Soooo sorry and annoyed I didn't make it. Grrrr. Was all ill and stuff.

Just have to make sure I'm at every single one next year

Why is it that everthing which is fun is illegal, immoral, or fattening?

Posted: 9th Oct 2002
Did CPG make it in the end? Didn't see anyone who might've been her.

Bam Bam and Drome Pixie, you two are awesome spinners. I was muchly amazed.

Amy K, very impressed by your spinning style. Slightly scared by your not spinning off excess fuel though. I was excited to meet you at long last - Thanx for the PM. Check your inbox.

Small Boy - quite possibly the hairiest dwarf at the barbeque - thanks for chips and beds and pies and tea and occasionally bothering to wear clothes.

Bovril, we should come up with a nw topic on conversation for next time. We've discussed your hand twice now.

UCOF, calm down a bit.

PK, I'll stop keeping it a secret then shall I? Congrats n stuff. Do me and she get invited to the big day? You're definitely invited to ours.

Glass, didn't get much spinning done. Spent much of the day policing your snow leopard. Stopping people from treading on it.

Pink Poi. I had no part in wrapping you and Justine up. I just balanced stuff on you every now and then.

Noona, sorry i didn't get to say goodbye properly but you'd gone off to partake of shroomage when Ros and I left in the end.

Havoc, saw you but didn't get round to saying hi.

Knoxious, nice spinning. I'd have bought some flags from you but my time machine refused to go get cash for me from the future. Any chance of a discount?

Ok I'll end this here cos I'm just gonna keep going all night if I'm not careful.

It was really great seeing everyone.
I wish i'd spun more etc. But nay mind. There's always next time . . .

C@ntus, agreed. Hopefully, next time, I won't be such a coward and be scared to talk to people I already know are fantastic people.
But if I am, I'll try to burn off all my hair, so we've got a new conversation starter

edit... Oh, and I'll probably have more burns under my belt (I don't get to burn much here, since I don't know anyone who can act as a safety and not get really bored), so I'm not as likely to be distracted as easily

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Nice dreads by the way

Cantus/Ros - You are both awesome and welcome round mine anytime. Sorry about the stripper and the mad party! Oh and sorry for the amount of computer games we forced you to watch/play!

Thanks all for another excellent gathering. Special thanks to Bovril for the bubble warp :-) Appolagies to The United Chains of Fire for the slightly premature explosion from the mark 1 Lemon Launcher (tm). 100psi proved a bit much for the lemonade bottle cap. I'll try and remember more advanced hydro-lemon rocket technology for next time :-)

Slight chaos followed Poi in the Park. In the absense of Infected Mushrooom tickets, we headed for a free party by Reading. Only to find that it had moved to junction 6 on the M40, loads of piss poor navigating (by Burns) and general stonned ness eventually got us to the new site, only to find it being busted by the police. A quick regrouping in a layby after the police told us to go home, and Burns, MarkP and I head for a party we know of in Bristol. Arrive there about 5am and get right on with partying until sometime Sunday afternoon. sweet, though going straight to Bristol would have been the best idea :-)

The Universe laughs at plans.

Thanks again to all involved in an excellent weekend.

Was it the dead tree that someone thought would make a good hammock hangerer?

Meh

Posted: 12th Oct 2002
Ah the tree destroyer was you Poi'd and insane! I was wondering who would own up ;-) Luckily it's look quite dead. No photos of Lemon launching unfortunatly :-(

It's a pitty we can't get your footage online. maybe a visit to someone with a good enough puter or copying it to VHS and sending it to someone?
