Hey boys are girls! When did my little tribe grow up so big and strong? Role call time, we need pictures! Feel free to add anything you want as long as it is camp appropriate and includes something on fire.

Welcome welcome!

Anyone want to share some stories? Where are people located? Social capital is the basis of this present society, so network away and find friends to jam with located near you.

As for me, anyone around Cleveland or St. Louis?

    St. Louie, here. We've met a couple times at the City Museum, I think. Put up a CM pic last week, as a matter of fact, though it's a year old, and nothing spectacular. That, and something from a fun little gig at Flo Valley. Oh yeah, but none of them is me. I have a few more, including a couple of myself, on my profile.

    As for roll call: I'm Peter, and I'm a fire addict. I've been in recovery for...wait, no I haven't.

    hey y'all-
    i just had my first instruction in poi this sunday in golden gate park from glittergirl, who rocks. with all the patterns, planes and sides to decipher, it's more complicated than i realized. i've been spinning poi like i'm jumping rope, but that's not gonna cut it.

    time to play.

    Space Kitty Anne here, in Vancouver Canada :)

    Spin a little fire staff - love it and want to learn fans next, I think... never enough time to practice! (must rearrange priorities!!)

    There's a group here that meets on Sunday nights, went once and will definitely be heading over there again soon! There's an awesome spinner named Dax who I think organizes it :) He's gooooooood!

    Interested in poi, think they look soooo koooool but am a bit scared - the fire gets so much closer to the body than in staff spinning!

    I also build glo-staffs (look so cool & they're party-friendly) ... anytime I've taken one to a party, everyone wants to play with it!.... no pics yet, will work on that!

    Peace & light...

      That's funny. My son recently picked up a tiki torch [sans fluid and flame], wrapped on some glow sticks and started spinning it. Looks like he's a natural with the staff...*grins*

      WOw this post goes back a long time ago...I hope people will still check for it! Right now my passion is the hoop (fire), but I'm in the process of learning poi and staff. I live in Jacksonville, Fl.....lameass city, I've never heard of or met anyone else near or around me that spins....and believe me I've been looking! However in the fall I will be relocating to Asheville, NC. I know there's some peeps up there thankfully! Drop me a line if you're near either place or know of any events near here....

      Hey I missed out, this is an old post. From Lincoln, NE and have never met another Nebraska besides myself and the people I spin with who spin poi. (Not up to fire just yet, one day...) I knew there was a pretty active community in Missouri, that's freaking awesome! Woo Hoo!
