Hey Global,If you were spinning at Ultra then I'm sure we met, I was wearing a white visor and I have blonde spiked hair, perhaps if you have a description of who you are we could talk about some of the great times we had.PLURDOC------------------Let us Light up the Night

Cheers guys, I really enjoyed the weekend.I always come back fromgroup meets really inspired by all the different styles. Felt really smug watching some glo videos on my train journey home.Jo you snake meister, i'm in Brighouse on Sat- Sun. I wanna work on some staff stuff if you got time, plus it's my Bro's birthday so we are getting the fire out anyhoo. Hey PK, mucho hospitality, even crunchy nut cornflakes ! Expect a phone call. Oh yeah, really really really sorry about the lightbulb(s), cough, erm...Hope your fingers are holding up Mr Kato, I would love to get some footage of your poi some time.Thanks to everyone else that showed me moves and let me abuse their toys and parrafin - I'm there for the next one and I should have some juggling clubs for those that can.Cracking juggling Dave, almost made me wanna learn, almost. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.Liam Tempest

I was spinning for ages pk. Usually looking thoroughly bored by the whole thing. Not actually bored. Just hadn't slept after Zogg and had been teaching staff all morning too. So my brain was numb.I taught Liam (spiral) some staff moves and got him thoroughly hooked. Tried to teach the ex some moves but she was having none of it.Did you see her spinning BTW? She has got f*cking amazing with a staff in such a short time.Tempest, yeah I got the drink (and a big bag of v. potent home grown for free) off of her. She's not really a fan though. We just both got dumped at the same time and did a bit og mutual sulking together.....

Meh

Posted: 30th Mar 2002
Oh and Pk you were kinda mesmerised by them chicks so it's understandable you didn't notice me. You did help me light on e of stafs at one point. but nay mind....

Meh

Posted: 30th Mar 2002
yeah i saw ya spin a lil.. missed it on the cam though.. mesmerised!! nderstatment hahayeah the Ex was pretty good man.. nice teaching therelooked like you and kato had a long night at zogg.Hey is that chick coming to the april one? the one that needed a date for the meet?should be another good one!fingers crossedin a bitPKhttps://uk.geocities.com/poi_in_the_park_sheffield

Posted: 31st Mar 2002
I'm not sure if the girl I mentioned is coming or not. She emailed me out of the blue to ask about PIP. I answered the question and haven't heard from her since. I dont hear from her for ages at a time anyhoo so i'm not panicking.I will, hopefully though, be bringing another young lady though. I asked her last night if she would like to come and she answered in the affirmative So fingers crossed...[This message has been edited by Cantus (edited 31 March 2002).]

I had a very long night last friday. I went to Zogg. Then an after party at the Rom. Then PIP. Then Probe. Then a private party at the Arches (where I got threatened by some ill mannered gimp, but Uncle Darren sorted it out for me ). Then i had to get home, which took me 5 hours.All in all i was awake for 47hrs straight (virtually drug free - 1 pill and a dab of speed on friday. After that it was alcohol and grim determination).

Hi sorry I'm late. It was great to get together with you guys for a spin (even though I didn't do much spinning as too busy being sociable). Cantus I really enjoyed watching you spin with the red and green staffs. looks kind of cool the two colours together. Tempest, loved your new toys. Kato cheers for my new poi got em home and killed my lighbulb with them!

The only bad thing about the meet was that some folks needed a little advice on their fire safety. ALWAYS remember to spin or shake off all excess parafin before you light up. Especially when there is a big crowd, as there was at PIP, accidents happen very easily in these situations.

On arrival back to Nottinham I crashed my car and wrote it off. Luckily all were fine. Will hopefully see you all again in april.

Are we nearly there yet?

Posted: 5th Apr 2002
Me was just sittin, thinkin about how pretty 2day is, and i had a bit of an idea. Seeing as the weather's nice and the days are getting a bit longer it'd b nice to spend some afternoons 'making poi, in the park'. If every1 just brought down sum stuff to make poi with and there was a bit of music and blankets to sit on (you always need blankets to sit on when spending an afternoon in the park)then it could be really nice. Let me know what you think, i'm not all that great at organising so if ne1 else wanted to take over at this point. Please do!

So can we get a lafge fire circle going before everyone splits up?
See you all soon.

Posted: 15th Apr 2002
Yes I knew it is Marlboro, pk. He's the only Lancastrian I know. Comes from St Annes. Gave me a t-shirt once....

Which Arches people? You mean Chief, Whippet, Ryan etc? You're better off asking Pete or Orange if they can get in touch with them.

I'm trying to think who else was there.

Hello!

Just in case you haven't noticed, we are arranging a PiP in Clapham Common, London for Saturday, 18th May.

So...if someone hasn't already, I would like to invite all the PiP Sheffield people along. It should be great fun.

Also, if you have any suggestions, or helpful tips on how to run one of these things...please let us know!

Thank you...and hope to see you all there...
