exposed in public. I'm serious. I can balance a glass of beer or spirits
up there for ages, while on the dance floor shaking it. I first learnt
about this in a messy Sydney pub, with nowhere to put my bag or drink
while I got my wallet out, I just popped my drink on my head and
promptly forgot about it.

Now that.. that is a frickin' cool trick!!
You would be worshipped here with that kind of skill..
I would attempt it, but the death penalty for spilling
alcohol makes it a little too risky. Although, the drunken
overlords might grant an exception if I manage
to ruin my best clothes and/or experience major blood
loss due to a glass mishap...

Hey hippy, I am thinking of wearing a helmet in my trapeze routine also.
I think it'd look cool... well, maybe not. I tore my feet to pieces at
the gig the other night, my friend's trapeze is much more painful than
the one I train on...

The helmet wont help your feet though.. well maybe it will,
it depends on which "helmet debate" thread you read. ;-)
You should get a helmet-cam setup and do your routine. I
reckon that would be cool.

(I didn't sleep well last night, does it show?)

Neither did I. 4hrs is better than nothing I guess. Buzzing
from track training and then got stuck into some of the
leftover lollies from Kona 24. Hey BikeSoiler, I didn't
finish all those fruitbars after all... I did 'need' a KS Snickers
and 750ml Ice Break to get me home without falling asleep
though ;-)

super sweet hippy
