Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

we now have chimera performing at southern lights, they wanted to do the show they were planning to do at glastonbury the week after but are now unable to do.
so we have 2 fireshows / acts on the saturday night and apparently simon says we are performing on the friday but I can see a full show being veto'd in preference of a mild warm up act for the saturday
