Southern Lights 2007 15-17th june (New Forest Fire Gathering)

I am so burnt today. Not that I care, I had a really good time

Still going on about how much I loved Chimaera

Demi says thanks for the hugs and compliments.... although she hasn't forgiven Dave yet for the evil eyes comment (you were the only one she looked at like that Dave. I wonder why? )

I really enjoyed seeing everyone and watching everyone playing.

Thankyou F.L.A.M.E!!

I got badly burnt too, forgot to spray the rest of me later in the day, after I'd put suncream on my shoulders in the morning, oops.

just got back about 20 min ago (5am) after dropping sam and jo off and having a tea break at each.

much love to all, had a wonderful time, hope to get to know people I've just met better soon. People I've met before, always need more time with you

wicked weekend.

F.L.A.M.E. - you lot rock. full stop.
You must congratulate yourselves on a job, bloody well done...you went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good time...

stupid car for breaking down >.<

oh well, roll on play

dont worry dude - i heard it was shite anyway....... i mean - chimeara were there for a start

Absolutely Brilliant weekend. I'm shattered, and my voice is completely gone now...but I'm happy. Cant wait till next year

to all HOPpers who I met and re-met there. My tummy is still buzzing from all the excitement.

That rocked! Really wish i had put sun cream on my legs as well as my shoulders though, im really burnt and itchy now.

Well done to the Flame guys, its a lot of work putting on an event and everything seemed to go pretty smoothly so you must have all worked pretty hard.

We really enjoyed putting on our show and generally chilling throughout the festival. Cant wait for next years

AWWWWWWWWSOME!!!:D

Didn't want to come home But I do feel all warm and content now! A huge to all those special ppl I chatted to! You know who you are...
And thankyou for all your fluffy hugs...I've never been hugged so many times in one wknd, you're all amazingly gorgeous peeps!! And many of you will be getting pm's very shortly...


F.L.A.M.E Thankyou SOOOOOOOO much, that really has been the best wknd of my year so far!! Lee and Marie (as Marie would put it in her beautiful accent...) "I feckin love you" Hahahaha...
The only thing I'm gutted about is that I missed the naked spinning...TWICE!! Good job Jo filmed it...nice one Sandy!!


Is it next year yet?

I had an amazing time this weekend. It was a well needed break from normality.

I tried to take pictures of lots of differant things, but really seem to have only people from the tents around mine Apologies for that.
Theres a couple of good'uns in there, the rest are "oo something interesting, point and click!" crap ones.

i had a lovely weekend, it felt like a miracle to remember what happy was!!

thankyou so much FLAME for putting it on, for Fraser for the transport and the love, to all my very special friends for making me feel loved and, and to the weather for not being crap!!

All the shows were fantastic, i loved chimaera, loved Fiery Jack , loved the magic dude on sunday ( i forgot his name, he was brill), and I loved the fire jousting too!!

The bands were awesome, i would say 10/10 weekend except for one thing: the catering.
please next year can you provide something better than a chip van? veggie burger for breakfast is a bit yuck!

thanks again!! it's taking me ages to sort out my photos!! xx

magic man was samuel kasrani

Looks like I missed far too much nudity. Send pictures please.

I'm so jealous of you all :P Glad it was an awesome weekend!

Thank you F.L.A.M.E. That was a great weekend.

To all the people that helped out by setting up, being on the gate, toilet cleaning, etc, thank you for all the work you put in that allowed me to just sit in a beautiful field with gorgeous friends and chill out.

The shows were fab and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Yippeeeeee for there being a re-run next year

big hugs to all that were there i didn't get to say to you all as i lamely fell asleep sunday afternoon and did't wake up till nearly everyone had left

it was a wicked weekend

major congrats to Mynci, Si, Rez, and Matt for organizing it and well don to all their other helpers for keeping them sane. (at least a sane as normal anyway) The whole weekend rocked, bring on next year

oh and chimera rocked

Thankyou for a brilliant birthday everyone! my most memorable moments were: arriving after a mean journey to amazing birthday welcomes and gifts; dancing dancing dancing on friday night; beach trek in the rain on friday night/sat morn and seeing a herd of dear (!); happy balloons on sat night with some very lovely people!

thanks F.L.A.M.E. and everyone else who was involved.

finally back to stoke, had to stop over in manc cos of trains being crappy

had a wicked time, learnt loads of new stuff, thanks sandy for the "oh no" funniest thing ive seen for a while

got to spin with hyperlights which was incredible

to everyone

Well I had to jump on and say a HUGE to F.L.A.M.E. for it and for having us.

It was fantastic and I really enjoyed myself with you all. Great to meet up with so many friends and meet some wicked new peep's too and get to be a part of a ROCKING show, which seemed to go down well

Did anyone get a picture of my fire flags in use sat night? Want to see if they look as insane on film as they do in front of my face!

Lastly ...... ok damn it Sandy, NOW I seen you naked ...... could be in shock/treatment for some time

jo_ryhmes got some photo's of your flags, check through the link she posted above.

was really good to see you again, I'm running out of excuses to not see if the kung fu brothers ropedart instructional DVD is any good..

i made a little video to say thank you

clicky clicky

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yakumo,

Yes you should then lend it to me quickly
In fact just buy it and if yer too busy I can tell you if its any good later about time I got some new moves with it....... you at play?

wicked vid jo!

Haha Jo inspired me, just spent 2 hours cutting together a HUGE vid (4 min vid and i took half hour of vid + 250 photos at the weekend) and realised that its probably way to big to post anywhere. But if any of the flame guys want it then just PM me.

I love doing this stuff!
Thanks again everybody for a wicked weekend.

(Will there be photos vids etc all uploaded to the site cus that'd be cool, and a good promotional doo da. Hint hint)

Oh an for a sample of my work check out my myspace vid of samarai jack!

darkness-before - try using something like www.megaupload.com to host that video you made, i would love to see it, and sure many others would too

I had such an awesome time

The Chimaera show seems to have turned up on YouTube, and no-one seems to have mentioned it, so I thought I'd post it.
