Hello all, Im TJ. im pretty new to spinning have been spinning glow sticks for a few years but to no skill and mostly only a 2 beat weave
after a few festivals my interest for Poi sky rocketed but I never got my hands on any real poi, so never really tryed anything new. at a festival this year a fellow camper found a set of HoP fire poi at the last fest he was at. and I wanted them! by time the end of the weekend came, (any me playing with the Poi many times) he decided the best home for them would be with me. so he gave them to me. with that Iv found HoP and been learning everything I can and am loving it!

Welcome to the HoP. I hope you enjoy your stay. ^_^
Around October-ish, there is a small free object manipulation fest in Philly if you're interested, and I'm sure they have a good spinning culture there as well. ^_^

Welcome to HoP!
Avoid the squirrels, feel free to ask any questions you may have.
And everyone is small on TV, since the screens are not big enough to have life-size people. And zoom effects interfere and stuff.

Welcome to the forums TJ! If you ever wanna get together with a couple other new local spinners my Fiance and I go down to Philly on Monday nights to meet up with another spinner. I would like to see more of a local spinning community in the area than I have found so far so why not start one right? And i think the event Mesh is referring to is Philly Fest, although I am also having trouble locating any hard dates or locations for this. I think https://www.phillyjugglers.com/home
will have mention of it closer to October.

Philly Juggling Fest was just announced and will be the 1st and 2nd of October. Although it isn't on their page yet, it will most likely be at the Friend's Select School as it has been in previous years.
