Oooh, pretty-swirly-burny-things!

On a more cheerful note, check out this outrageously cool fire poi picture that I found from a link ali_anarres posted in someone else's journal.

Update: Oh. My. God.
(apparently metal cages stuffed with wire wool and ignited make interesting fire poi... good lord)

btw this is a common mistake from non-jugglers when they see clubs yes she is club swinging in all the pictures i looked at. i got called a juggler the other day when i was swinging in the park, i just giggled to myself. i suppose if people have never heard of it they just assume it's juggling when they see clubs but i can see a very obvious and big difference between the 2. the offer is still there to teach you some day.

i can see a very obvious and big difference between the 2

Two obvious differences spring to mind:
1. jugglers generally have three clubs, club swingers generally have two...
2. jugglers are continually throwing their clubs in the air, whereas club swingers don't ever (?) let go of them...

Still, it took me a few looks at those pictures to figure out if they were just odd camera angles and the third one was in the air above her head or something  :)

considering she never had her hands off the clubs in the pics and in the motion picture she happened to be doing a pattern i know i knew straight away. of course i never let go of my clubs!!! tee hee. well i don't anymore. for some reason there are still silly people in the world who can't notice the difference between the 2. lol. if you know of a free weekend sometime in the future let me know and maybe we can meet up. i know it a bad time atm tho.
*hugs*

Would be good to meet up again at some point, yeah. Certainly doesn't look like I'll be driving/riding to visit anyone for a while though, the way life is going!  :-\

well if you've seen my lj (doubt it) you'll see i'm looking to take my driving test then i'll be able to visit people more. if not i could always come up on the train in the summer when weather is good to play with clubs. or we could meet in london next time you are there. i need to make a trip to cyberdog by june anyway. i hope things get better for you soon hun. lots and lots of hugs.

Just added you to my friends list today actually - we seem to be chatting enough in comments that I needed to keep track of you properly  ;)

Cyberdog++  :)

oh ok thank you. yes i have to get cyberdog baby clothes for my niece/nephew that is due in june! and i'll probably end up getting myself something while there. it also round the corner from oddballs who made my clubs so i can get additions for the ones i've got.

Oddballs++ too - that's where I got my light-up juggling balls, and my poi.

there used to be one in oxford but then the guy closed down and moved to the camden shop. he made my clubs for me before he left as they need to be slighty different to juggling clubs. i also got my glowing diablo from there.
