100 days...

to each man, the creator gives 100 perfect days....

100 days till the burn and I'm fully back up and running. Now I just need a car. :P

there are two bright sides to this latest ordeal. 1) I'm now back on the "same day delivery" list with my primary supplier. Apparently by moiving, I was dropped off that list. 2) I have entirely new lines from this computer to my DSL provider wihich should mean blazingly high speeds.

But now, I have 26 orders on the board, and I need to get kicking.

Incommunicado

Okay, so, Singularity went well, but my life since then has been rough. My car died before I got on the Highway. I've incurred a large number of bills involving the return to LA and will soon have repair issues to deal with.

But more than that, I got home to discover that my DSL was down, and it may continue to be a problem until this weekend. So, no internet, and because my phone is DSL based, no calls, no finances, no nothing. Because I couln't get online until today, my cell phone ran out of minutes, too.

In short, I'm hosed for a while. If you call, I probably won't have the resources to call back until after Memorial day. I'm trying to get business running, but I don't know when I'll have my ducks in a row again.

I'll post another blog when I'm back up and running.

Check you Grips day!

Okay, this wednesday is check your grips day. I found out that most people have wednesday spin jams, so we'll announce this one early.

For poi spinners, remember, leather grips can break without previous notice. If your leather grips have been "broken in" for quite a while, might be the time to replace them or at least give 'em some love. Kevlar and nylon grip users might want to go over their rigs and make sure they don't have any streaching or frayed bits.

But this day isn't just for poi spinners.... staff, sword, torch and flogger people all have some kind of grip area. Use this day to make sure they're in good condition, or re-wrap with tape, or whatever.

This is also a good day to finally sew your fire fingers into those gloves you bought (haven't bought yet? Try golf gloves...). If you've got something like fans ore palm torches that pinch, bind, or are loose, this is the day to grab some string and tape to get them fixed.

C'mon folks, Singularity this weekend, the SF fire arts expo next weekend, and let's face it, pretty much everywhere on the nothern hemisphere, the flowers are blooming. Let's make sure they don't meet a runaway wick...
