Understanding and appreciating siteswap makes you a geeky numbers juggler, not being able to do seven balls. Siteswap is pretty simple to learn but it takes a certain sort of person to want to learn how to analyse juggling mathematicaly.
Not all of us have the time and patience to learn seven balls, but we can still be geeky numbers jugglers, just like you can be a spinner without being able to do the most advanced moves
Sorry Lemonkey- You're in denial but it's alright. We're there for you if you want to come out as a juggler

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

There are diffrent types of juggler though, you see it at any big convention-
the geeky "numbers" jugglers who all do maths/physics and stand for hours on end in the hall trying to get that elusive 97531 in geeky T-shirts.
the French Artiste type, often in white and fond of contact juggling and diabolo
And the dreadlocked hippy spinners getting mashed outside in the sun.
These stereotypes are obviously not universal- and not meant to offend anyone but I think contain a grain of truth.

Hence spinning meets=everybody's very chatty, juggling meets=people only chatty when not juggling
I reckon (feel free to correct me on this)

The major difference is the difference in focus, I think. When you're trying to learn something new/get something perfect with juggling, you have to watch the balls going in the air: that's your point of reference.
While your learning something new with spinning, where you hit yourself when it messes up, and your shadow/reflection are your main points of reference. When your trying to get something perfect/fluid you just have to sit there and practise, but you don't have to pay so much attention, so you get to chat to people while you're doing it.
Just my experiences in local meets tends to be that practising jugglers aren't very chatty, while practising spinners are. You don't have to be a great spinner to close your eyes while spinning, but you have to be a pretty solid juggler to close your eyes while juggling.
Hence spinning meets=everybody's very chatty, juggling meets=people only chatty when not juggling

I have to be honest and say I would be just as happy with no fire show.
A good routine has no need for fire and I am there to see the performance not the prop. I am of the same opinion with the majority of glow routines, people seem to do the same tricks but because it is dark you can't see what they are doing.
I'm quite happy to see acts trying something different but the prop should not get in the way of the performance.
Seeing someone do backcrosses with fire is dull because you can't tell what they are doing. There may be pretty trails of light to follow but I still find it deeply uninspiring.
Maybe this is because I have only seen fire acts that you would consider to be mediocre or maybe I am just far to cynical.
I aslo disagree with them for environmental reasons. I would hate to think how much paraffin was used during EJC for all the fire play, fire breathing and fire show.
I know a lot of the people who seem to be the most interested in fire are the people that think of themselves as hippies and want to save the planet and then they waste all those resources.

From what I understand of the fire performance scene, it's very different from the indoor performance scene, and many of the high quality acts (High
quality in the sense that they're not hiding behind the prop, or even behind the technique, but have the stage presence and theatrical side of it sorted as well) tend to be focused on the "30 minute self contained show" style of performance.
Indoor performing jugglers tend towards the "6
minute variety piece" - (I'm sure there are exceptions on both sides)
