Hi all,

I'm new here. In high school and early college I spun flag and rifle with marching band, winter guard , and drum corps, so poi came a little naturally to me. I saw my first fire poi performance at Pennsic last year, started spinning (not fire) a little over half a year ago, and got my first fire set from my fiance for my birthday last week. SOOO fun!

Besides poi my other main hobbies are SCA (www.sca.org) and middle eastern dance. Not many other fire performers in the Dayton area (I've met one). I go to Wright State University (History major) and work as a nanny.

Thats me in a nutshell. (I just had a flashback to Austin Powers..."How did I get in this nutshell?" hehehe)

Hello & welcome, Sayyida! I'm another Ohioan, from Cincinnati. How goes it in your part of the state?

well i cant be sure that you wont become invisible to yourself then sayyida and i acnt be held liable for any insanity induced by the goggles or the fact that they may explode with the amount of insanity on here - in fact its probably easier and safer to close your eyes to avoid the madness

Wait, does that mean peeps wearing those goggles cant see me> confused

The existance of flamethrowers says that someone, somewhere, at sometime said "I need to set that thing on fire, but it's too far away."

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Hey kids,
I am from Ohio too.
Sayyida and Trillian - I have alot of family in the Dayton and middletown area.
I live in Antwerp, which is in the northwestern part of OH. I am about 2 hours from Dayton, but if I am in the area anytime soon, I will let you know and maybe we can get together and spin.
Let me know.
peace

Alas, I am in the middle of the state, in Akron. I'm not a scadian yet, but once I'm done with school, I should be free enough to actually get involved in our local group. I was actually born right next to pennsic, in Butler. I used to work at the wal-mart there during the summers, when I'd go visit my mom. They always complained about having to stock up massive amounts of bottled water for "those rennaisance people who beat each other up with swords and then have orgies afterwards." I actually have a couple friends back there that are into SCA, who've invited me on a few occasions to attend at least part of pennsic. I may try to drop in for a few days this year.

I also got to go to Ohio renfest this year, for the first time. I gotta say your faire is much better than our Great Lakes Medeival Faire up here. Last year was the first year I'd been to either one in quite a while, so was glad to blow a huge amount of cash to buy some more garb... I still need to get those pics up on my website

What exactly do I have to light on fire to get you to notice me?

Hi all! I was born and bred in Berea (Cleveland area), was in various Columbus suburbs for years, and now reside in Sylvania (Toledo area). I have always loved watching poi at festivals and SCAdian events, so I finally decided to learn more about them.
