.:*MoonFest*:. Autumn 2005

ok that is it!!! i am going to come up next moonfest. i know the last one was only last sunday and i was up at burleigh. im really getting sick of that place and if it wasnt the only place i can see my girlfriend once a week i wouldnt go. its getting really bad, gang bashings, total amateurs throwing staffs into the crowd.

soz i had to get my anger out about that place. ok. so when is the next moonfest on because i am going to be there. i dont care if i have to take a day off school to do it. im moving next weekend to tugun or somewhere around there so if anyone is passing that area on the way up could u PM me as i would love to get up there to see it!!

love yall and i will see you next moonfest.

Jai

wow jai, you have started to see how bad the place is? Thats a shame that it seems to be getting even worse... I would take moonfest over burleigh ANYDAY.

just be careful at burleigh....

Jump on a train to come to moonfest.... the train goes right to shorncliffe and it is only two mins walk down the road from moon fest...

Fun nite nice to meet ben and lex . And get my cowboy gear on .

dang...leah if i'd known i would have picked you up!!! i went straight past the coast!! where on the coast are you??? *thinking ahead for next moonfest*

hehehe!! cowboy puk! did i send you photos yet? probably not...i'll be doing that now then shall i?

Yeah, nice one Puk!! I really enjoyed to fire whips!

The whole Moonfest was lovely. Thanks Elke

Eek, I'm sorry to hear about Burleigh. I was down at a fire dance competition there last year and the fire safety was just appalling and no one seemed to care. I thought it was just a one off bad night. And a super shame if there's drunks and other fools.

It's such a precious thing to be able to have an open event and feel safe. I guess it's partly vigilance and the caring presence of people who care about each other and the event.

And Jai, 'Yeah, yay' come on up! It's Tuesday 24th. Here's a link to the train timetable if you don't get a lift.

The station area looks very suburban streety.. just ask someone where the pub is, then go to the park at the end of that street. ) Or ask where the cafe is: it's right opposite the park. Cross the park heading towards the water and Moonfest is down on the beach... there's paths and steps down the hill.

See you there!

How huge was moonfest this month!! I've never seen so many people there. So many beautiful people of course *hugs to all*. And how blessed we were to have such a still night! I've never seen moonfest that still either - no fierce winds blowing the flames hither and thither. It made me more inspired to have a firey play than I have been at the last couple of moonfests. I was twirling IN the water though... hehe, getting watery and muddy... I love that balance of water and fire, mmmmmm

<== this is Karen in a Buzz Lightyear suit. It'll have to do till we do get her in one... and Kyle in a dress. (Ry: "are you buzz light year?" "I love your movie" GI JOOOOOOOOE!!!)

I loved getting all grubby doing the scorpion thing too, and chicken's bubbles floating over while we were carving out moons... so cute....

Bec hope you can make it to the next one! Of course we sensed your spirit floating and skipping down the hill though


and how amazing was the party afterwards... Ok I'm going to stop with all the rhetorics now. All I can say is, I can't wait till the next full moon in scorpio! That was some dynamic energy

**copying and pasting a reply I made to MoonPixie's post on the Moonfest site**

great rule on the Fire Breathing thing Elke... hats off to you

and please no drinkies guys, even if it is intended to be peaceful sipping.... Elke has the council and locals on good side with the alcohol-free-event agreement, and it's such a blessing that we get to embrace the space. It's great that it's grown in numbers so much but I think peeps forget to respect those little rules from time to time

you were at that comp Gabe? we came third in that competition!!
*grins*

Yeah I was just watching... then chatting in a stern maternal way to a 'troupe' of foolish girls who lit up a few metres of fire toys and then just dropped them on the grass within inches of people, while they pranced off with the next lot!!

And yes, re Fire Breathing: I asked/told one young lad to please refrain.. then Elke had to go tell another. Two in one night, and there was one tipsy chap the week before doing it... something we better all watch out/take responsiblility for.

Yay for Valura and Arsn coming thrird!!! you guys rock! Was a lovely little thing that the three world crue put on .:*

The last Burliegh Gathering I went to with you lovely ones, Valura, was really nice... :* I felt there was more scence of unity between drummers and twirlers and dancers... and generally a warmer friendly safer feel than I've expirience at previous ones... I thought it was getting better ....no?

But yeah Jai!!! Come to moonfest! everyone! Come to moonfest!!! it's so lovely meeting you all!!!

And yeah... No Fire Breathing at moonfest... came to this desission when i relised I cringed every time I saw someone doing it... dreading the day I'd have to ring the ambulance ....which would then in turn make all this lovely beautiful stuff we have going here with moonfest come to an end ... I hope that day never comes! Long live moonfest!!!

......So yeah... please help keep Moonfest a safe and happy all ages event...

I find most people usually respect the rules if you let them know about them in a friendly peaceful way.... .:*

Thanks for making that fine Pixie Rule
And yeah, I think it does go over a lot better when one is told in a fine Pixie way about the fine pixie rules.

I think it's a great rule to .

And again a huge bravo to Elke for carrying the energy of that event for so many years.... not surprising it is such a beautiful clean clear event with you at the heart of it, Elke

B * R * A V * O * O * O * O * O * O * O * O * O

awww shucks it's all the beautiful people that come along each month that make it so special It's a Festiv*al ~ All Festive!!!

Love you guys!!!

ps... gabe those angel claps are quite hipnotic .....

so the next moonfest is a tuesday isn't it??? hmm...

i'm trying to figure out which day to take off work...:D i could take the tuesday off & come down monday arvy & go to juggle jam as well as moonfest! or i could just take wednesday off & do the mad dash after work tuesday... yes, i think the tuesday option is better! as long as i can borrow someone's couch or floor to crash on??!?

yes, okay that's a plan! i'll do the mad dash to juggle jam after work on monday (maybe even start early so i can finish early! ), then crash on some lovely person's couch or floor , then to moonfest on tuesday, then drive to the coast & crash at the folks place, then get up early & back to work on wednesday!!!

Hey Gita, we got room here if you like... I usually go to Juggle Jam on Mondays.

ooh really gabe?! that would be soooooooo awesome!! thankyou!!! right...now to start working on the boss giving me a different day off!!
