    I've often found that consuming a box of wine before spinning is amazingly effective in guaranteeing various new scars and blisters throughout my forearms and shoulders. Also, the cool thing about boxed wine is that it comes in the nice burnable cardboard box.

      but the burnable cardboard box seems suspiciously safer than a breakable into shards glass bottle.

          Suffocation and Immolation.

          once drained of its nectar, the box and plastic baggie within get opened and are placed over the head. At which point, the cardboard box is set ablaze--often with white gas as an accelerant. the heat from the burning cardboard should theoretically cause the plastic nectar bag to shrink wrap the wearer's head, restricting breathing and perpetuating orgasm.

    I was drunk and forgot to spin out first, then immediately whacked my bare back with my poi, setting my back on fire. It took a few seconds for me to figure out why my back felt like I had a sunburn. No real damage done, highly recommended for anyone on this tribe!

    Drunken Master Spinning would be a great show....and it would be wonderful to do with all the "spinnier than thou" artists all around....

    I encourage it.

    Cause it is also fun being someone watching a drunken master spin. The danger and suspense is significantly increased.

    It is no longer a question of if they will set something on fire, but when. Then comes the challenge of rescuing someone who is fully entangled in one flaming poi, but is still valiantly fending off all rescuers with the other wildly spinning one.

    Kind of a tragic comedy...

        We often have cheep wine night before we spin fire till dawn...
        It not considered an official drunkin poi nite until someone gets hurt.
        Usually me or Cowboy Justin.
        hehe.
        Once my girl friend clocked me in the head with a 12foot fire dart with one of Justin's monster wicks on the end... I still have the scar.
        What a great night!

                    Drunken Spinning is the one thing I don't do...anymore. Stoned, yes, mildly hallucinating, yes. I don't even spin when I'm too tired. I am not as brave as y'all. Can ya teach me how?

                      salt, if you weren't so chicken i will double dutch with you here, in town in the street. the gauntlet has been thrown down.

                      jess, there is no teaching, you must learn from experimentation, much more fun AND dangerous. so stay up for a few days, take a few swigs of whiskey (or adult beverage of your choice) and spin away. just make sure you do something that constitutes safety in there somewhere. i am sure that actual firespinners will fill you in there, as i am not one of those.

    I refuse to confirm or deny ANY allegations of this type of behavior from any of those
    that may allude to having seen this truly dangerous yet fun activity!

        when whacked in the side of the head with a juicy fiery jump rope, I don't care if your hair IS tied back, you're still going to lose a lot of it.

          It's cheaper than a haircut, and far more stylish, I actually think that this is how Robert Smith of The Cure styles his hair.

            Actually, if you're going to do any drunken fire spinning, PLEASE do it over at your own campsite under the awnings.

            We had a guy at Interfuse who WAS drunk, who WAS spinning staff on fire, and got underneath OUR pop-up. I politely escorted him to his own campsite. There, I didn't give a damn if he got under his own pop-up.

            Otherwise, he might have worn a large piece (log-sized) of firewood on the top of his head for a few seconds.

            Safety THIRD!!!!

              There was, from about 2am until 8am at Scorched Nuts, a very fine example of fire spinning under the influence going on. Morley and I warned, winced, waited and finally gave up. I did get to see Morley's authoritative side when one of said spinners (yes there were two) let go of his flaming poi which flew 20 feet and almost ignited Yawfren's purse.

              After warnings from several of the fire-tenders and other folx, they were left to their own devices a bit away from the rest of us. Happily, there were no major injuries, but I'm pretty sure there were lots of bruises and minor burns to be nursed when the majical potion wore off.

              As Morley and I said repeatedly that night "Safty Third!" It would seem the extra "e" in safety didn't make it into the shirts the safety workers wore duing the burn ceremony.

                I kept that one hydrated/fed later on and got a russian cigarette out of it (I think)... The other German Sex-o-domist may have been my safety around 7am... The one that lit his hat on fire a few hours before.

                I suffered much small damages from fire tending and regular 'ol hula hoops someone left in the barn... That's where my spectacular array of bruising came from btw.
