Ok, so I came to Clapham common on the 2nd of November, and I found you guys, but I felt too dumb to go up and introduce myself, so I went to the movies instead. Pathetic eh? Looked like everyone was having a good time tho! Any chance there's another gathering coming up??

HEm, I've done something like that. I couldn't see them very well, and no one was spinning anything, so I was rather unsure that it was them... So, I looked like I knew what I was doing, went to get a coffee, and came back, to them all spinning again. It turns out, they were doing fire safety or something of the like.
But... er, I needed coffee...?

doh!
you should have come during the summer, we had at least one person (usually alice) on "lynch people and invite/coerce/kidnap them over" duty at all times back then.
you wouldn't be the first person to do that at clapham, but seriously, only UCOF bites, and even if he did have rabbies (which hasn't been proven) there's a big hospital close by.

i can feel your pain chief. When i rocked up at Melb twirling for the first time the spinners were soooooooooooo good, and there was little old me. Everyone was saying come on light up light show us what u can do. Ans there is was hiding away in a corner trying to to be seen while being able to see all the awesome things that these scarey people could do
thanks to Flynt, i got over that pretty quick
cheers

Here here for Flynt!
Similar with me I found it MUCH easier turning up first time with a friend. Even if they don't twirl themselves, bring someone along with you.
The melbourne spinners are heaps good.. I could do nearly everything in the hop tutorials, but still felt like a total novice the first time. Just remember, even the best spinners were novices once upon a time - they know what it's like. I'm only just getting out of the novice class myself..
Don't be afraid!! Wednesday nights at Edinborough Gardens, Fitzroy! 8:30pm onwards. The first time I went, I was taught enough new tricks to keep me very occupied for weeks!! There's also the Sunday afternoon/night next to Luna Park

I do poi nearly every day. But it's not like I'm addicted or anything. I mean, sure, I am always conscious of exactly where my poi are at all times, but I'm not obsessed. um.. Anyone have the number for Poi-ers Anon?

Well if some guy grabs you and tells you he's Flynt... be afraid, very afraid. Flynt's a shiela.

I am actually female, yep, all 100% of me. Including my ovaries.
Was that a bit much? probably...
but, yes, It does make a big difference to have someone greet you when you get to spinning, I know this, because I am a total wuss. And i'd hate to think of anyone being as scared as me, So I try to make a fool out of myself and make them realise that they cant possibly be as silly as me, so they'll fit right in
seems to work quite well....
