SunnySam - Thanx I love my "Super" Avatar. Oh and Im still in search of fellow spinners in my local area. Most I know are always busy.
Pink...? - Seven Habits and The Art of Happiness Helped me pull my life together and achieve true independancy from and ugly relationship going down in horrid flames.... and not the kind I would ever wanna spin.
Im a Salvatore semi-fanatic... as soon as he puts a book out I buy it and then torture myself trying to read it as slow as possible cause as sson as Im done its another year till his next one comes out. Ive been reading his books since 1991. I got my borther, sister and a dozen or so friends all stuck on his stuff now. I love to share!

Hello! to HoP! I'd never heard of Doumbek before I read your intro there, but now I've googled it: cool!
Have you had a look in the 'events, performances and gatherings' section of the forum to see if there's anything spinny going on near you?

WOOOOOOW! I finally did it. This last Tuesday night at Pennsic 35 I spun 4 times in one evening. I sooo could have gone all night long. I never really imagined it could feel so awesome. I got pictures of the first 3 burns and video of the first two but I didnt get ANY footage of the last (and best) burn! The only one where I had any music to spin to. I gotta say it was worth the 1.5 year wait. No mistakes really, no drops, it was AWESOME! I still get all jittery thinking about it. Ill get the photos and video up soon for everyone to see. I hope you all like em. I know I enjoyed makin em.
