Northern VA Object Manipulators!  Here's your chance to make it closer and easier to connect with your fellow hoopers, jugglers and all kinds of spinners!  Bring your toys, share, learn, teach and have some fun! We're meeting on Mondays at George Mason University in Fairfax, but if you want to suggest other meetups at different places, feel free! If you're not into the meetup.com thing, we have posted directions and information at: http://hyperbolaonline.com/instruction/fairfax-va-meetup/

We've had a couple meetups on here for object manipulation, but they've rarely met. I'm going to use this group to post spin jams that get posted to DC Fireflies among others. Hopefully this group will help those folks looking to learn to spin and give all of us a chance to get together and trade tricks and techniques more often. If you'd like to pick up poi or just meet some other spinners, give us a whirl. I should be posting both spin jams and fire jams on here.
