Moon Letter
Autumn 2005

Hey gorgeous moonfesties.:*

Wow, it’s Autumn again! That was quick! Time’s fun when you’re having flies!.:* hmmm I think I’ve been kissing too many frogs…. No frog princes as of yet though… Speaking of fairytale magic, this next Moon Fest, 26th March, is in Pixie theme, and most definitely calls for Fancy Dress … So pull out those pixie wings and dust of your wand… wear a tiara …or put bells on your boots! Elves, Goblins, Faeries, fire sprites....and frog princes also most welcome!!! Bring a pixie treasure to place around the fairy circle, bring instruments, and drums for a massive jam and dance under the full moon..:* Bring fire toys, fuel and safety equipment and fire dance on the beach or Glow gear and your dancing body for a frolic under the stars.:*

The Easter break is full of fun things to do on the bay side of Brisbane. The BlueWater Festival kicks off on Thursday night (24th March) with *Bayfire* starting from around dusk with the Lantern Parade, followed by the spectacular fire Show brought to you by :*Over the Moon*:. Featuring a beautiful Full Moon Goddess, Triple Goddess Moon Maidens, Moon Consorts, Dream Weavers, Stardust Sprites and so much more spark and magic.:* Live Music playing on the main stage throughout the night, as well as market stalls and kids carnival rides, topped off with fire works off the Jetty. All this in the beautiful setting of Shorncliffe’s foreshore, Moora Park, Brisbane’s north-side. Then on Friday 25th March, the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race starts from the Shorncliffe Pier… Featuring market stalls, carnival rides, .:*Over the Moon*:. Stilt Walkers and roving performers…and of corse lots and lots of boats…heh ….And then of corse it’s the Pixie Moonfest on Saturday 26th March… come on down a little earlier for a play and picnic in the park, bring your toys and instruments for a play, juggle, jam, sun dance…. And then welcome the moon as she rises over the ocean at dusk.:*

The Next few Dates for Autumn Moonfest are…

*:.Pixie Fancy Dress Fest Sat, 26th March… (mentioned above, first paragraph)

*:.Masquerade Moonfest, Sun 24th April… The Full Moon will be eclipsing from 7:30pm ‘till 8:20pm EST …My Moon Diary tells me we should be able to see this from New Zealand, and the East Coast of Australia. As the moon eclipses, wearing a mask of shadow, I feel it would be quite appropriate for us to wear masks as well, so this Moon Fest will be Masquerade… So if you don’t already have a fancy mask to wear, grab a paper plate, cut some eye holes, glue a bit of macaroni, feathers and glitter on and walla! I want to see *everyone* wearing masks!.:* YAY

*:.Sagittarian MoonFest Tuesday 24th May… Peter Pan playful energy… Lost boys and Tinkerbell… bring all your toys, fire gear, instruments, drums, dancing bodies, and free spirit.:*

Fairy Elf Goblin Fest, Sunday 1st May, Featuring LothLorian and Mr ToothFaery Marchello… *:….How Lush! I’m guessing it’ll be up Yandina kind of way… contact Jason for more info Ph: 5441 7031

Elke, I recall last moonfest you saying you had kinda missed doing the special themes for moonfest... I'm so glad to see the inspiration renewed and rising again They all sound wonderful, and I can't wait for each and every one (and we may get kyle into a dress yet

Keep creating... See you saturday for a play in the before moonfest. Hope to be able to catch your beautiful bayfire performance before Ember

Congratulations MoonPixie and thanks again for all the bootiful energy you put into making events happen and bringing people together!!!

Thanks guys

.... but you know I just got the ball rolling... it's totally the beautiful people that come along each month that make it so lush



yeah.... themes!!! I missed the themes! I love playing dress ups! (you couldn't tell from my occupation ) I can't wait for the masquerade moonfest!!! but YAY pixieness this Saturday!!!

a pixie theme eh?? i knew that...but now i really want to dress up...it sounds so fun! must think of something...

*starts looking up purty pixie pics for inspiration*

Thanks YAY to all those wonderful people who were at the Piazza tonight.
WOW how great is our local scene here!!! So much talent and so friendly and yummy and YAYFULL!!!!!!!!

definately have to agree with you gabe, a great night ! and so many smiley happy huggy people i came home with big smiles

see you on saturday!!! (i found me a lift up with a friend so im a happy april )

Nice one Phaerie

See all you other fine folk on Saturday!!!!!
Or Thursday.. yippee!!!

Our local scene is definitely all a-buzz Juggle Jam was all kinds of splendid as always.

Thanks beautiful Elke for just happening to have those mats in your mobile-play-mobile. Ask and ye shall receive indeed Hope you'll be there again next week? 'Twas lovely to see so many familiar faces.

Another word on those mats... I'm trying to get numbers at the moment... We thought we'd all buy a mat each - $35 each from Clark Rubber - link them up and hey presto, instant acro/contact space! It just means we have to pull together and make it happen

See you all next Monday (or at Bayfire.. or Moonfest.. or both). I'll be sure to bring The Hommous

Sureau, that's a great idea. I'll be in that.

I'm up for our Monday nights being fabulous! There's so many talented people around, and so many people wanting to play these days, great if it's made more easy for people to share...(Even if my own contact/acro skills are minus10!!! I like to watch!

There's a Clark Rubber shop just near me (Ennogera).So I'm happy to go out buy one prior to Sat nite... Then I can wander around Moora Park with a giant rubber jigsaw piece calling 'sureau sureau'. Getting surreal surreal!

YAY MOONFEST TOMORROW!!!

will I get to see the gita too?

Hi,
I just joined and I would really love to come to the moonfest tomorrow! Where do I go to get there? Shall I bring some dip?

Thanks!

YAYyyyyyy for pixiness tomorrow...

I was just thinking... maybe we should start a thread for Juggle Jam??? since there are so many of us from this forum that go now might be easier for travelers etc. to find in it's own thread too... rather than cuffuffled up in moonfestiness ...hehehe

Hey Moon Pixie,
Where is the moonfest? I'd really love to come!

Sylvie

Awesome! Cant wait!

See you there

ohh hey... sorry about not replying to you I sylvie....your post must have been hiding on some unrefreshed page in my computer... but I think Valura aswered most of your questions..... but yes dip is good.... hehehehe (I recently found a fetta and calamata olive dip! oh my goddess it is good!!! )

it's real close to shorncliffe train station (not quite 10 minute walk) northside of brizzy.... on the beach near the rock jetty for more dates and info and stuff go to http://groups.msn.com/moonfest

actually thinking of going down a bit early tomorrow for a play and picnic in the park... anyone free to join me???

hoping we will make it to the april one

Yay! That's great news!
See ya soon!

And yes Miss Moon, I agree with you about the separate Juggle Jam post. I'd been thinking along those lines myself..
As I will not doubt tell you, in an hour or so, under the Moon at Moora park...yay for Moonfest..
Just packing the bag !

all you crazy little hardcore moonfesters.. there's big scary thunder storms out there tonight!!!

I'm staying in cosy & dry with my puppy & my prince.. and I'll see you all next month (or at juggle jam no doubt!)

mmwah*

The clouds in the sky did attempt to look threatening, and the lightning was almost convincing, but it sure cleared up for a gorgeous evening!

Bit down now though. Have to wait a whole month for the next one!

Til then (and inbetween), love and hugs for all

there is a juggle jam thread that arsn started aggggeeeessss ago... Ill find it and bump it!~!

oh exellent chicken!!!

So good to see all your gorgeous smiling faces last night... even if the weather did start off a little scarey ....but it did fine up beautifully... the clouds and moon and stars looked stunning!!! And that massive star (which I was told was actually jupiter) so close to the bright bright full moon.... amazing!.:*

I'm about to post some piccies of you gorgeous ones and that lovely little massage train

Becca... I'd call you a piker if I didn't know you'd been working so hard all day stilting and staying up all night the night before edditting bayfire fottage for all the bayfireees.... you're such a sweety!!! I just watched my copy now and I cried!... so lovely! ....maybe a little extra sencitive from sleepiness, as I played at moonfest till 1 or 2am!!! I was only able to give Kyle other than the chickens a copy... maybe we will have to post the rest out to the others.... what a lovely little treasure package that would be!!! .:*

Yay!!! ben-ja-men! will be great to see you at a moonfest *:.... The April one is an eclipse too... and so as the moon wears a mask of shaddow we wear masks aswell! *Masquerade Moonfest* YAY

Anyone got any funky mask ideas???

Masquerade moonfest?? YAY!! Brilliant idea pixie!

*ponder*

I want Arsn to go as blinky bill.

yep...

he is yet to agree

Splendiciously beautiful moonfest last night... Thanks to all who brought their warmth Let's hear it for massage lines and cuddle-puddles

Photos, photos.... We needed someone there with a camera towards the end of the night when a guy walked over to Elke when she was doing fire-hula, and said "just letting you know, your bum's on fire".



See some of you creatures tomorrow at Juggle

My sister had fun playing truth or dare .

Blinky Bill!!! where are you going to find a blinky bill mask???

rainbow*shelly and I are thinking of doing something magickal in the circle for this one....

was thinking about masks and the eclipse... maybe making some kind of moon mask....

I'd like to collect treasures to place around the candle circle.... stones, wood, branches, and sand for Earth... feathers, smoke and scent from incence, smudges for Air.... Candels, embers from incence, smudge sticks, charcoal blocks for fire... shells and ocean treasures, bowls/challeces with Ocean salt water for Water.....Hibiscus, and other red/ burgundy/ scarlet flowers, gems, cloths and other treasures for the scorpo full moon

any other ideas lovely ones?

I was thinking of starting to set and adorn the circle at moonrise... around sunset...

then other magickal firey goodness leading up to the eclipse at 7:30pm

yes chicken you will get to see the gita!! oh wait...that's a bit late!!

twas a lovely lovely night!! especially the cuddle puddles & bum on fire comment & truth or dare (particularly the hokey pokey )! *teehee* twas especially (hmm...twas & especially twice already...interesting!!) nice to see so many wonderful peoples there!
