The Firegathering Festival 2007 - 18th-20th May - : Near Horsham/Crawl

ummm, you can leave it at my house when you get to Brighton, but then you have to come back to Brighton after the festival before you go gallavanting off...otherwise Ben is coming by car, I'm sure you can keep your stuff in the boot or something if that helps, either or, whichever works for you

Yeah! I'd like to do that!

Saves me from worrying about stuff. I'll play it by ear when I get to Brighton. Depending on the weather!

Cheers Hun

*Mental note to rob Dave*

not really We'll have loads of stuff too, you may be able to leave it with ours if we get a secure space, we're bringing smoke machines and lasers because we can't spin

why cant you spin??? i am so excited about firegathering and will certainly be doing as much spinning as i can!!

You can't spin?!?! Why not?

Haha, you guys. I think he might be joking. Just a little bit

yeah...they can spin...oh boy can they spin! Mynci just cant ( I mean WONT) spin poi...apparently.

Oh I read that saying meaing I can't spin meaning you're not allowed to.. I've heard that from the actual organisers too mind you, so that's why...

Had a wicked time! Lovely to meet all you guys (Neon_Shaolin, Pineapple Pete, Mynci, Ninjadave, Fi, -sandy- e.t.c) Will see you guys probably at southern lights or something.

Thanks for an awsome weekend!

Sorry I don't spin poi, and whatever you saw in our last act was clearly a result of whatever concoctions you had previously imbibed

oh and a big thank you to garthy and the rest who helped us pimp out southern lights

so guys... again next year

It was really rather fantastic wasn't it?

Cheers to everyone who poked me into coming, it was a nice thing to come back to England for!

Spinning with lovely ambient live music (Duologue and Digitonal were ones to remember) is definitely something I wanna get used to...

Thanks to Garthy, Sandy, Blu and Ben for sleeping bag, tent, blanket and ride to London respectively...

Let the festival season commence...

I had so much fun! I actually cried when I got on the Bus back to Brighton, I'll defenitly be going again next year, at 45 minutes away from home I really cant complain.

Thanks to all who made it so very very lovely.

wikkid festie guys, thank you so much. Best bit was Jonathon Kay.

was so happy to meet so many people but i cant even remember one name now, terrible stuff!! had a blast though, learnt a few new tricks and realised a few home truths!

lots of love to all that attending, to those who didnt - dont miss it next year!

thanks all for a very happy weekend, and a ripper of a way to start my UK festivals

Hell yeh! that kicked ass! see u all at sunrise? MAKE THE EFFORT PEOPLE! MAKE THE EFFORT! mwah x

Quiet footstool! learn your place good to see you again Dave

It was great to see you guys too! Mynci, your show rocked! MORE POI!!

GO TOAST!!!

So many uberstaffers in one place!
(UK's smaller thus easier to gather everyone!)

Southern Lights is now looking VERY likely!

favourite manipulators of the weekend - the guy with a rubber chicken, i dont know his name but absolutely every toy he picked up he was really quite good at, made it all his own and was just beautiful to watch, even with a rubber chicken. He was definately the best staffer i saw!

also, the funny, sweet, happy guy who ran around in a jesters hat getting drunker and drunker and spinning his devils sticks, he was such a funny funny performer and as my boyfriend spins sticks, it was really cool to watch him

i wondered if anyone knew the names of these magical people and perhaps if they had any videos online??? i am really interested to show liam the Drunk Juggling Jester, he was Brilliant!!

The staffer with the chicken was Dave (Neon_Shaolin) and the guy with the devil sticks in the jester hat was Joshua ( I don't know if he's on HOP or not )

Both of which are at Southern Lights

Fantastic! i shall have to deliver the boy to Joshua for a drunken devil stick workshop... Hes a great festie character that man! was very nice to me and even marched half way around the festival with me trying to find a friend!

cant wait to see everyone again at Southern Lights, if it is even half as good as firegathering it will be brilliant no doubt!

(cheers for the info Sichainey xx)

And for those of you that missed it the firegathering was featured on the culture show last night on the cuban brothers section.
(Yay I was on T.V )

Damn it, do you think there's a catchup somewhere?

I recorded it on DVD and have uploaded it to google video, just a 3 minute thing by the Cuban brothers

clickity click

Nice one. 1:23 my green tent! Yay!
