Nothing hugely interesting I'm afraid. I'm a computing systems network manager for a small jukebox manufacturing company.

I'd love to perform at some point in my spinning career too! I'm just trying to get together a local circus arts style group for just this reason (and it's even going quite well :D)!

I climb trees for a living. Though, unfortunately, I'm injured at the moment so effectively unemployed. Hard times, looking forward to being fit again, I bloody love my job ^_^

I'm a student, so the government gives me all my money, and I spend all my time spinning, haha. Haven't done any performances myself, haven't even done my first burn yet (friday!), but am really looking forward to the day.

i am currently a plasterer. it pays well, its just not a very solid job. i also perform in a covers band, which earns me enough to indulge in whatever i want.

umm no performances as of yet.. but hopefully some coming up soon.

i would love to join a group of performers, just to get some experience.


:-)

I am a stay at home mom of three boys, so I am a chef, a maid, a teacher, a hugger and a lover :)

I also dabble here and there, I sell Legal Services and help people with their wills and identity theft.

I perform fire hoop and regular hooping. I make and sell hoops, I teach lessons. I do a lot more in the summer time, since no one really performs in the winter time here in the Midwest US

I just got into Poi, as soon as I feel I am good enough to perform I will, so I will stick to the park in front of the kids and other moms who think my VERY simple tricks are incredible.

I'm a manager at a pizza joint. It's money, the job is easy and the boss is really cool. Not extremely useful in making spinning contacts.

I also, on occasion, go to places around town, toss down my hat and spin. Usually make enough money to get some munchies or something but nothing spectacular lol.
