ah Drew, shame you couldn't stay for the shows! yes there was much rockage and huge amounts of cheese in the grease lightning routine! hoorah! (I think someone got some video footage
)Jacob and Sophie's stuff was stunning as usual
The Lame Ozzes did turn up and put a couple of their numbers in the main show... what can I say? we were blown away
The main show was great as usual, that guy who plays the saw was there again
, Ads performed the impossible, there was some lovely acrobalance and much heckling at the compares haha...AND I'm sure she'd just LOVE me advertising this here, but it made me very happy, Roz and I have started work on a wicked sassy/cheesy poi routine
much fun was had all-round

I was in the fire show! But I was a bit [censored]. Oh well, next year I will just drop my staff and shake my booty, then do a cunning bikini costume change. That will KICK ASS!

It's not all cheese and sass - most of it is proper spinning with lotsa lovely laura 'n' ros shaped moves............ yay
Grease was very well recieved. It was totally wicked and thoroughly hilarious and cheesier than month-old camembert.
Sophie and Jacob........... *swoon*
Funny children heckling in possibly the most perfect, comedy, oppertune ways throughout the show on Friday - couldn't have been funier if planned!
Flame Oz were dribblingly spectacular as always.
I liked the Gorilla.
Shockingly good diablo bit in the best trick/impromptu renegade during games on Saturday afternoon.
Perfect company.
A small amount of rain.
A little too much Cat Enpire (though could be worse!)
The Martial A.R.S.E Brigade turned most people upside down and set a lot of others off on giggling fits throughout the weekend.
*dribble* oooooooooo it was so unbelievably hard to leave.
I want more.
*sigh*

Tempé!
Does anyone know how to contact him? I got distracted and forgot to speak to him before I left but I need to for next play Wish I'd been able to see the fire show, wish I'd been able to see more than half of the main show, wish George could have seen any show! It's the only bit of the convention she actually likes! Edan had a good time apart from being far to cold and upset on Friday night, he slept for 5 1/2 hours when he got home which I think is his longest ever since he arrived! All that cooing and adoring and poking and passing around and holding and cuddling must have gotten him all excited and tired out
And, amazingly, I left with the same two lighters I arrived with!! I'm still in shock.....

To think I nearly didn't go
What a wonderful time, so many lovely people and so much talent. Missed the Fire Show but Friday night was excellent and the games great fun.I'd like to thank Skully for the loan of her hoop (and if which I am now the proud owner
) and for inspiring me to practice so much on Friday. However, having counted up the bruises, I'm not sure whether to thank her or curse her :ouch:Yay to Paul for naked handstands (and Bubbles for the payment..
)Definitely staying for longer next year...

Maybe I should change this too something abit nicer, humm no I still think your all C
