Ooh ooh! Well, I don't think any HOPpers came, but we had 30-40 fire spinners/jugglers/whatever come, way more than expected! Not to mention about 200 people watching that strolled by randomly and stayed to watch. Awesome people, great conversation, lots of spinning and fire! And not a single accident in the 4 or 5 hours of constant fwirlage. Good fun!

Pictures will be put up soon on www.vex-xev.com. Due to the awesomeness of this event, we're making it monthly, possibly every other week. Definitely at least every first friday of the month, but maybe every first and third friday. Yummy!

Hey, are you guys going to that Pismo gathering in April? Would be great to see you guys there -- there are going to be soo many people there! I think it's going to be better than Burning Man, since the focus will be on the spinning. It's too hard to just think about fire at Burning Man when there's so much other stuff going on that you want to do!

Never heard of what you're talking about, can you give me info, or link me to a place with info? Sounds like fun, I'd love to go!

Update on this coming friday's gathering:

"Ventura fire spinning/drumming gathering 4/2/04 at 8:00 by the Ventura Pier. Bring friends and family, dogs and squirrels. https://blackestheart.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1080448294
for more info"

We're hoping for 50 people or so this time! There's a bunch of drummers planning on attending so we'll have some nice live music to spin to. Local officials have been spoken to and it is a legal event now! See you on friday.
