Fire Poi

so the order is in. i ordered the fire poi on oct. 3rd from Home of Poi. in new zealand. and its expected to be here by oct. 18th! im so super excited. my land lord has been helping out a lot with lots of  different advice for me.about 2 weeks ago he brought up a 20 min. gig to me to see if i was interested.of coarse i was. but after about 4 or 5 days i realized i didnt have poi down enough for my satisfactoy. i feel like i if im trying to impress people with only 2 weeks of actual fire practice i feel like im going to get burned. i know what happens when i get music i like on at the same time a camera is on me. i screw up big time. but if i knew i was going to get them right now as i was posting this. i would hve prob. said yes.!!! but my land lord, boris, came by yesterday and gave me a little pep talk. so as soon as i can im going to get down to jo ann fabrics and pick out some fabric for my costume. then im going to practice with them all the time. and get a routine down. i think over a 5 week period of stretching and a routine practice i will be in good enough condition to put on a show that i can be proud of.
