Summer Location: Queen Victoria gardens.
The aim is not for a solely firetwirling night, but a night whereby firetwirlers, jugglers, contact jugglers, diabolo etc can meet. So feel free to bring friends who may be interested.
Night starts at 6pm for all those who are keen to learn. Fire starts after dark 7.00 - 8ish till late!
So.... the location is Queen Victoria Gardens
St. Kilda Road – opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)
The grassed area near the three raised palm trees. (Look out for the bronze statue hammer thrower)
With only a 5 minute walk over the princess bridge from Flinders Street station.
Here's the map
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...360&ie=UTF8
*WINTER LOCATION*
Under the Princess bridge (Southbank side). Where the Southbank Sundey market happens.

Hey Guys, just thought I'd let you guys know this weekend is my 21st... =D
So I'll be there from about 15:30, and will be bringing munchies, drinks and foods... =D
Would be great to see a turnout like last Sunday!
Hope you can all make it

Only poi, contact balls and juggling balls allowed. New rule, sorry staffers, your new location is somewhere in the docklands near the oil refinery, I can't remember where, but hey, have fun.
Moka, happy birthday bro, one more step into adulthood and one step closer to... you know... 22, the coolest age there is.
Hopefully I'll be able to make it man, you seem to have taken care of the foodstuffs, so I'll bring the noise! lol, but seriously, if there's anything you need or want me to bring man, let me know.
Hope to see y'all on Sunday.

Strippers? Ok, do you want me to bring my "Fire-man Fred" outfit or my "Long arm of the law" costume. Oh wait, you'll want my most popular show the world famously sexy...
"Man wearing only a trenchcoat, socks and suspiciously brown underpants and kitchen gloves, holding a tub of vaseline and a syringe of his own blood!"
The feedback from that particular show is amazing, I had one woman say "that deranged look in your eye, for a second I thought you may've actually developed a Schizoaffective disorder" that's how sexy it is.
And because I like you guys, I'll only charge half-price: $2.50.
If you want more, I've got a couple of mates, Harold and Luke that can "back me up" so to speak...

Sadly, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight, as much as I'd love to be there to scare you all, my goddamn work has called me up to say the other dude has called in sick, nobody wants to cover it, but my excuse isn't as good as the others, being "I'm at the beach" or "I'm at the movies", so unfortunately, I've been suckered into it.
I hope you all have a great time though, happy birthday Moka, I shall not see you next week either due to Rainbow Serpent, but I will strive to be there the week after.

Well, I'm going.
I'm readying myself nowish. ( I do live in Geelong, not Melb though, so don't assume that'll mean there'll be someone there early.

I'll probably try to get there early so I can work on my skillz and my tan. Kill two birds with one stone, and double the rate at which my sexiness grows.

I think I'll make an appearance after a family barbeque tonight. It isn't a total fire ban, so I'll bring fire equipment, but we'll see if it actually gets used.

The weather's looking quite nice, so hopefully things will work out. That said, I'm very very poor at the moment, and my car's running low on petrol, so we'll have to see how things go.
