Mr Fish o'flame is right, I think we need to have a new thread for the second meet especially as it won't let me edit the title of the old one rolleyes



So here's the open invitation to everyone who reads this to join us in Falmouth. It seems most agree on the weekend of 6th-8th or there round abouts (I'll be there from the 5th) and we're camping



here at the same campsite



and spending our nights



here on Maenporth Beach



If you wanna see what the last meeting looked like visit



Soton Firespinners to download the video



If anyone wants to come just turn up but we'd appreciate a post or two to let us know so we can be sure the campsite can expect a certain number of people although they have lots of space and no doubt would fit us in without a problem.



Its a winner, you know it makes sense, be there or be a square poi and besides what else have you got to do you bunch of weirdos!?! wink



And if we want it better I think we should be a little better prepared for funness, does anyone have one of those massive tents like army ones? Or would anyone be interested in piling into a couple of chalets perhaps? And maybe a generator for tunes on the beach *cough*strugz*cough* for when the bones start showing through Mags' fingers?! wink Any other suggestions folks? Could people all try to bring a little wood with them please? Even a few sticks each will make a massive difference but if Brad wants to use his 100% work discount again that'd be well cool biggrin hug2



So who's-a comin? bounce bounce2 grouphug devil kiss beerchug wow hehe ubbrollsmile juggle weavesmiley ubblove biggrin ubbidea sunny

falmouth is rocking hard so many wicked ppl are here (talking on the past tense of thursday) we had 19 ppl at the beach last night cant wait for tonight should be maaaaaaaaaassive

ps mech smells like pee

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Ah well see you all later.. back to the asylum.

thanks for a lovely weekend, esp Mags for the use of his house - cheers man.

Hope to see a lot of you at the Bristol, where you'll all be converted to contact poi and wibbling no doubt!

there's nothing quite as fulfilling as a tasty airwrap

So many nice people,and so much talent i was in ore most of the time i was there.
The numchucks videos i filmed are amazing.
I can see many people coming back doing more contact juggling then ever. I was trying with an apple, didnt have the same effect though ubblol
Learnt so much my brain is over flowwing with new ideas and tricks . I gotta find some sock poi cause there so easy to work with.

Thanks to custom bug for showing me sooo much, and mac and jeff for making me laugh soo much.

I want the ''hope of poi dance'' to become famous lol, i was chanting it as i went to sleep last night.

Excelent EXCELENT night! biggrin sunny

Even though I was only there friday frown



I normally post on Spherculism.com but no-one ther seems to have gone. Maby I should start posting here.



I think my intake was too high beerchug ubbloco and interaction too low, but hey, live and learn.



I'm afraid I have very poor memory for names/faces so if there is anyone here who went on friday please tell me something I might remember you by ( where you were sitting etc...)



You might remember me as the guy who lit up his brand new mokeyfists, went for the first spin of the night, and finished by lobbing one miles down the beach (and into the sea). redface

MASSIVE thankx to the guy who found it! IOU man.



Or the guy who on his last spin of the night finished by smacking the forementioned monkeyfist into his forehead! ooooops



Or the guy with the baby nana



Hope every one else had at least as good a time as me!

And got home safely.meditate



Roll on Falmouth III excl peace



PS: I have some video of some guy (possibly Oli judging from Jem's description) doing wicked slick stuff with firepoi on friday night, came out quite cool. The guy had a mass of dreads in a kind of bag thing and was doing poi right near the group on the seaward side. If this sound like you I will gladly post you the clip on vid for free.

(So long as I can keep the original for inspiration smile)
