Well, we survived the last one. Some of my body hair has grown back, and Geoffrey should be out of hospital by January... so why not do it all over again? Lyndon would have wanted us to... and I think Isobel is still in the park somewhere anyway...
For those of you who weren't at the last firey fandango, I shall be throwing wide the doors of my (borrowed) Sevenoaks home, and inviting anyone and everyone to come and spend the weekend. There will be lots of paraffin, lots of spinners, lots of all sorts of things in fact. Including baked products. Y'all are welcome to come for as long or as short a time as you feel like - stay for a week or just pop in for a spin over the weekend. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of bed space. Or floor space, unless they bring even more lap-tops than last time...
For more details and some critics' reviews see 'Kent 28th - 30th Nov', but bear in mind that this one is going to be a whole lot better. There will be:
More bed space! (well, at least one extra bed)More Michal Kahn! (author of 'Poispinning', mentor, and all round poi goddess)More baked products! (going to start baking any day now... fill up the attic)More weird stuff going on in the garage! (see 'Pounce... parental discretion is advised)More working computers! (It's fixed it's fixed at last at last!)More cute poi boys! More foxy poi chicks! So write it in your diaries, tingle with excitement, stock up on paraffin and get ready to set the town on fire! (note to Big Brother: this is a metaphor)
See you in January...

<--- in awe faceand i will have more money mid-january so i should be able to contribute more then to my own flight fund.
hrm.
I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Hell, I was just short of entertainment. Watching you and Mand at play in the garage has got to be worth something.
If January is out of the question, there will be other parties. One's that don't clash with the NIPP.

Well, if I can put you down for a fiver then we've cleared the half way point already! Think of it as an investment UCOF - we'll make a fortune selling the videos of Mand & Pounce over the net...

Hehe... you can't hide from me boy!
Well the problem is i need to work. BUT the pubs up here said they needed staff, and are being really crap at getting back to me. If i havn't got a job by then, i will stay, and try to get work at one of the pubs near you.
Deal?

And balloon modelling! (possibly?)
I'm very, very tempted to turn up for a while, in which case there will indeed be balloon modelling
I've just got to work out the logistics of it all, and I'm there
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Joe - I'm finally sorted in Manchester and will be down in London on the 11th Jan. Can't get there any earlier I'm afraid as I have to be in Glasgow on the 10th.
I'll give you a shout nearer the time to see about staying for a couple of days and milking the dregs of your Jamboree.
Take it easy fella
- D
p.s. any of the class expected to turn up?
It it weren't for my opposable thumb I'd have had that trick!

What's all this about 'staying for a couple of days' mate? I've been relying on you to be living here for most of 2004!

Apologies Mein Host - I'm only booked to be in London for 12th and 13th Jan at work but will certainly be down for more parties and get-togethers.
We've gotta chat through who's up for Burning Man next year too!

frodo go to www.burningman.com and anyone can go if they are willing to pay the ticket price and willing to be self sufficient in the middle of the desert for about a week, with 30,000 of their closest freak friends.
It is a fabulous event. Solitude sometimes speaks to you, and you should listen.

i'm gonna hang out with the DFT's! there should be a pretty good size of HOPers there. I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

So much to do, so little time...
Have opened a bank account for people to donate money to the "Get Pounce To Kent" fund. About to start a new thread in the Help section - please all go and post in it so it stays near the top!
