Didn't I just pick the right weekend for Dublin!

As long as you're still all prepared to come to Belfast next weekend... Tainted, you're very welcome to join us. Would love to have another fire person there. My fire teacher and mentor from San Fran was nearly going to be here that weekend, too... but it looks like we'll be meeting the weekend after instead.

Ooh, FIRE! Yay!

Thank you for the crash at yours invite, Lisa. I'm booked at a hostel but I will see if I can cancel it for Saturday night. I'll be having a chat to Clare later tonight, so I guess we'll sort something out then.

I am glad this is an international game - I learnt in school that the world spins, and now I know it's true.

Big thankyou to everyone who was able to come to Belfast last weekend - I had a fantastic time, and thanks to Clare's superb organisation skills, I was able to relax and feel pretty damn good by Monday. One of my recent patients even greeted me on Monday morning by saying that he saw me on TV, and if I fix his shoulder, can I then teach him to do 'that thing'?

To Manuela and Aidan, my flatmates have managed to fix the broken lamp by breaking off all the remaining glass, and agree that it looks far better now that it matches all the other bare bulbs in the house! So thanks for that piece of spontaneous interior decorating.

Let's do it all again sometime!

Thanks again for the house Steph...

Would love to do it again sometime... but not sure when that'll be

Thanks everyone for coming up. I really appreciated it.

Btw, Lisa I have your flags, but I'll get them to you somehow.

Take care
xx

hola

how are all the posse on this fine tuesday evening??

all is well with me, tho i have managed to hurt my shoulder boohoo. bizarely enuff, i have no recollection of it, and the pain started in my chest. it then travelled into my left arm....(yikes) so hysteria took over for a few days and i was convinced i was about to have a heart attack.....

silly lady, seems i pulled a muscle. so no more hysteria.

so?? how did belfast go?? i hear a mention of the TV?? whats this??? tell me all!

i've been to acupuncture! its quite strange, but my eczema has cleared up. the needles go in a good inch, quite a strane sensation. but i recommend it. okey, im off, lemme know how belfast went pleeeeaaaase

Hey there Laura,



Sorry we've all been so crap at keeping in touch... Belfast was great, everyone had a marvellous time and we did loads of fire



On the Friday night we played in a local park and didn't get hassled by too many drunks ( ), on Saturday afternoon we took part in the anti-racism parade through the centre of Belfast and rumour has it Steph was on the TV news (though, we didn't see it, cos we were all getting stoned and spinning instead )



Saturday night we were playing outside the Queens student union, which was marvellous - we had 3 really wicked drummers, everyone danced their hearts out and it went down really well.



Yep, the weekend was great



Then, during the week, Aidan and I split up, which was very sad



But, we both travelled back down to Dublin at the weekend and had a great weekend... on Saturday night we danced in Temple bar with kelly and Mahinda (?!) drumming - it was really good fun, then on Sunday we went to kelly's party in a bar, which was also marvellous. We didn't get to do as much fire as we'd hoped, but we were all a bit too wasted to care.



So there you go, up to date



The Tralee juggling convention is on this weekend, but I'm not going... might organise a wee gathering up here in Belfast instead.



Hope all is well with you and your aches, pains and potions are getting better

Take care

Any one heading to Tralee this weekend???

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers...

Posted: 11th Nov 2004
Oh god

Everyone's going but me

Lol, yeah, never worry, there's loads of the Cork and Dublin spinny types going to Tralee... if you decide to stay in Belfast Colleen, I'm going to meet up with Steph for a spin somewhere (unless she's going to - which is cool )... PM me your mobile number.

I am still thinking about it, I have a very inmportant party here in cork two though and im torn. I do know of loads of people going, including some jugglers and spinners from cork. I'd be happy to give you some contacts.

Hi!!!1 everyone else.

I've been so lazy about posting in here lately, manby apologies to all concerned.

Belfast was a wonderfuly fun and magical weekend. We all met new people learned new things and entertained the great unwashed masses.

Thankyou to Firepoise and Dragon Princess for Organising and providing Bedding respectively.

claire you did a brilliant job.

Last week we went to dublin and performed on the street on friday. This was most fun. Once again it was in large part to the superb drummers and great company.

Heya Laudie!!! get your act together and come spinning!!!!

by for now

Tainted, pm me if you want some numbers to take with you to tralee.

I'll let you know what i decide.

I had and amazing weekend last, with my favourite lover from San Fran visiting for 4 days and 5 nights - and he spins. We did a bit of fire on Monday night, wowed my housemate who'd only ever seen it before from a vast distance on the beaches of Thailand. Sadly Jonathan (the lover) still doesn't believe in longterm relationships. How can he say he loves me, values me, is inspired by me, etc... but not want more?? Actually, I do underatnd where he's coming from, but that doesn't mean I have to like it that way. I value what we do have together. That's the most important thing.

So - any fire in Belfast this weekend?

I am glad this is an international game - I learnt in school that the world spins, and now I know it's true.

Posted: 13th Nov 2004
OKs, I know this is extremely late notice, but anyone in Belfast fancing meeting up for a bit of fire tonight?!!

You should all have my mobile by now, so get in touch if you want to meet up...

Take care
Clare xx

That would be splendid.

The one and only time I saw you perform was at Alpine for New Years, I believe, and I was fairly trashed throughout

Glad you're getting lots of work... I just got a job doing fire outside a nightclub in Belfast for a couple of hours on Boxing Night and New Years Eve... crappy nights, cold weather, but I'm being paid well for it

Are you doing anything or going anywhere nice for Christmas? And what's Santa bringing you? I'm thinking Santa might bring me some of Perdy's pretty flags...
