Thanks for the warm welcome guys!!! I was at Mooloolaba on Saturday too, I was the one who didn't really know what she was doing!! Everyone else there looked so good! I definately need more practice!! I have heard about moonfest, I can't wait to go but I think I will have to wait for it to be on a weekend

You would have seen me at my worst then, i'd had umm... 2 to many drinks before trying that. Doesn't help with the co-ordination. :admires giant wooden aeroplane: Its about time trees were good for something, instead of just standing their like jerks!!!

life is like a roadtrip.... The idea is not to arrive at your destination in a pristine showroom model, but rather to slide in sideways in a battered jalopy hanging out the window screaming "wow what a ride..."

Hehe
Well thanks, flattery is always welcome.
i really should try and put more effort into it and learn a few more tricks and stuff. It really was just a wasted senior schooling that provided me with the juggling skills and haven't really kept them up to any great standard.
Oh and
to what Hob said. :admires giant wooden aeroplane: Its about time trees were good for something, instead of just standing their like jerks!!!

So will youand Gita be coming back to Mooloolaba again?
Yeah we are both Sunshine Coasters originally. I moved away at the start of the year. But i'm sure we'll be up there again soon. You'll have to get the tips from Gita because i'm a complete novice when it comes to fire things. I've only just picked up a practice staff in the last couple of weeks in my spare time. But i'm sure gita could help.

So how is the practicing going, are you picking things up ok. Have you checked out the lessons on here to help you out!!! They are pretty good.
What are you practicing poi or staff?

Well the practice is going ok... a little slow this week because of the rain though. I have poi and a staff. I've practiced a little more with the staff lately than the poi because the string on the poi broke and i don't want to break it any further. I've joined a couple of moves together with the staff (still VERY basic) and I'm gonna try it lit up on the weekend, Hopefully that will go ok!!! 2,303 posts

Thats good. Have to say your gamer then i am with lighting up. I'm a little scared that i'm going to burn more then the wick just at the moment.
Pretty happy with my skin still being part of my body. But i am getting more confident and hopefully wont take me too much longer.

Well my twirling went really well! I still have all my hair and skin in tact! I'm sure I still look like a total beginner but I'm HEAPS better (....or maybe just more confident..) than I was a couple of weeks ago!! I can't wait till this weekend to get some more inspiration!! 2,303 posts

Congrats!!!!
No burnage or loss of hair, thats a pretty fair effort. Well it looks like Gita will be up there for fire and fun, not quite sure if i'll make it yet. I probably will!!! Cant let her go without me! Have all the fun while i'm at home.
