Fire Twirling

I figure that I can use this blog to record things that happen before I go to Mexico as well so... here is something for the record.

On Wednesday night I had a 'surprise' going away party. We all went out and had dinner at the new 'Woodfire Pizza and Modern Mexican' (which, according to Ely, is nothing like actual Mexican food) restaurant and then went fire twirling. All my friends have been fire twirling for yonks so they're all fantastic, but that night was my first go at lighting them on fire. Considering that I haven't used poi in about 6 months and that I only know two tricks I think I did rather well. I have some photos too... (You can see more by visiting my flickr account)




So there... that was my first twirling experience. How absolutely exciting. We are doing another burn tonight and I will give it another go, although my sunburn could prove to be problematic. Anyway... We'll see how it all goes.
