Hello wonderous people of Oz...
As of 18th of September shall be making my way towards your part of the southern hemisphere for an 8month visit (and a long-needed break from the UK)
Main reason is to visit all you lovely people down there for major spinn-age and working for a living to keep me there as long as possible.
My main concrete plans are Melbourne Juggling Convention in er... Melbourne... and Common Ground in Adelaide. Otherwise it's pretty much a tumbleweed's life for me until May. I plan to visit at least Sydney and Brisbane (and that common tourist trap Alice Springs)
As far as I know I will be staying with Pineapple Pete from MJC till Common Ground.
If anyone has any other events I may be interested or if anyone can accommodate me whilst on my travels do let me know.
Hope to see you guys down there!
Peace Out xx

Hamamelis ex-T makes amazing paper flowers. I mean not your average squished tissue. Origami. Incredible. Get her to show you!

heeheee... no worries re: tuesday... for me, it's as much an excuse for an extra bbq per week, as anything else, so I'll always be there regardless of the levels of interest or lack thereof...
bring your antispin/doubles/isolation head with you to juggle, cos I'll be picking it apart for inspiration...

Who says you CAN'T incorporate breakdancing into your routines?
It'd be good to see what comes out for little head in a few months (or even weeks) time. Should keep you busy for a while...
See you on Monday?

Put it this way. My harddrive is 250GB, I had 72GB free, and ended up with 9GB

oh... I reckon I'll be busy for quite some time with the head-full I've got right now... I'm anti-spinning everything I can get my hands on, including a couple pens just now... if the family start seeing crosses hanging up all over the walls, it's not cos I've got religion...
and monday... yup yup!! I really enjoyed getting back to juggle again... still got the lil ones next monday, so this time I'll come prepared... plenty of chocolate and lego (or something)...
hmmm... actually... definitely monday, provided we're not too wiped out from sunday (the big day out)

Come to Perth!! If you come before March, you could stay with us :-) (and a few furries).
Perth is awesome!
You also tilt when you should withdraw, and that is Knightly too.

Arrived in Sydney last night after a grueling trainride. After saying goodbye to the cool and gorgeous foreign boys in my hostel
Staying with my grandma who in her mid 80s is still very active. You can't pin her down!See you Brisbanites!
Looking forward to the Sydney Juggling Convention this weekend.
Pogo: No probs
Just keep practicing. Go to church... Newgabe: Yup, see you there this weekend! Thanks for everything
Amarao: I probably won't get to Perth until April for SpunOut. But thanks for the offer. Will that still be available then?

If I'm still in Perth then- definitely...if not- my lovely other half will be here- and he says no problem...he'll have plenty of room with me n most of our gear gone
(He's coming later to NSW)
So if you come for Spunout, you'll have somewhere to stay. He's still deciding if he wants to go and camp there- but either way- you'll have a nice warm bed here.

He can do both. Stay with you sometimes and at Spunout as well.
Geo had offered to snaffle (stable
) Neon Shaolin as well so tis good there is no shortage of beds on offer. Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Camp Leschenaultia (Lesh -nolt- ia)

• Large recreation hall for indoor games.
• In the cool of winter stay warm near the wood combustion stove.
• Separate accommodation for group leaders.
• Wheelchair access

Not sure what a wide game is though.....
If you would rather tent we havea small one that the lovely Durbs and Linda used to try see WhaleSharks with. maybe he should have used a kayak.

Wide games are the stuff scouts etc get up to.. stalking and hiding and treasure hunts and stuff. Good fun!

UCOF: I have but only fleetingly and by the side of trainlines
I've not eaten Kangaroo either... there's something about eating the flesh of a national icon that seems slightly wrong to me...
I'm always on a Manhunt...
Gnor: Woodford has kinda put me off tents for a while (plus I left my tent at Gabes) so I'd happily fork out for a nice comfortable chalet!
Yes organise Manhunt...
**BLOG UPDATE**
Sydney has been fantastic so far (despite the warnings of the Melbournites!) Well the city is too hectic and big for me but the people I've met at the Sydney Juggling Convention have been lovely.
Mark Adam Douglas was a star in letting me stay at his (as a reprive from my dottily totalitarian Gran) use his pool (with an impromptu skinny dip too) for the duration of the convention.
Dave (BandanaDave on HOP) has been lovely too. He's taken me in and has offered to let me train alongside him in his mini circus troupe. Plus he lives near a lovely beach so visits to his place is on the cards!
Rozi - thanks for the lifts from the juggling gathering!
I've also started going to Capoeria classes. $55 for 4 sessions as opposed to the 26 squid back in blighty!
I intend to get super limber for when I come home!
Oh yeah. It's Sydney Mardi Gras soon. Still dunno whether to go to that...!

Indeed... the fact that he's a red-blooded (and red-haired) Str8 guy who openly admits he LOVES Madonna (as well as singing along to the lyrics during a routine) deserves respect!
His flat is SOOOOOO pimp. As soon as I walked into his flat I thought 'hmmmm, high ceilings, yup, a juggler house!'
Pity he's moving out soon...

What's the difference between an Australian zoo and an
English zoo?
An Australian zoo has a description of the animal on the
front of the cage along with a recipe.
