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...
