You already know your shows rock, Taya.
Oh, people are impressed by fire everywhere MiG, and good shows of any kind likewise.
Get your name put about, perhaps get some friends or other knowables to start you off if they've somewhere you can perform at, and be nice to your hosts always.Isn't always a strange word...Look at how the letters go after one and other, and what they are...

FRD- i can be pretty slow at times and if someone spells something wrong i get VERY confused!!
(but I'm good at spelling the hard words-i was the walking, talking, all singing, all dancing dictionary in school -
"Tam, how do you spell blah-blah?"
"errrr.... B...L....A...H....DASH(draws a hyphen in mid-air)....B...L...A...H..."
"Tam, how you you spell really? is it r...e...l....y...?"
*you gotta be
kidding me!* "ummm no, it's r....e...a........" you get the picture!)

So last night was weird...
The first place we were going to be spinning at was a small stage after a few guys and some gitrls drumming and dancing (They were awesome!). The guy who had hooked us up with the gig and my stepdad left me and my brother (the photographer) to watch the show, while they left to search for parrafin (no one has it here).
The show was awesome, but towards the end of the performance, the police arrived. Faster than you could say "Holy sh!t" a fight broke out back stage right next to me and Hugo (my brother). All we could do was watch, whilst being told "This is Morocco" The police arrested the guy who threw the first punch, (methinks he was a drug dealer) and got rid of the crowd. So, no performance there then.
So, my dad and the guy arrived back, and I explained what happened, so we move on to the next place, a really nice bar/club/resturant full to the brim with tourists; unfortunatley, it was very windy, so no burnoffs
No pay, but we got free beers
And they tasted good, cos I hadnt had one in aaaaaaaaages Im busy tonight, but i have been asked back to the stage and the club tommorow and for the rest of my time here... Sahweet

Yes there are pictures of my stepdad, and a video of me staffing. Now i just need someone to host them for me. *looks hopeful*
I actually tried to burnoff in the wind (very *very* foolish). There was a very small flare, but most of the fuel ended up in my eye. This put me off loads, and so I didnt do much... very little conact ( a neckroll and a half steve) and no throws, so very boring.
Oh well, lesson learnt.

Heh
So last night was weird.... my brother's probably writing this on another post, but I dont care (
)So I was spinning on the terrace of the apartment we were staying at as a thank you performance to the guys there cos they were lovely.
Our performance was in clear view of Club Taros (the place i did my last gig) and some lovely french girlies saw us spinning and rushed through the town to find us
So we did another gig, and everything went fine.
Then I Fecked up..... really really bad.
It was horrible, I didnt even know it was happening
The staff just shot off my wrist and rolled off the edge of the roof, directly *towards* some of the spectators;
Fortunatley, it was a close miss, and no one was hurt, but man, was I scared.
Im not spinning on a roof in a crowded place *ever* again
Oh, and I put my foot through the roof, but shhhhhhhhhh no one can know

Its in march!
Besides, paying myself seems a little... pointless to be honest.
I could however pay myself in beers. mmm... thats not a bad idea actually...
