...by me, Meenik (aka Nick Woolsey, of thevenue.org/playpoi.com and the videos nickwithfire and Dervishly Yers).



My little Brother and I are driving across Canada, mid August - Mid September. I will be stopping to teach workshops and/spin fire anywhere that I'm wanted. Currently confirmed: Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and PEI. Hopefully we'll fill in the blanks



It started like this: my little brother was going to drive to Halifax from Vancouver to visit our family, and he said to me, "you have to come, we may never get another chance to drive across the country together."



I couldn't deny his logic, and since I'd already been emailing with somebody in Montreal for months about teaching my scales-of-poi workshops I figured, heck, why not launch a GREAT CANADIAN Poi TOUR ADVENTURE?



So, anybody want to help organize workshops? Just email me at nickATplaypoi.com. I can also bring cool Poi gear. And we'll make a movie of the whole thing and you and your town/village/city can be part of it. You'll be famous!



If you're wondering who the heck I am anyway, I invite you to visit www.playpoi.com and check out the videos and photos, or theveue.org to find out about all my other artistic exploits.



Swoosh,

Grow old but never grow up

That can probably be arranged. It looks like I'm doing workshops in both Toronto and Montreal, so take your pick.

I think I'll be in Montreal for a little longer. And I have more extracurricular activities there.

newbie but learning fast

I bailed on Pakistan. It was just too much to take on. I was already getting ready for the final round of filming, moving out of the studio, moving out of my home, and organizing the tour. Also, they couldn't give me any references... and when I really checked in with myself, I felt like it was a bad idea for me to go. I've done wilder things, but I'm pretty vulnerable right now.

I'm in contact with the person who did go though. So far it's ok but she's pretty confined to her hotel quarters for security reasons. I'm looking forward to the full report.

But back to the tour: Yes, new dates are posted on playpoi.com/touringpoiworkshops.htm. I leave this thursday.

Getting to the other side

Hey Rovo, I already emailed you about it, also, I have another guy coming up from NY, a town called Bativa or some such? How close are you guys etc? If you two can carpool up here, he can save money on the bus, and you can save money on gas (considering how expensive it is, it's not a bad idea). I'll get you in touch with him via email. It's so nice to see interest from all sides of the border
ALSO,
For the toronto workshop, if anyone wants to come back to my house on the saturday night, I'm gonna see if we can go to a local park (not hard considering I have half a dozen nicely sized parks within a 5 minute walk in any direction), and have a spin session.
If you're interested in coming my mailing address is on the Meet Others directory, or you can contact me in PM or email
Cheers
Gram
