WE'RE SLACK DON'T BELEAVE ANY ON THIS THREAD (apart from maybe the most recent post)
If you want to meet up with any smelly hippy fire spinners in bristol post something to ask when and where people are meeting up. most people are quite nice and will happily help you or if thats not your thing ask me and i'll abuse you for no reason
p.s. Normally we meet up on sunday 2:30-5pm at the Student union, Queens Road, Clifton (But this only runs in term time)
Oh yeah b4 you ask no you don't need to be a student

absolutely nothing to do with hedgehogs!
I'm ok thanks for askin. Got to have operation tho- can't drive for couple of days. Methinks any poi activity will be put on hold for a little while.
Can't bath for a week- so I don't expect anyone will want to come near me anyway

Hey you bristolians
how's spinning in good ol' brisl ? Wish i could pop over for a juggle on sundays with you guys...
I'm still out here in Seattle .. have tons of work & little time to go and do circussy stuff but am trying to go at least one a forthnight or so.. there's a good group of people here. But otherwise i have little to tell, since i spend most of my time in the office. At least the people in the lab are friendly & social and generally a good laugh.
Also a distinct lack of psytrance out here i am in desperate need of a good bounce so will be heading for the first tribe of froggy night that comes along when i'm back ! 
Anyway, hope things are well - see you all in two months or so ..
Mike
P.S. Laura - have you seen "Good bye Lenin ?" - i saw it the other day - its the funniest german movie i've ever seen.

Hey you bristolians twats
how's spinning in that sh*t hole you call brisl ? glad I've got a good reason not to pop over for a juggle on sundays with you guys...
I'm still out here in Seattle .. have tons of work & little time to go and do circussy stuff but am trying to go at least one a forthnight or so.. there's a good group of people here, much nicer than you lot. But otherwise i have little to tell, since i spend most of my time in the office. At least the people in the lab are friendly & social and generally a good laugh.
Also a distinct lack of psytrance out here which is the only thing I miss
Anyway, hope you all die before i come back - If not I think i'll stay out here ..
Mike
P.S. Laura - you're the wrost one of them all, thought i'd seen the last of you when you went off to austria but no you had to come back and force me to move to seattle to get away from you
that not very nice

indeed, bit too much time on your hands though perhaps Tim??! 
hey Mike! nice to hear from you
spinning in Brizzle is generally cold, so we're pretty slack with the fire spinning now, but the sundayfun is still cool
Tim and I have been putting together some nice little routines for a fashion show (oh joy of joys, my favourite sort of performance!! ), Sy's been inspired on the juggling front - was passing with him t'other week!
And oli is still carrying on messing with our heads while simultanouesly seeming to turn himself inside-out with various inversions in his characteristic drunken master style
Oh and yes, I have seen Goodbye Lenin, thought it was very funny too (!!)

Oi Oi
if anyone's about this Saturday it's Buy Nothing Day, a international day of anti-consumption to mark the start of the festive season...
People and Planet are putting on a day of free fun in broadmead... face painting, hair braiding, street theatre, and other assorted antics. It'd be really good to have some other spinners come down.
It's on from midday til 5ish... and should be a fun (if somewhat cold) day out. And I'm likely to be filming stuff there...

technically yes you are supposed to be a student, or pay about 15 quid to become an associated member of the union
in practice we don't enforce that, so anyone is welcome to come along.
providing that is they give Tim a big hug.

Evening all, erm this is a bit of a weird one but i've decided to drop everything in the pursuit of the most amazing girl i have ever met and move back to Cornwall. And i've already done it. So here i am in Cornhole saying goodbye.
Thank you for all the inspiration and laughs you people have provided and it will not be long till i will need to go back up to Bristhole to visit for more gravity defying spinning action and weekend orientated fun.
Looking back on my spinny times in St Andrews park and such i realised that i was so lucky to float around on a sunday in the sunshine watching real talent and passion coming from such a vast selection of people and in so many forms.
To anyone who made me say wow at any point (and that was pretty much all of you) THANK YOU and please continue to do so for others and strive to be that little bit better. That's what make you guys special.
I'm sure i'll see you all soonish.
Peace, love and lollipops
