          So it looks like we are a go. We have both a non-raining and raining spot with cover to meet at and I'm really excited by how many people have responded. Please remember to bring all equiptment you think you will need for yourself in an easy to carry bag, a flash light, good shoes, a blanket, CD's if you want, a sense of adventure, and anything else you think will make your experience fun. PLEASE NOTE: if you plan of drinking excessively don't plan on spinning.

            Word. I am located in Bensalem which sounds like it would be pretty close to this jam. With any luck, I'll show up next Thursday (not this one, I'm in California). Send me some infoz plz!

              Cool. We have been talking about moving it after this week for just a week just so the place doesn't get too blown up and regular. We have a few other equally amazing spots near Linden Ave which is right at the edge of the Northeast and Bensalem. We currently meet off of Knights Rd. PM me for more specifics.

                    Tonight we're getting together at the same spot we've been using in bensalem. I'm worried that the space is too small for an open invitation. The area we have been using is only large enough for one person to spin fire....I don't think this is a good spot for a spin jam because even when no one is lit up, there is only room for 2 people to spin and 3 would be a VERY tight squeeze. Plus considering that we usually have a bonfire going, I'm really concerned with people spinning and moving around. Someone could end up getting bumped into the fire. To be honest, I really only feel comfortable with one person spinning at a time, whether they're lit up or not. it's just because the space is so small.

                    I'm all about an open invitation, but I think we need to find a larger space first. What we've primarily been using this spot for is to have a few friends hanging around a bonfire while one person performs at a time. It really just isn't possible to have spin jam there.

                    I'm not saying I want to turn anyone down who wants to come tonight because I don't want to be rude and exclude anyone, but it's going to be hard to accomodate alot of people and regardless of how many people come, we're not going to be able to have a spin jam there because this space simply can't accomodate one. I'm also worried about having alot of people back there drawing attention to us.

                    The night it was supposed to be raining really hard, you said you found a place with cover and privacy...could we possibly relocate there next week, and extend an open invitation? There's also somewhere else we can use...Philadelphia fire arts holds spin jams regularly at clark park (43rd and baltimore ave.) with no hassle. Conclave also uses the space for rehearsals. I've spun fire out there a few times and no one has bothered me. It's a bit of a hike, but if what we're putting together is a spin jam with an open invitation, I think clark park would be the batter bet. We could even do daytime spin jams at playwicki park, core creek, pennypack, tyler, etc.

                    Any ideas?

                      I found that covered spot in Pennypack Park. My feeling is as follows. As long as everyone realizes that only one person can spin at a time we're cool. Are we moving to the farm tonight like you said in your PM? Let me know I have newbs coming with and i need to get directions from you.
