And coleman, you are wrong. If you were a tree, with no visual or olfactory senses I do not believe you would find meg's armroll "awesome".





trees are people now?!

We had a tree named Orville in high school. He was nice. He would have definitely not been awed or amazed by any armroll even if it was Meg that did it.

Besides, he who had not yet learned to capitalize should not throw stones.

And as Molly will surely tell you, I don't speak English, I speak American. So run along and tax something.

And I like Megs new hairstyle but every time I've complimented her she turns against me so I'm better off teasing.

tongue

And Hi TomConBella.

Oh wait... that's one of my other personalities that does the name thingies... you guys haven't met him.

I wish musicality amazed the audience more. I think it's grossly under utilized. I mean, what's the point of geeky timing if you're not linking it to geeky music signatures. Somebody bust a video in 7/8ths time to like Pink Floyd's "Money".

That would be awesome to me and amaze me at the same time.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Other songs with interesting time signatures:

Solsbury Hill: Peter Gabriel (7/4)
Soundgarden: Outshined (7/4) [Don't do that one, it's too easy to cheat it as 8/4]
Take 5: A Jazz Standard (You've heard it) [5/4]

And spinning big during the loud part and small during the quiet parts does not mean you're on the beat. On the beat would be awesome. And amazing. To me. Only.

Again, I haven't seen much actual beat choreography in poi.

Musicality and dancyness, maybe. But not much on or near the beat.

Yes, let's go.

I've seen shireen (of pele's element) performance at a juggling convention and it rocked all over the shop. It was in time to the beat and had gorgeous gotan project tango music. And it was bang on beat. It struck me full in the face...

I think maybe also ros and laura's routine is very very syncro but I can't remember if it's on beat...
