Bam Bam, hopefully we're staying with Jez (as he doesn't agree with labelling from this point on i will refer to him only as Karen).

But his plans to collect me from the stationseem somewhat hazy to say the least. He did at one point mention Small Boy and alcohol in the same sentence but went very quiet when i showed an interest. So who knows.

I'll leave the rest of the answers to Ros cos she has a better idea of what's going on than i do.

Have a fun PiP kids, and if glass does the inverted buzzsaw thing please kick his a$$ for me.

Next time do realize that it's not
"Raising money to fly Cass out."
as it is...
"Buying really expensive Crepes."

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Congratulations PK, have you thought of a date yet, or just been running around deliriously happy?

That was a great day, although it's going to turn out really expensive - after having a play with some really nice toys, I've really got to buy a whole load more

There were a few people I meant to say hi to, but either didn't get around to it since I was being accosted by people who wanted a spin, or had another lack of confidence attack.
(C@ntus and Ros, this is mainly aimed towards you - I was meaning to say hi properly before loads of people turned up, but I had no self confidence for a while, and then got distracted by all the spinny, burney things Nice braids by the way)

Oh yeah, I apologise to anyone who got fed up with the constant pop, pop, pop, pop, pop of the bubblewrap - I'm sure it must have got on people's nerves at some stage.

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

Lemons indeed )

Hope infected Mushrooms was as good as the partying that was had by us.

Party in Oxford was shut down by police and we headed back to bristol for the free party there, arrived 5.30 am - span fire - span wire wool - danced and did as much poi as possible until about 12 then went and sat in the sun on a 100 m - 45 degree slope

Eventually a metal tray was acquired and everyone had a go at sliding down on the tray great speeds reached but in being the only one to go from the top I managed a bruised arse and shredded hoody!

Just chilled today as only got back at 2pm

Had a great time down with you lot and look forwards to seeing you soon.

Luv and Lemons!!!

Hi all

Was good to see so many faces! -

Glass I did look round to say 'bye' when I left - but you had dis-pa-roo'd by the time I left.. don't worry - vebal challenges get most people from time to time - but it was fun!

Roz and Cantus - sorry was too fuzzi-headed to make sence.. I'll be in touch by mail..

Bovril - the pop pop popping kept making me think there was a nice lovely roaring fire! Very comforting..

Hope you all had a good nite at the Mushies..

Woody - Glad you found a party in the end.. I felt really bad thinking that you lot where all driving around Oxfordshire, specially since I was sitting on my arse chillig out.. but hey the life of a free party - the journey is half the fun!

I thought the bubble wrap was great! Well done for been so prepared. Everybody loves popping bubblewrap I would have thought!

Had a lovely evening at the poi was so lovely seeing all the people. Sorry I did not go and meet more people but I came with a gang, including a friend I have not seen for a year!

Oh what a lovely weekend though!

Can't believe that is the end of Summer PIP. Maybe see some of you at Spitafields soon (quite near my office but I can imagine the security alert if I bring a tank of kero to the office )

Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

Hey guys!!
Went down there yesterday about 6-7ish...but couldn't find anyone..... Was looking for flames flying around everywhere. Don't tell me you were all gone by then? Must have walked around the Common for about an hour (less joint rolling time).

Such a pity, has been ages since I have hung out with firies. *sighs* next time perhaps.

~wouldn't it be funny if everyone in the world quacked at once~
