Alien Jon Spinning in Airport

[up4Balangan]

Are you gonna have poi workshop 2011 as well? I live in Bali. ^^

[KraftyUk]

is it just me but anyone in the airport who see's this sort of thing in the uk would stop turn or watch, i'd be very impressed lol

[2low2rl]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD DONE THIS IN THE AIRPORT. LOL AND WHY CANT YOU COME TO THE STATES?

[Mrspinnnnn]

wish i lived close enough to go to a workshop!

[TeamNewExperience]

One question: why cant nick come to the us?

[s1ack3rr2]

hes great. too bad the people in the airport not observing have no clue what they're missing :P

[NikiiNint3nd00]

He shoulda put his hat on the ground, prolly would of made a few bucks :3

[tracerammo]

""Cause it would be so cool if everybody could do it..." LOL! Hell yeah it would! :)

[funguywoo]

you cant go to the states.... because?

[iamtheage]

hummmm And where in the states might Allen be found?

[forrestp14]

why cant you come to the states?

[djcunno]

theres definitly a time and place for poi... that was amazing though ;)

[AlienJon]

Poi and contact ball in the airport lands you major corporate gigs. =P

[Kaegri]

Is that the cradle from 0:36?

He is really good, I like his combinations

[AlienJon]

Bali ha been an amazing experience! Nick and I are now planning a team Playpoi tour of the UK, July 15th-26th!!

[AlienJon]

1st day of Bali Poi retreat!! This is going to be great!!

[phoenixgirlAdelle]

i am SO excited he will be in reno in 2 weeks! (and we are hosting him, so I will pick his brain!!! and probably melt my own!!)

[karchangel00]

Montezuma Costarica.... Gotta love alienJohn for wearing that shirt ! <3

Too bad workshops were so expensive (even for me, living here in CR)  ...Hopefully i can attend another retreat :D

[uzumakimama]

hes right alien jon's workshops are awsome!! Thanks for coming to Seattle!!

[palidances]

Hooray for collaboration (and funny faces)!

[AlienJon]

I specialize in both >_^

[depressedtoad]

awesome video but whats the song

[nemelle]

OMG!!! Our lovely CostaRican airport!!! I enjoyed a lot the workshop btw Nick!!! Hope u come back soon! =P

[MrCantus]

*giggles* all the civilians round abouts resolutely ignoring him... I don't know why I'm always surprised when they do that... Strange creatures they are ;o)

[Onenumbertwo]

Strange indeed! Of course, I'd be right there trying to do some of his tricks! hehe He looks AWESOME!!! I wish I could do all those things! Great job, Jon!

Joy

[apoafanzero]

that is so sick

[janusburns]

One of the few people I have met that wear the same grin I do when I spin. Amazing as always...really looking forward to playing with you at the end of April Jon.

[jitpunkia]

should do a workshop in mammoth mountain

[sissycheese]

Nick, Why can't you come to the States?

[PraseSrece]

I hope so, thank you ;)

[elditto420]

alien you're so awesome!!! lovely spinning!!

[harmonizedmotion]

you are beautiful jon

[carlaghness]

come do a workshop in ireland pleeease

[DGenthe]

always wonderful hanging with jon for those of you who havent. Loved the workshops at spherecamp as usual. And really look forward to learning some more from you in the future.

[Zyliah]

Beautiful isolated stalls. See you at Fire Drums!

[krishoee]

Good job Jon. Definitely my favorite poi artist.

[titray]

erm, ok i now feel like a complet amateur, lol.

when will you be doing any workshops in the south of England???

[daydreamyjuggler]

you can come to CANADA mr. mr. john will be here, where are you :P

[AlienJon]

Woohoo! are you coming out to the workshops on the 17th - 19th in Victoria BC?

[daydreamyjuggler]

yup! That's the plan :D

[AlienJon]

Can you do me a huuuuge favor and help spread the word locally about my Victoria workshops, for a final promotional push?! Preregistration is still lower than I'd like. Let's make it an awesome event!!!

[daydreamyjuggler]

shoot. Never saw the pre-reg thing. I am definitely telling my juggling club for you, but if it requires me to pay over the internet then I can't register.

[AlienJon]

Thanks so much for getting the word out to juggling club.

Direct your friends to the poi pixie website, and click workshops. You will see my workshop and below it a paypal button to pre reg with a deposit. since you are helping promote, I'll make sure you have a spot, even if you can't do paypal, but please tell everyone about pre reg to lock in their spot!

[katieoros]

Kudos to airport security not having a fit over someone flailing about ^_^ Really amazing considering how they usually are! Fantastic skills, Jon! Very entertaining tricks thrown in there. I hope to learn them myself ^_^ Peace <3

[PraseSrece]

omg am I ever gonna spin like he does :(

:)

[Baker1203]

yes just practice

[AlienJon]

Well hopefully you will spin like you do! We all have the potential to embody our own style of spinning, which is a projection of our inner self.

With practice and plenty of creative play, your style will flow like mine or Nick's.

[pepedlux]

He really is quite frankly ridiculous. Total sweetheart and a great teacher on top of everything. If you can, study under him, he's amazing.

[diarkon]

i expected orbital after double poi cathwrap(:D) still you have wonderfull flow :)

[InspyredFyre]

OHHH!!! How we wish he was coming to California!!! Why oh why does he have to be going STATES away???!!!! We are just going to have to figure out a way for you guys to come to us, in 2010!!! My brain is already percolating..... Wonderful play too!!!!

[AlienJon]

Glitter Girl and I were trying to set up Alien Workshops in mid May in the Bay area, but it just didn't pan out. I'll be at Fire Drums! It is looking very likely that I do workshops in King's Beach CA on the North Shore of Tahoe, then LA before I go to Bali.

Come to Bali for the May 24th retreat!! Instant time of your life!

[justmajors]

Hey AlienJon, can you send me more info on the May24 retreat?

[AlienJon]

Sure, I'll pm you.

[Baker1203]

do you guys ever come to utah i know nick can't come untill the next april fools day lol but you and glitter ?????

[AlienJon]

Glitter Girl runs her own school, Temple of Poi. She may very well do workshops in Utah.

I haven't been to Utah yet (through it yes). I'm starting to look book up until I leave for Bali. If you could make it to Lake Tahoe, It looks like I'll have a workshop there, right on the beautiful beach!

[Baker1203]

god i wish i could when is it i might be able to

[AlienJon]

ok, guys this is tentative until I can confirm with the promoter in King's Beach, but probably close to the 10th of May. If people who want to come could pm me with contact info, then we can move these conversations to email, which makes organizing the event wayyyyyy easier! Or you could find my page on the playpoi website and contact me through that!

[kundalinidancer8]

When is your workshop in Lake Tahoe?

[VegaEtereo]

Nice =D

[kadenthespinner]

must meet alien jon...must meet alien jon...must meet alien jon.....

[p3hndrx]

cool!

[jojojohnpau]

man, He's good lol, I like his fun layed back style.

Just out of curiosity, when you say you can't come to the states, do you mean just now, or at all?

[meenik]

I had some immigration trouble a few years back, and I was banned for 5 years. It expires next year though, so I can come for summer 2010. I'm Canadian and I was teaching workshops without a work-visa...

[BobTheElder]

americans don't know what they're missing out on :P

re video.... is it not weird that barely anyone seems to be watching? if i were sat waiting for a plane I'd be well happy to have an awesome poi spinner to amuse me.. shoulda thought you'd have had the whole lounge as your audience :/

[jojojohnpau]

that's a shame, I just started spinning and was really hoping you'd be in the states at some point, As I don't think I'll be leaving the country anytime soon unfortunately. See you in 2010 then =P

[funguywoo]

@meenik NICK! PLEAASSEE Answer me this: what kind of poi is he using? its BEAUTIFUL! if it's home made, will you please tell me how to make some? i would love you FOREVER. please!!! i really really would love that poi. pleeeasse answer this :D

[shmoofoobean44]

i'm about to take my first big plane...or 2.. thursday and i was really excited to use my poi in canada. I wish you could come to the states...esp NC... :) although i'd travel a long way if you came anywhere nearby. :D i wondered how the airport would react, but i'm too afraid I'd get into trouble.

i'll definately look up Jon! he's great too.

[Codfert970]

Alien John is awesome! I would like to visit his workshop this summer.

[meenik]

D'oh! Second! Second! Drat. You'd think I could be first when I upload the video myself...

Yay, come to the May Retreat in Bali!!!!

[SamMalcolmFireDancer]

that was sweet. how did he get away with it though? i was spinning in the las vegas airport a couple months ago and they confiscated my socks cause they can be "weapons" i guess.

[NathanielEverist]

Whoo yeah! Alien Jon, you're so damn cool. The boss says I can have the time off for the Bali Retreatin may, now I've just got to get the money and I'll hopefully be seeing you awesome people there. I'm very very excited! Oh yeah, and just because I never have... "first"
