Profiles in Poi: Alien Jon
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 12. 2019
- Jon Everett (or as most of us know him: Alien Jon) first inspired me to become a tech poi spinner way back in 2008 as an up and coming poi newbie. His approach to spinning was highly structured and bridged a critical gap for me in terms of not just engagement but also in pointing me toward poi mathematics and so much more!
I was lucky enough to get to sit down with Jon at Quasar Festival near Dallas, Texas early in the fall to discuss where he first encountered the Flow Arts, how his career grew, and how he spun off the many things he learned into a thriving business selling Fiberflies Pixel Whips.

Finally, this interview went for nearly 2 solid hours. To learn more about Jon's time in LA with Flow Temple as well as the many trials and tribulations of starting his Fiberflies business, check out the full uncut version of this interview on my Patreon at / drexfactorpoi

I really enjoyed this. I love to watch Jon spin. His style is so beautiful. It was nice to get to know him a little more as an artist. Thankyou😊
Super stoked for this one
Met Jon at LIB. he's as genuine and talented as you get.
Fun Fact: When I gave Jon the Name "Alien Jon," it was because of his dancing, intially.
This is so inspiring! What I would give to run my own flow arts business... you guys are freaking awesome!!

Very cool. I’m one of Jon’s friends from Maine. Looking good old man.
I can’t believe you made this whole thing work for you. Well done!
Wow, what a story Alien John has to tell.
You are one of the spinners that inspired my style of poi and a hero of mine at some point I would love to spin with you
