New juggling / spinning workshop

[denny]

I popped into Oddballs in Camden on Tuesday afternoon and found out that the guy running the place has just started up a new space for jugglers/spinners to do their thing. Details are as follows:

Wednesday evenings, 19:30 - 21:30
Donation: £3 if you're employed, £2 if you're not
Venue: Maiden Lane Community Centre, St Pauls Crescent, NW1 9XZ. Apparently this is somewhere between Camden and Kings Cross.

There is room for staff/poi at present, although not loads of room, so if it gets popular fast then it might get crowded.

His goal is to get a regular reliable crowd of at least 30 people a week, then he's going to try to get a bigger better space. He mentioned the possibility of approaching the Electric Ballroom, which imho would ROCK as a spinning space. I'm going to try to get along to this one next week if possible - anyone else interested?

Yup. Count me in.

*is such a juggling groupie* Wish I had a more legitimate excuse to go, like, actually being a juggler rather than just sleeping with them all the time in an attempt to get their mutant powers.

Come along anyway - I'll be poi-ing so badly that anyone'd look like a seasoned pro beside me.

If you come, I'll let you borrow my hoop.

It's actually between Camden and where my old studio flat was vaguely..

Am definitely interested in both. Gosh, if only I were about to start working somewhere like Camden, that would be really convenient, wouldn't it?

Trust me, after my broken arm, and it's still lack-of-feeling-fixed, you really won't be the worst person there poi-ing!

Hello Mate,
Are you able to put forward a team of fire and glo poi at short notice For Nov 3rd. Might need 6 bods, bois and galz not fussed.
Would need all of you spinning fire at the same time, then onto glo, then onto fire again. music will be mainstream and dance ahead of fireworks display.
Don't need to be synchronised apart from all spinning the fire or glo at the same time.
Location Bedfordshire.
Future comms on this subject by e mail please.

Yes, I am interested, really interested, damn you.

I'm just going to have to try and top that by finding a group to poi with in central park in New York or something.

LOL <"j user="libellum"> , I was drinking coke when I read that. My employer will be sending you a bill for a new keyboard :)

Looks worth a shot.

Hah! Yeah, this didn't come at an ideal time for you, did it? :)

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Come! :)

And join us at the juggling evening too!! :)

Seriously, appreciative spectators are generally very welcome at these things :)

Isn't this one really close to the flat of brotherly love? Like, two minutes walk?

Yes.
If Benjy is as well, I can do a regular car-load ferrying down from the Den.

I've emailed you :)

I've been making noises about going to our uni's juggling group (not going to happen until I'm less knackered - I've barely been online!) and asked a couple of times if anyone could teach me hooping tricks... they were like, hooping? Do you mean rings? I can use four but don't know any tricks... and I was like, you can keep four hoops going but you don't call it a hoop? WEEEEEIIIRRRDDDD.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Guess they've got no hoopers then; shame. Still, means I have Tuesday evenings free. Maybe I'll go to the book club, or maybe I'll hide in the music block like I always do.
