If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Thought I should visit my neighbours site in return for their visits here, and check out sum of this ultra modern glowsticking “style” you guys been on about. Reception was a bit could though, and now I’m waiting for a glowstix video to download from HOP, as none were obviously available at GS.C.

there is a verb form of dancing with stringed glowsticks-- glowstringing.

it's what you DO with the tool that set things apart. If you play basketball with a soccerball, you are playing basketball. If you are juggling chainsaws, you aren't ... chopping down trees, but juggling.

I get the impression that quite a few people on GSC don't know a lot about poi at all - even including people like Wes. There seems to be a lack of concept of planes, timing and placement, and an idea that poi is all about moves like the weave and windmill.
Wes for instance talks about how a weave is a technical move because it always requires the "over-under-out" combination and thus limits your freedom. But this is only true if you've just learnt it and haven't gone further to the point where you stop doing "moves" and just use the techniques you've learnt from them to just spin. How often to good spinners just do a "weave" for instace rather than using weave-type motions to move the poi from a to b?
And it's just as possible for a poi spinner to take up hardly any room in a club - just requires cleaner planes and perhaps tricks like isolations and insides

i don't use fire, socks or glowsticks - i use led juggling balls in nets on the end on shoelaces.
all of the things you list here are attainable with poi of that setup as they are with poi using glowsticks as the head.
i still don't see why these elements of POI STYLE warrants a verb of its own 'glowstringing'.

...... i do not claim the verb 'aeronetstringing' to describe what i do to set it apart from firepoi or sockpoi.
