Posted:7th Oct 2005yeah...UCE is a crap school. So disorganise
But nevermind, only UCE can provide the course i want among all Uni in uk, so no other choice.

So, who will go to Nottingham this weekend for the big meet?
Should be a cool one~!

Posted:10th Oct 2005aye, fine by me. lectures run from 9-11 on that day and that's it for me so any time really.

I kinda picked up a fountain-y shaped staff combination already tongue

done pretty much entirely behind the back (hip level pass then round to a above-the-head level pass) biggrin

Still gotta practice the basics a lot though, I get uneven rotations on each side...oh well, not bad for 30 mins of staff...ever!

Why can't learning subjects feel like learning poi frown

Posted:11th Oct 2005Yes but I can stand around for hours being frustrated by poi. Whilst education loses me at the first hint of frustration, like waking up.

Posted:12th Oct 2005Gah! I can't make it this Thursday because my parents are visiting me and I can't fob them off again (yes, AGAIN) because I fobbed them off like the day before they were meant to visit, that I was going to Nottingham and they weren't too happy about it tongue

Oh yeah, I've kinda gotta go because I've gotta pick up my digi cam so hopefully I can work out how to get uber fire poi pics biggrin

Keep me posted on the possible Sunday spins though, I'd definitely wanna go. Ta

Posted:12th Oct 2005Right, Sunday-wise I've got a possible indoor venue in mind where we might be able to burn, but will have to check with the proprietors.

If not then from what Sandy was saying, the UniBrum car park sounded like the best option.

I probably won't be able to make this coming weekend, but don't let that stop the rest of you!

Hands up who'll be coming a week on Sunday?

Posted:13th Oct 2005Hi all. Thought i'd make myself known in the ol' brum thread. I'm gonna try to make it up to a sunday spin. Indoor place would be awesome with the crappy weather we're gonna start getting. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Could somebody stop the room please... I'd like to get off

Ben, why don't you give your parents an extensive tour of aston lake?? wink

hah, i would've, but they were offering to pay for lunch and as a student i couldn't really resist...i even left my stomach empty since yesterday lunchtime so i could cram today tongue

also got a new digital camera now, so next time someone's making a burn, i'll play around with it so i can get some decent trails. biggrin

Posted:14th Oct 2005i was in birmingham today!!

made a visit to the NCC!!

what fun! i met another hopper there too, he was on the way to stoke! i nearlly went with him, purely cause mechs avatar says he in stoke, but apparently not!

Yeah for birmingham! there is loads of cool place for "photodelic" shots! the water features outside the NCC are lovely, we lunched there!

Pyroflow will be in b'ham in december, doing a show at the ncc! the stage is rather scary! argh...

passing through, this world still lives.
