bu spin jam!

dancingwolfgrrl and i went to last night's spin jam for about an hour, in what apparently is now its usual location-- a big gymnasium, much roomier and less densely-packed with peril than the tiny room it was in when moominmolly and i went over bu's spring break. sadly, dancingwolfgrrl had just come from a pilates class, which left her arms a bit overworked already for serious poi stuff.

serrin and m00n were there! the former doing bendy partner acro and the latter photographing it, in what seems to be their usual dynamic. :)

the larger venue allowed for some much more space-eating toys-- i saw a unicycle and a couple of people with 6' bullwhips, and of course the partner acro. there was also a juggler! i realized as i was walking over with my clubs to pass with him that he was barely holding a 3-club pattern together and would probably doomed for passing and it would just make him feel bad, but i'd already caught his eye and... and as it turned out the first try was not so great but he improved with really surprising speed. so we passed for a while and i got in my fix. :)

other toys i saw: poi, meteor, staff, double staff, rope dart, fans, fire sword, hoops, contact ball, beanbags (toss juggled). note to self: next time, bring more toys. also, wear clothing i can be upside-down in. also, don't wear long underwear (very warm in the gym!)
