Thanks that´s great! Any listings for meetings in Granada?

Also, an update: makabra was closed down by police two weeks ago. There have been protests ever since, but have just reopened at a new site nearby in defiance of police barricades! VIVA LA MAKABRA! (near metro station Poble Nou) ... more updates soon!

¡hola todos! smile

Entre junio y julio, vamos a ir a el norte de España, ante el fiesta de "Nowhere" (www.nowheredays.com), con mi amiga. Deseamos conocer otros hilanderos (¿como se dice "Spinners en español?)

OK, I'll stop offending everyone with my awful spanish skills smile I promise it will get better by the time I get to spain with my friend in June. We'll be travelling around north and central spain for around 2-3 weeks before the nowhere festival (www.goingnowhere.org in english) and would love to meet with all you lovely people in spain! What cities do you guys hang out in, and meet up? I've just made a wonderful collapsible staff for travelling with, and want to take it out to meet people!

Hasta luego

Hy akgraphics!!
I´ll be back in the Basque country for the end of June, would be lovely to meet up!1 Send me a PM if you come around San Sebastian.

About the paraffin,..you can get it at the ferreterias, or you can buy what is called "agua de fuego" in juggling stores.

I´m going to try to update this post with the conventions from this year 2morrow. If I don´t get to know how to do it, I will open a new one with them.

There are loads of festival and conventions, so I will start with the conventions.

For anyone interested, next weekend, is trhe LEON Convention, 27, 28, 29 of april, and I´ll be there!! So if anyone is around I will love to catch up with some spinners!! And for those ones that have more time, the same weekend, in Gijon there is another convention, but that one is longer, monday and tuesday included ( as there is a bank holiday!!)

Keep spinning!!

Peace and Love

Hope the update helps!!



For anyone interested there is an intensive clown workshop by Marcelo Katz from May 28th till June 1st in Bilbao, organized by koblakari people. It would be from monday till friday from 17.00 till 21.00.For more info www.koblakari.com, or send me a PM. Still 3 places left for what I know, costs 100 Euros and the acomodation can be arranged at KUKUTZA, the squad this society has. I´ll be there!!



The Leon Convention was nice, lovely people and some amazing tricks with balls, clubs,.. but still missed the poi people!! Where are you lads!! It wasn´t many staff, double staff players neither, and contact,..!!



We need more international people coming over and openning our horizons!!



Limits to contest: I´m sure some people will love to have you over there,..



And for Drew; they loved the multiball book!! They were so excited to see that was already finish,..thankx!



keep spinning ( and come to do it in sunny Spain!!)

Hey jossy!!

Go to kariokas.tk, and have a look on their map, I´m sure they´ve got some info.

Limits to Contest;
no, no nos conocemos; pero estuve en Tailandia con Drew y me hablo de ti. Aunque la verdad, me encantaria,..

About Ronan,..he is the one that push me to get the info, and the one that put the maps,..so I didn´t think it was fair to delete the effort he did,..mostly cos I didn´t even knew how to update and he is the one that gave me the info again!,..So thankx!
