Welcome fellow Aussie spinner!
I love Brisbane, great atmosphere and lots of colourful (maybe pink) people. Also a great spinning and twirling shop.
And don't forget, 5bt weaves look boring if you can't dance with them...

zarkia- thank you and and and 
i have pretty much got a hyperloop down too, and last night when i was playing i got the side to side butterfly that looks like a croc/alligator, so that was pretty exciting! 
its great i have been practicing heaps at night with cheap arse glow loop things on the end (really cheap - $1 and they last for nights and nights as long as you put them in the freezer when you are finished) and for some reason i can always get the things i try at night pretty much first time if i cant see what the strings/socks are doing *shrugs* strange how different people work. but yes its all very new and exciting for me as i am a fast learner!!!
gidg- or maybe my excuse should be that im compltely unco when it comes to that kind of thing and im just using my height as an excuse but SHHH!!! ya cant tell anyone ok??

<i need to find someone to show me what a hyperloop is before i can even attempt it.
i've checked out a little video of someone doing it but cant fathom whats going on.
and greetings, anyway..
although we've already met.
so should i still greet you?
is this all redundant (like me (as in, no work))?
anyway.
wow!
and:
yay!

Gidg- i can do a hyperloop when im not thinking about it and im playing with glow things, but if i try to think about it and practice in the day it doesnt work- go figure!!!
Meditator- you cacn say hello as many times as you want (well maybe... it might get a little annoying if you say it every second word...( but
thank you for the hellos oh yeah... im a visual learner too, and the only time i have ever seen a hyperloop was a tiny little video on the net, so it is possible. just lots of tangling and whacking, but keep at it... if i can, anyone can!!!
bec- yes i am planning on coming and meeting lots of people as i will know a huge total of about 2 people when i move up, and in my experience poi-ers/spinners are always such wonderful lovely people, so yes it is definately part of my plan
is there any kind of weekly meet in bris at this stage???

i officially, as of this moment, have 200 more posts than you.
i honestly didn't think that'd be possible, considering how you were going there for a while...
obviously you have been neglecting your poi-studies, young lady...
tut-tut.
