Poi

Just got back from Roxas Boulevard and my first stint as an apprentice
arsonist. My sister Kathy did her first public
performance of poi with her new Wolf’s Revenge fire poi set. Wonderful
stuff, although the cable wrapped around her skin at one point,
causing a small first-degree burn.

I’ve more or less figured out the weave pattern, although I still lose
it every so often. I’ll borrow Kathy’s practice poi. Don’t think I’ll
be lighting up any time soon. It’s surprisingly fun, though…
