Well folks... we have a special treat for you all!!

Chris Bailey is coming to our home town, in Virginia Beach, Va. He will be doing a workshop here for all who are interested. Prices and other details are still being worked out! We will try to make it reasonable for everyone.(hopefully between $15 and $20 a person) The workshop is being held on March 15th 2008.... We have a HUGE space for this event. It will be held in a cheerleading gym..... tons of rooms... high ceilings... multiple floors. We will have a blast I'm sure. We are inviting everyone who is interested... bring your friends... It will most likely be an intermediate to advanced level workshop... although I'm sure all levels are welcome. If you have any questions please email me at my yahoo acount. Britainy_MDibbs@yahoo.com. Otherwise feel free to call me at (757)377-3008. I am more than happy to answer your questions. More to come about prices etc. We are super excited about this... Chris is such an awesome person... not to mention talented. This is something you Don't want to miss..... CLEAR YOU SCHEDULES!!!! Tell EVERYONE!


PEACE AND FIRE!!!

Britainy.


Seriously, you all should come to this. $15 or $20 is cheap as hell for a workshop and VA Beach is not far away at all. We'll probably have a little hangout and spin jam later on, as well. Chris's workshop last January completely changed the way I look at poi. Quite possibly the single most influential set of ideas and inspiration for my spinning. If you haven't gotten the pleasure to take one of his classes, you should definitely do it while he's in the area. Albany is a little too far away...

Poi classes and PEX Spin Jam on Saturday, Jan. 26th.

I'm sure you all know, but there's another kickass spin jam at the PEX warehouse on Saturday, Jan. 26th. So I thought I'd come bring some workshop action. I'm going to teach an intermediate poi class and an advanced poi class. It's going to be $15 for one or $25 for both. Here's what I'm planning on teaching:


Intermediate:
Crossers (in all shapes and sizes)
Isolations
Hyperloops/Airwraps
Basic Tosses
Stalls
Flowers/Patterns



Advanced:
Hybrids
Hybrid Patterns/Polyrythms
Antibrid/Head orbit patterns
More tosses
1.5s
A bit of contact poi (wibbles, propellers, and such)


This is really just a vague outline. I'm open to teaching whatever I know, so please tell me what interests you. I also plan to teach all of these with the idea of performance in mind. I don't want just to teach technical moves, but I also want to help you find your own style with them.

The intermediate workshop will start at 6 pm, and the advanced one will start at 7:30. Also, it's really really helpful to have counterweighted poi for tosses and contact moves. If you wanna shoot me a message to sign up in advance, that would be dope. If not, i'll see you there! Let me know if you've got any questions. Much thanks, and I look forward to gettin down with PEX!

Party Liberation Podcast! (aka, funky beats for you)

I am pleased to announce the arrival of the Party Liberation Podcast. It's the official podcast of the Party Liberation Front deejays. The opening episode happens to be the first mix of mine that I've ever posted on the internet. We should have new additions in the next month or so from Dylan Mott and the badass tagteam duo known as Dangerous Beatdown (they're not actually violent, I swear). Much thanks, hope you enjoy!

We need help for Timeless!

So if you haven't noticed, we're having a sweet warehouse party on Saturday the 28th. However, things need to be done and acquired. Tim and Danny and I can't do everything, so we're calling out for help. This Saturday and Sunday are both gonna be work party days. So bring booze, caffeine, or whatever makes you pumped to move shit and decorate. We'll probably start around noon or so both days. There's A LOT of shit to be moved around. Luckily, Carter and I have met and planned out where these things are going to go.

If I can get 10 or so bodies to work on stuff that would be awesome. It would also save me and Tim from staying up all night drinking PBR and Red Bull and moving broken restaurant gear (already done that enough...). So we need people to move small stuff, big stuff, and to work on decorations and such. If you have a vehicle with a trailer hitch, that would rock. So gimme a message or a call and help make this party be the best Richmond has ever seen. Obviously, you'll get in free if you come help out.

List of stuff we need:

Matresses and pillows
Clocks
Extension cords and power strips
Light fixtures

So gimme a ring yo! Thanks...
