OK, 1st spinning meet has taken place! Yay! Only problem? Only me and CmkB showed. Round of applause!

We had ourselves a damn good spin though. And Carla's found us an ACE location, it will be quality for making vids in. Can't see a problem with fire either... so, we need to set up the next one when we know a few more people are up for coming.

OK, we could have scheduled it for when the world cup final wasn't on..... but hey, how many spinners do YOU know that rave about football?? Haven't seen a footy thread on here yet.

So, bearing that in mind, when is everyone free for the next one? Bwahahaha!

1st official camden town (uk) meet 21st october! see the events bit

I totally forgot about Rise. Oops... Anyway, I'll be about this weekend if anyone's interested... (22nd/23rd).

Generally I can do Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but Saturday is the best day for me. Let me know! We'll see what happens.

That said, trying to organize HoPpers to do anything is like trying to herd cats...

It may stop, but it never ends.

Hell yeah, I'll come down. I don't think I'm busy this Saturday, although I'm still recovereing from Glade and the insane heat....

4.45 is cool.

Who else is in then? Go on, you know you want to.....

OK, fine - I'll be there at 4.45. Look for the tall bloke with short, greying hair and beard in a black leather waistcoat and hippie pants, carrying a black rucksack.

I'm expecting to meet up with a few other spinners this evening, I'll see if I can persuade any of them to come along

It may stop, but it never ends.

Groovy! Look for the short skinny dude with a goatee. I'll probably be wearing an Ozric Tentacles T-shirt of some kind....

It may stop, but it never ends.

Right, It's absolutely chucking it down here, and I've just remembered a bunch of mates are meeting up later, so I'm going to give this one a miss. Sorry peeps, until next time!



Yeah, I know, I'm lame.... for anyone that doesn't know the place, from Oddballs, cross the main street and take the street directly opposite Oddballs. Follow it down, and round to the right, and you should see a bridge with a small park underneath on the left side. Under the bridge is the place. Have fun!!

I have to say that I was just a teensy little bit miffed about being stood up



Never mind, I got over it, it didn't rain and the two of us managed to find a nice, friendly venue, with an enclosed garden space (and a bar) where we could have a little spin and shoot a couple of things for the record. There's a faint chance they may be amenable to future sessions (no fire, though) - I can ask if you like.



Just one suggestion for keeping it going (and I hope it does keep going): Have a set time each week when you declare the spin officially ON or OFF. This is what the organisers of the London street skates do, via their websites. They leave it until around three hours before a skate is due to start before making the call and even if it rains after that, somebody usually goes down to say "No Go" in person.



Best of luck with it. Hope I get to see .......... the spot........ someday

It may stop, but it never ends.

Apologies for the no-show Solar, I feel pretty bad...

Good idea about having an on-off time. It's still in the early stages so we don't really have anyone organising for definite, but that sounds like a really good plan.

Carla: Can't make it down tomorrow, have to give a music tech lecture. Next few weeks are fairly busy, but I'll post up when I'm free again.
