Right... woke up a bit, now... I think...



Where to begin... In no particular order:



Durbs - For the lift and general fun, and taking the shisha off me when I got bored of holding it, and the shoe, what an idea!



GothFrogette- you're lovely, you are. Many thanks for all the hugs.



Firepoise - You also are lovely! You give great hugs. and provide cheesy chips round a fire! You are such a kind and caring person, it was an honour to see you again. Next falmouth? And a special thankyou for carrying a big metal ball all over the country for me!! You're a star!



Mags - Duuuude! Your organisational skills (did I really just say that? Mags? Organised?... oh well) are as always fantastic.you made the weekend such a good one. Can you teach me the matrix, by the way? wink



Ros - It was such a pleasure to meet you at last. Your spinning is awe inspiring. That contact poi matrix was looking amazingly good! Come to Guildford more!!



Jon - What can I say? This guy is great. He does what he's told on a sunday night round a campfire!! Hope to see you again soon dude.



Skully - maker of namebadges and giver of fine ass pasta. Thankyou for feeding me now and again and being generally crazy!



Martha - you were amazing on sunday morning!! Or was it saturday? I dunno... Lots of bounce and similar lovely items just for you!



Bov - for balloon and mop and all sorts of other fun!!



Oli - dude. Cheers for helping me out with Oli-loops man! And you're gonna have to get me some of those microchips that you have in your poi to make them spin so well!



Will - Giver of balls. Provider of fun. Take it easy, mate. Come to guildford soon!! Although, Durbs and I were talking about going up to the hangar for some CJ learning soon... but we'll talk about that later!



Arashi - for the wonderful Sake, and chips, and any other food that was consumed under your tarp... All the other providers there as well must also get a mention, but I'm really crap with meeting that many people at once...



Flashpoint - for the lift to Asda for breakfast. Awesome!



Puresock - at least I think it was him that had the Nitrous...



I'm sure I've missed people out, and I am SOOOOO sorry if I have. I'll be adding more as I remember them...



But yeah! an amazing weekend. Being home feels a bit pants after that. Thanks to EVERYBODY (and I mean everybody) that was there, that Inspired me and maybe was inspired by me (well, you never know...). You are all a fantastic bunch of people, and I can't think of a nicer bunch to spend a wet weekend with!! Just wish I had managed to get around and meet every single one of you properly.



Wow. I'm still basking in the afterglow and will be for a while. Love to all.



Now, I have to add lots more people to my MSN list...

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

This has been said multiple times already, but it just *can't* be said enough: MAGS YOU ROCK! Thank you so much for organising and taking care of the entire thing.

Polarity, I loved the hula-ing. And origami. And letting us mug your tent.

Far, Far too many people to name individually. You know that you're all wonderful, and now you must all come to Play so I can see you again.

Talk about a surreal weekend. Roll on some more of the cinammon and gold goodness!

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

You've got to wonder how someone can be so careless, nate, that's a lot of stuff you managed to lose (I notice the staff covers on that list)

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed themselves. Wish I'd been there.

That was a fantastic weekend biggrin

Too many names to post all of them, but I'm making an exception for a mention for Mags - I don't think we can thank you enough for all the stuff you did (talking to policemen and irate campsite owners) hug

Now, for some words of wisdom I compiled over the weekend...

I wish I didn't eat animals - pyrowill
Stop eating animals then - ucof (possibly me)
I like eating them - will

Jon, you got some wierd stains on your trousers - pyrowill

It'd be alot quicker if Falmouth was in London - pyrowill

We really should stop talking about HoP now - ucof

Jon, stop pulling my pants, I don't want a side wedgie - pyrowill

Something smelled funny, but I couldn't decide if it was me or the shower - mint sauce

Let's chuck the wood on and make it a hot and burny thing - ucof

Ah, that's nice - the change of clothes makes me feel almost clean - simian

The feels wierd - ucof, while wearing one of skully's bras

I'm only going somewhere when my shoes aren't full of MING! - simian

I don't usually name slugs I'm about to fling halfway across a field - skully

I don't have actual control over my hips - simian
You're not doing too bad for now, we'll turn you into a poledancer yet monkey - tao star

Now, I become a jedi - mint sauce, pulling on a poncho

That quiche tastes really rough, but I just keep eating more - duballstar

You've got a pair of breasts on the back of your head now - simian
Wicked, hairy breasts! - tao star

And I'm sitting in a puddle of water, so that's cool - pyrowill

It sounds like there's a bag of rabbits in there - skully, while listening to her chest with a stethoscope

I've never caught on fire, I don't think I'm flammable - simian

Why do people think it's ok to squeeze my breasts without asking? - 2bags

Monkey, you're going to be my feeder, I'll pay you £7 an hour to feed me - tao star

Jon's in there, sweating like a pig - skully

That's about right, now spread them apart - gayle

Don't throw a banana at me, what kind of madman are you? - simian

My nipples have given up being hard, they're so cold - mint sauce

You're very tactile aren't you? - mags
Yes, I'm a little piece of blu-tac - fluffy napalm fairy

I'm going to stand by the stove, hoping that a cup of tea will miraculously appear - simian

Stop isolating my jumper - skully

It's time for the squeezing it between my thighs maneuver - skully

Go fluff a beer from somewhere, it's like blagging but with more style - mags, to fluffy napalm fairy

The day I go to a kebabery and ask for a burger and get a burger, my quest will end - pyrowill

I can't feel anything under my bottom - flashpoint

I thought he was drunk, but it turned out he was french - pyrowill

I got fondled good and proper earlier and I enjoyed every moment of it - gayle

The gnats don't like Will's ginger blood - flashpoint

I'm not into necrophillia, I'm just vaguely interested - flashpoint

I love my willy - goth frogette

I can't remember where my fire poi are, so the chances of burning myself are very small, unless I fall into the fire - linden rathen

Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Bob - bob the train driver.

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

A truely awesome weekend indeed! Much nitrous and wine and silliness.

I learned so much that my head feels like it's about to burst. Thank you to Meenik mainly for that, but also to people like Bluecat, Beth, Dixie and Simian for discussing ridiculous throws and tangles with me.

Among other things, I learned
Oli loopy things (almost)
Lots and lots of flowery stuff
antispin buzzsaw fountains
almost isolated weave
Some origami
Making things with those scooby lacey things
Hoop (well, sort of)
Airwrap to stall
Buzzsaw barrel rolls
And I got 50 catches of 5 balls.

These things make me happy. Fank yew to you all for being amazing, I shall see you at Play!

the airport lost my fire staff last night (they called it a POLE eek) but found it but 1/2hr later (longest of my life). Me and the lovely firepoise got back to Belfast at midnight last night due to delayed flights, but it was fun seeing her drop her contact ball on an unsuppecting sleeping passenger next to her
