----------- Spinning@... Update -----------
Dear all
we have moved to a new location.... se here for the new treead
[Old link]
see you at the rag factory..
this is why we have moved...
We had discussions in the pub on Tuesday regarding the use of the market for spinning@spitz and thanks to friends we have a much clearer idea of what’s going on:
Unfortunately we are not allowed back into the market for our workshops. It seems that while we have been out the market for the work, there has been a change of management. The new management appears to want to “increase the value” of the market area (gentrification is the term being used). This has led to many of the existing tenants not being invited to re enter the market, our selves included.
The st’georges residents association would have had no idea we would not be allowed back in, so although annoying its not their fault. We still have contacts in the market and we don’t want to cut out any future possibility of re-entering the market at a later date by kicking up a fuss, especially when there is no chance at all of us using the space in the current climate.
We need to do 2 things… 1. Find a temporary place to play ASAP… (see top) and 2. Find a permanent new home… to help us move forward we need your help. Please think of the people around you, be it your parents, friends, colleagues etc and see if there is anyone who may be able to finds us a new home… put the feelers out there.
If you find somewhere that fits our criteria (see below) then please get a contact name, a number or email and if appropriate, have a brief chat with them as a recommendation or personal contact makes a huge difference. If they are interested, forward their details to me and I will then chase it up.
We require an indoor or covered outdoor area with adequate lighting able to house up to 100 people on a Tuesday evening within 10mins from a tube and centrally located. We also require power to run a portable stereo.
On another note we have decided to have a Xmas party to raise some funds to help us secure a new spinning@..... ‘s venue. The confirmed date is Thursday 20th December in a Brixton from about 7.30 pm to 1 am. More details to follow.
Hopefully we will get sorted very soon and in the meantime we will meet at the poet next week and maybe look at ice skating, bowling or something else there after.
Huge hugs
Kev and the guys at spinning@.... ‘s

Hmmm, *might* be along tonight, but the 'rents have just got back from New Orleans so might see them - however, they might be really jet-lagged anyway.

I posted that a week ago. So if I'll be there in THREE weeks but that was ONE week ago...
3-1 =
I'll see you in two weeks.
Written by: NYC
Not this tuesday, not next tuesday nor the tuesday after that... but the Tuesday after THAT... I'm there.
Though I'll be coming directly off of the plane with no sleep the night before so I'm not sure how solid my poi will be.

nakedflame - it's on the opposite side from the Spitz Bar, you'll see us easily.
Anyway, I shall be along tonight, might even stay for longer than last time and get to meet some people. Most times I don't seem to manage it!

Could someone who goes to Spitz fairly regularly do me a favour?
Firstly, I'm curious to know if Simian still goes, since I havn't heard from him for ages, since he lost internet access.
Secondly, I have a load of hugs here that need handing out, can someone nominate themselves as Random Hug Distributer on my behalf?

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

i want to come visit in a couple of weeks time, but i'm a bit shy...
Is there any chance some lovely lovely poi-er would meet me at the nearest tube station? i hate walking places that i don't know on my own.
I'll wear big fairy wings so you know who i am!

P.S. I'm also not very good, so don't laugh when i hit myself over and over and over again!

Hey all,
Just like to say that I just went to my first ever poi event last night and I think it was brilliant. Very impressive variaty of things going on. (poi, juggling, diablo, devil sticks, staff) Twas all good. And I managed to learn a few moves (and reduce the amount of times I kept hitting myself in the head :-P) I was the bloke in the green London to Brighton 2004 t-shirt and the green sock poi (freshly from my old PE kit).
Just like that say thanks to all for making my first night welcoming. I will be returning.

I remember the t-shirt, but not sure I met the person. hmmmm.
Anyway, glad you enjoyed it and see you down there again!
(It was actually a bit quiet - lots of people were busy packing for Glasto)

Appearing at the next spitz, for one night only:
NYC!
Even more grumpy, jet-lagged, smelly, and irritable than usual!
See! The horror of someone who has only slept for 4 hours in the last 48.
Hear! The tales of how he trudged there and is far too tired to spin.
Smell! The rank odor of someone who's been on a plane and hasn't showered.
Feel! The confusion of the lost American as he stumbles around looking for the "subway".
Taste! Um... no actually you probably don't want to do that.
Anyway, I'm damn excited. Be gentle with me though, it will be a rough 48 hours.
