Calling ALL Firies!!!
Time for a BIG get together!


For those who don�t know St. Kilda gathering has moved to the Alexandria Gardens � hosted by the fabulous Footbag and Spherespinner - At last a central location for everyone!!!
'Grand Opening Sun 10th October' Lets see how many people we can drag out of the woodwork and have a big meet.

Other countries have gatherings of hundreds + regularly . I think it's about time we lifted our game�but that�s up to you guy's. I'm throwing in a 20 litre drum of Shel Sol to public use (This is my last one then I'm poor again so take advantage of it Bring your best toys and back up fuel and come play!!!

Night starts at 5pm for all those who are keen to learn / skill share by light. Fire starts after dark (obviously!) 7.30 - 8ish till late!

Location: Alexandra / Queen Victoria Gardens
St. Kilda Road � opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)
'Between the 'Hammer Throw' bronze statue and the path that runs through this section' (Garden to left of the Floral Clock)

Aprox 5-7 min walk from Flinders St Station away from the city on the left hand side

Drummers wanted on mass!!! This is an event for everyone so come join. (CD players will be on hand if they're slack though so bring music if you want too)

* In the event of a rain out, consider this moved to the following week and watch www.homeofpoi.com for updates in 'events gatherings'�should be new thread soon. (Infrequent light drizzle is not rain!!!)

Footbag, the man of the hour who is beginning this night; will be there this sun along with the former St. Kilda crew - so go check the space out early and have a play with them if your up for it

250+ Melbourne fire twirlers have been emailed about this event already and I know there are at least twice that many of you out there!!! Spread the word and lets have a big fun night out. Become re-inspired, socialize or show off � what ever your passion come share it but remember it's up to you guy's so no pikers!

Sorry about the name change now. Had to be done though.
Hey Tyr, I don't know if you noticed but I based (hopefully no bridge of copyright.) my first post on your initial introduction. It was just too perfect.
See you there.

Geez, I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss - I new my anal retentiveness to copyrighting everything I ever did, wrote, or said would play of one day!!!!! - You owe's me big time Ataxia ...Your first post was perfect and needed nothing added - (except perhaps some dancing monkey but they're hard to come by these days) - I'm just stupid and methodical about these things and like everything to be in one place - comes from being a control freak leading a chaotic life

I like everything orderly and in its right place �(o.k. bored with it being in the right place now - lets juggle it, set it on fire and see what happens - It�s a bit of a confusing lifestyle but a lot of fun)

Anyways - yay the mechanical monkey says no rain sun�Don't trust it personally so pay off what ever pagan gods you keep up your sleeves.

P.s. I know you is a footbag guru Ataxia - what other non-fire things do you play with? - I'm a puppetry, contact & stilt walking boy myself - a poor but amused Juggler & diabolist. I dabble in just about everything else�except foot bags, I'm assuming this be just another name for hacky sacks ( I may be looking like a HUGE ignoramus right about now ) anyway I'll have to pester you to teach me some pre fire on Sun - something I've always meant to learn but showed no natural aptitude for whatsoever (My fandangle way for saying 'I'm crap' - funny what academia does to ya�:) CU There

And Rouge,

I'm sure they will find plenty to do along Southbank

Loving you from the deepest part of my loins.

Hay guy's, yes fire happens EVERY SUNDAY from now on.

Might try something like 'Big Night Every First Sun of the Month' �or something
This would give people with limited time / energy a good night to aim for but still have a regular night for dedicated firies. (With end of exams and good weather setting in every week will be big soon � but a night to go all out on would be especially fun)

Poll it up baby - What do people think? If yes is the first sun of the month best or are we clashing with something?

come summer, the zillions of hiberanated twirlers will be more noticed than ever. Having a n establised, convenient Big Burn will consolidate itself.
It'll all come down to good weather and personal convenience.
personally, i've moved house to within a short drive away from the 3 palm trees, so it's only a matter of me being able to walk on sunday afternoons is the issue!!

ps housewarming at my house this friday night - pm me if you have an urge to go play and for god's sake someone inform cassandra!!

I hope all you Aussie types are lookin after me dear ole Mum. One day I'll manage to stowaway on a plane and come for a burn with you all myself. Til then, take it easy and keep the flames alive.

Knock Knock. - *Yawn* Oh hello Rough, no 'Ole Mother' live's on the other side of the street more up to the left, Number 53 I think? What? yeah I'll look after her if I see her...

*Tyr yawns sleepily, wishes Rough good luck with her exams and trundles back to his warm Doona'ie Bed*

TTFN, Good night
