hiya - i've been here a couple of years now and just feel like i'm getting to know some of you. I thought maybe it would make more sense for me to re-introduce myself, cos i didn't really know what this board was like when i first arrived and now i'm just about catching up with a few people on post numbers!



My name's Martha and i'm a stage manager/technician (basically whatever i can get!) in london. I originally come from Glastonbury which DOESN'T have a festival dispite popular belief!



I've been poi-ing for just over 4 years and i had no idea there were so many people doing it until i discovered this board, and found out that people who've been going for a few months have a lot to teach me! (it's a bit isolated in somerset). I also just started staff a few months ago, but i'm not very good yet.



I have run lots of poi workshops and lessons in N london (but not now - too much WORK!) and at festivals in the summer, so if anyone wants any work helping out u know who to PM....!



well that's me, so don't be starngers.



Lodsa love to all,



marf. XxX smile hug

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

There is a big gathering of fire people from HoP (and others I think) down in Sevenoaks.

[Old link] is about the valentine's day gathering, but details are dispersed in [Old link] about the first time they did the weekend in Kent thing.

Hope you can make it!

Really? Does it have loads of tea rooms and startled looking hippies with dogs on string instead?


You know contrary to popular belief , the Woodstock Festival wasn't organised by Snoopy's little yellow bird mate. But was a i surprised when i found that little gem out...

Tao my little plum pudding kiss

Even though I cant say it was lovely meeting you, as I have aready met you, it was better getting to know you better.

I hope you got back to the station to needed to get to,. My clothes all stink. Mummy put them in a washing machine and they came out and they dont smell now.

smile

See you in London.

woah, my intro has been burried for a veeeeeeery long time - i never got the whole chat on your own intro thread.

it was nice to get to know you better too, you with the green & black, i have a very amusing video of you running through a field looking like a warped batman which i will post for your delight later on.

And i'm glad you don't smell, although i'm afraid that means you're out of the hippy club now. sorry dude, i don't make the rules...hug


prob see you in london in a couple a weeks.

Vanize i love you already - anyone who shares a mutt obsession must be diamond. I was going to ask you if you have recovered yet, but as you appear to be one of the most laid back people EVER i won't. instead i will give you one of these... hug and some juggle and a ubbloco just for good measure.

i only got up at 2 today so i obviously didn't sleep enough at falmouth and yet i'm still tired??? so sorry if this is garbage, my brain don't function too well.

hey biggrin

how were the super noodles? tongue

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.
