna take some time off spinning, sorry about that. I'm fairly confident that sundays will get enough ppl to stand on its own for a while, its' fairly well advertised, and wednesdays is really kicking off again, yay!

Love to all

see above note for details.

In other news: Sunday the 22nd see's the arrival of YET ANOTHER Sydney Hopper to our fair (?) Melbourne City!

Dentrassi will be attending Sunday Night spinning at St Kilda on the 22nd, so if you'd like a Hug and a twirl with a mad man from Sydney, do pop along! He's lovely and definately worth meeting....

and yes

I'll be there.
