Winter 2005

Fuzzy Wuzzy Moon Festies!*:.

It’s that time again! Get out your warmest winter woollies, special magic blankies, fluffy leg warmers, ear muffs, stripy long johns, beanies, scarves and gloves! It’s time for the Warm Fuzzy Winter Moonfests!*:.

Wednesday 22nd June (full moon in Capricorn) ~ day after Winter Solstice

Thursday 21st July (full moon in Aquarius)

Saturday 20th August (full moon in Pisces)

So the Moonfest this Wednesday is the day after Winter Solstice!*:. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year (and longest night!*:.) this means the sunset will be a lot earlier, so come down early in the afternoon for SUNfest to catch a little of that yummy winter sun before it sets in the west and we welcome the moon rising in the east*:.

Bring all your toys…for, jamming, juggling, fire twirling (don’t forget your safety gear and fuel) and play!*:. Rug up in your warmest winter woollies, bring a blankie to sit on and perhaps a thermos of your favourite hot beverage*:.

If anyone has a brazier they’d like to bring down, that’d be great! As we can’t have open fires in the park… The braziers with fire coals are fine. Please remember to dispose of any leftover coals responsibly.

Recently I have made an unspoken rule official: NO Fire Breathing AT MOONFEST. Keeping moonfest safe and happy for all.

Please remember that MoonFest is a drug and alcohol free gathering. Take your rubbish with you when you leave. Take responsibility of yourself, your children and have a safe, relaxed happy, warm fuzzy night!*:.

Catch .:*Over the Moon*:. Performing at these Events coming up: or check out our new websight www.overthemoonentertainment.com.au

*:. Burleigh Solstice Festival Saturday 18th June 5-9pm. Connor St, Burleigh. (markets, bands, performances & all sorts of other festival fun!)

*:. The Medieval Fayre at the Abbey 2nd 3rd July (watch out for the walking trees and the Phoenix Fire Tribe show!)

*:.The Nambour Garden Expo is on from 1st ~3rd July (butterflies and tall fairies flitter flutter about the garden, don’t ya know?)

*:.Mountains to Mangroves Sunday 10th July. Chermside (all the way from the Abbey to Chermside… it’s those walking trees again!)

*:.The Einbunpin Festival 31st July Einbunpin Lagoon Sandgate

*:.Dreamscape Festival Sat 24th September. An awesome festy all the way up in Cairns. (Fluffy Monsters to Dream Weavers… and maybe a bit of fire too )

Well that should keep us all buzzingly busy and warm fuzzy over the winter! Hopefully I’ll see all you lovely ones along the trail someplace*:.

Loads of love and warm fuzzy huggles*:.

Love Elke .:*moonpixie*:.

hmm...lucky you said the hot drinks thing...i have an awesome flask around here somewhere!!

I am of the opinion moonfests don't happen often enough. You have a wonderful night, then have to sit patiently til the moon takes it's own sweet time to come back.
*mumble*

That having been said, I'm really looking forward to this one- can you tell?

Elke, lovely moonletter!

Thanks Miss Moon!
Looking forwards to feeling warm this winter...
This Wed is a bit shite for me as I'll have to wrap things up @ Visible Ink before I can come, but hope to still get to cyall a bit later on.

Ry,
I agree in totality. Maybe we can work somthing out though? might involve giant magnets and more full moons...

And big and support for no Fire Breathing!!

Ooh is it that time again!



Goodie, cos I've gotten really lazy and not spun for weeks.. 'cept a bit at Woodford on the weekend... not being able to come down to the Piazza lately has got me right out of synch....

I have a couple of braziers that I can bring on Wednesday and some of those charcoal logette thingies. ( that's going to be fun up and down the hill!) Are we allowed to burn wood in them? I have a bit for kindling but not enough for all night....

Also I will bring some fireytoy fuel along to sell @ cost price, as I did last time. My d60 is all gone now but I have KsolT ... it's $3 litre (yep, a bit more exy than d60...)

As for more full moons.. hmm maybe I could arrange something with my deck umbrella and a spotlight.... declare my backyard a permanent full moon...

Braziers would be wonderful Gabe. You're the best

I hope to be up to firedancing.... might not.... Still sickly - a cold/throaty/chesty thing. I was getting better, and then...

My beautiful black cat Arian was killed on Thursday. She was my companion in so many ways and one of my best friends of five and a half years...

I loved that creature so much What else can I say? I feel like she's still hanging around, and want to send her on her way but it's hard...

So it will be a strange full moon for me

I'm so sorry to hear that jen

and I hope you're feeling better real soon!

Nice idea for a mock up moon gabe!

funny I feel like the moon comes round really quick! hehehe ...I think anymore often and it wouldn't be so special! *:.

but yeah more twirly firey party goodness is always great! Everyone to Gabes house! wooot!

yay! day after tomorrow!! i have had a shite week at work (yes, already!) & i can't wait to run away & play with fire!! it better not be raining!! hopefully i'll get all this junk sorted at work so i can have thursday off...then i won't have such a huge drive!!!

yay moonfest!!

YES enough rain thanks Hughey

It dosen't rain at moonfest!

There is a magic force feild bubble over moonfest protecting it from rain don't cha know?

don't forget to rug up in all your winter woolies and warm fuzzies!

yes i believe it is true about the magic force field bubble over moonfest!! i remember one moonfest it was pouring rain the whole way from this side of gympie & i was saying the whole time "it's not gonna rain at moonfest!" and it didn't!! woot!

but that reminds me i have to go get my flask & then remember to fill it at work...with the dodgy urn...hmm... i'll figure it out!!!

moonfest TOMORROW!! woohoo!! still not sure if i have thursday off, but some coworkers have told me i should call in sick. but everyone knows my plans. but i need the day off. and i've missed three rdo's (we call them flex days) in a row! the last flex was LAST MOONFEST!!

ahem! YAY moonfest is tomorrow!!!

*does a silly lil excitabubble dance*

It'll be a BEAUTIFUL night, no worries.


And I am definitely bringing a brazier and enough wood to start it up... anyone can bring a pack of those bbq trickiebrickies?

And I will be bringing enough KsolT to refuel containers too ( it costs a bit more than the d60 I had last time... $3 litre....)
See you there!!!!!!!

I dont believe that we will be coming cause Arsn is working graveyard and I am a bit TOO preggers now. So we may not be coming for a few months until we settle into this parenthood thingo cause we only have three weeks until bub is here.

We will miss you guys.

thought I was going to have to gobble up my words about that rainproof bubble when I woke up this morning to gloomy clowds... but horay! the clowds have cleared and the sun is shining!!!!

Anyone fancy a little sun play this arvo? ... I think I'll head down pretty soon actually the ocean and sky are SO blue at the moment! it's so lush! ... and if yesterday's sunset is anything to go by I'm sure todays will be gorgeous too...

It's dolphin season in the bay aswell! infact june moonfest last year, dolphins visit us *at* moonfest!!! so who knows we might get lucky and spot a dolphin or two...?

Kwisty and Troy, we will miss your gorgeous spirits at the next few moonfest ...wishing you all the best bringing the little one into the world and I can't wait 'till he, and his beautiful perrents are partying on with the rest of us, under the full moon!*:.

Gabe, I'm bringing a brazier down too (we will be cosy warm hmmmmm ) and a bag of those BBQ fuel heat bead thingies which will probablly do for both of our braziers....? (maybe with the help of a few twigs around the place )

YAY!! only half an hour! ooh LESS than half an hour to go!! then i can race down to my car & drive to moonfest!!! woot! *does a silly dance*

*pout* no chickens!? ohhhh... we know you'll be there in spirit!!!

mmm...braziers...the warm thing is warm!

Chickens, you missed a beautiful beautiful beautiful one! Was tad nippy, but the braziers solved that And it was (again) a wonderful night! *stands by with a cardboard sign saying Mr or/and Miss Bub- very much like airport picker you uppers*

btw, Pixies, I can't say enough how much I appreciate what you lovelies have done with everything! Worst thing about moonfest though, is the moment it's over, you're at the point you have the longest wait til the next one

ps. good on you elke telling off that firebreather- seeing how windy it was, I was pretty surprised he even went for it!

way to go pixie!!! I know how you hate having to do that...

I have already seen the piccys in Rys gallery (take a bow mr Ry again a fantastic effort) and WE MISSED SO MUCH FUN!!

oh well Im sure we will come back as soon as possible!

I missed you guys god Im a sook

Yep I agree with you Ry on the big congrats for Moon pixie!

reckon the braziers are going to be well in order for the next few Moonfests too.. how cold is it getting!!!! Actually I'm feeling somewhat skicke today, headachey and sorethroaty and all (if I had been half sensible I probably wouldn't have gone last night but !PAH! it was great.
I always have such lovely memories from Moonfest... such as....

*Camera fairies!! * goes to look up piccies* Go Ry Go Gita!!
*And great work on the dropbearhugs Puk!!
*And big yums to the drummers last night.. NOmore than drummers... musicians..... that dude with the three huge dun dun bass drums. and the trumpets!!! Groovlicious!
*And I Reckon we've got the Fire Breathing response squad going pretty well. One guy (and his mate) Kyle and I went to talk to came over to me like three times during the rest of the night apologising and we all ended up good buddies!

See you at Northey St guys...

Btw, gita's got the best shots of this moonfest I reckon!
