Since I finally found out what the name was for what you guys do; I've been wanting to start it for about a year. I thought it looked really graceful and calm, and now I know it's also a workout! I called them kites because of the comets. ^^ I just made myself a pair of poi and started practicing, and I got the weave down in a moment of supreme happiness. Just wanted to share, since you guys all seem cool about it. I'll be looking for poi buddies since none of my friends are interested. Happy poiing!-Tsumi

hehe no doubt getting the weave for the first time is reallly satisfying...i think the weave should be considered some sort of initiation in the world of Poi
- what do you think? 
happy swinging,Simos

Welcome to the wonderful world of poi.I agree totally about the weave being the initiation move to poi-ing. It was the first move I ever learned and I havn't looked back since. I'm sure you'll find, as I have, that poi people are the friendliest bunch of people you ever have the good fortune to meet. One Love Thistlefirepixie. :-)
