Over the weekend I made a trip up to Pittsburgh to listen to Mr. Jennings spin some sick dubstep and while there I got to catch up with a few of my very favorite fire spinners. Here's Conway busting out some gorgeous tech poi in the backyard at the after party.

An impromptu fire jam at Hookah Dome a few hours after the temple burn brought out some of the best and the brightest on the playa. Here are Jordan from the Vulcan Crew, Bliss, and Prisna spinning some fire right before I left the jam. It does get a bit blurry near the end, I'm afraid. Enjoy!

I've been lucky enough that the past couple weeks I've gotten to catch up with some of my favorite east coast poi spinners and gotten to shoot a little bit of video of some of the cool tricks they've been working on. Here's the first of two videos: Baz Simon doing some plane-bending tech at our friend Aaron's (Fractal) wedding.
