for sure! I'll most probably be in the horsedrawn field as I have a load of mates there and will be doing some workshops and stuff there. Although It's a tough call between camping with horses or jugglers . . .
I've also just looked at the bands line-up, and it's pretty damn good. There's gonna be some serious danceage goin down to eat static, babyhead, dreadzone, 3 daft monkeys, and a load more ace music makers!
woohoo!!!

Mags, that's cool. I may have to run a workshop at a juggling club in Gloucester on the wednesday afternoon on the way up to Play.
Andrealee, I will have a load of my workshop kit with me cuz I is 'working' at sunrise celebration so unfortunately I probably won't have a lot of space.

Hey Firenix
Ooooohhhhh!!!!!
Thanks heaps for the offer of a tent etc!!! I am delighted to camp with you at Sunrise and PLAY and share stuff! And maybe a ride in the Nixmobile to EJC too..from where though? What are you doing between PLAY and EJC??
My plans are:
fly into Bristol from Spain on 16th to get to Sunrise... then Bluecat has offered me a lift to PLAY. It's about 12 days between PLAY and EJC so I had planned to see some mates in Cumbria, and hopefully get over to see elderly rellies in Yorkshire before I go to Ireland. But I could meet you somewhere for a lift. Or even if I end up flying cos it's quicker or I'm at the 'wrong' end of the country I still want to camp with you!!!
So indeed I will PM/email stay in touch about all this.
Hugs
Gabe

Greetings to all
SOLAR www.projectsolar.co.uk shall be doing FireShows, FireNix shall be doing solo Daytime shows Street Theatre Shows involving all or none of the following. Knife, bee, Fireball and whip juggling and cracking (not the bees - that would be inhumane!!), hat manipulation, mime, the 'Party Popper of Doom' and the 'Coat Hanger of Death', Fire Escapology and Fikir - to name but a few.
I shall also hopefully be running a Cabaret/Renegade in one of the tents, so if anyone has ANYTHING they'd like to do in front of an audience, nothing pornagraphic (unless I vet it 1st!!:)). Please PM me. If its of very high quality, there maybe some tickets involved.
I also have some cheap tickets and a lift going, so PM me if your interested
