Good Spinning / Bad times
Last weekend I went to a little festival by a lake in New York. It started out as a good time and i couldn't wait till night so i would be able to spin. After a while more and more questionable people arrived. It was obvious people were not coming to enjoy the music, meet people, and have a good time. The name of this festival was Gramma Joans Springfling but I think it should have been named "Let's go get way too fucked up in the woods". I'm far from being against people drinking and doin drugs or else i would be a hypocrite. But i am against people not doin this responsibly. Around 5 in the morning after the first night i was walking around and i notice a commotion and people are saying someone died. Sure enough somebody overdosed and the state police were on their way to investigate. This kinda killed the mood but once the police arrived they spotted another body floating in the lake. He was also another victim of overdose. Those two deaths were the third Ive seen in week and a half so it was kinda spooky. I guess three other people had to go to the hospital from an overdose and one girl ahd to be revived thier cause she almost died also. After all this the mood of the event was cold and people started gettin in fights the next day. All the happy people left and just people who wanted to get messed up stayed it really ruined the weekend. Even though all that happened some good came outta it though. I finally got to spin in front of a large audience which was really fun. I even met a couple other people and reffered them to this site. I also finally got my dreads put in and they are starting to come togther now which really makes me happy. I met some really cool people that i never would ahve met otherwise. One of the people i met was a proffessional body peircer so he peirced my tongue for free. The weekend wasn't a total loss alot of good came outta it but I just wish people would learn to limit themselves and not take their lives for granted It's such a terrible thing to waste.

I guess the past times my friends went they said it was a much better atmosphere. They were pretty bummed out when it turned out like that.

Wow that sounds fairly intense!
I have to admit that I always tend to get very spannered at outdoor events, but never to the point of danger. One of my mates did collapse at an event last year though, ended up in hospital :roll:
I've got my tongue pierced, it's very cool. And subtle as well... you can keep it hidden

I know Saucy I wish i could have wnet but Ive had stuff to do this weekend. I even made some new friends who don't spin but were willing to drive down just because they wanted to see more people spin fire and they liked the whole community idea. Well let me know when the next one is and I'll plan ahead more so i can go.

Definitely. In fact, I think there's a fire thing going in Vermont in a couple of weeks, I think the 18th? - Vermont isn't that far, right?
The next PDF is not until October, but there's a regional burn in NC at the end of July that I'm going to, as well.
happy spinning in the meanwhile.

Have been very very messy at times and had experiences of people collapsing in clubs at new year when I was right on the edge of doing likewise - fortunately i've now found poi and don't feel the need for such doses anymore - tho I'd like to say I only did them in a fun way for my enjoyment, it was just a very long night

Actually thats exactly how i feel if i get too messed up I can't spin so why would i get so messed up. It's just not worth it anymore. Theres much better things in life then gettin spun. Like spinning
p.s. Even though theres much better things in life to gettin spun its still fun to get spun every once and a while.

Wow! Havn't been here for a while but thats a bad story you got thre Rovo. I don't get people like that who just do drugs to "do them to excess". If you can't appreciate them you're never going to enjoy them fully!
Maybe the happy people left cuz there was nothing happy to stay for?
Your tongue sounds cool, my girl keeps trying to get me to get mine done but I'm a little sceptical. I have my lip and balls done but don't know if I could go through with the tongue
Peace and good will to ya
