Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I hate to say it, but the "must see" parts of NZ are mostly in the South Island...

Or am I opening up a can of worms now...

ooo Yay!! yup id say that alot of the things that would be worth seeing would be in the south island, (altho i might be biest ) i dont no if yourv ever herd of the wearable arts or not, but the home of that is in nelson, WOW (World of Wearable art) and that would diffanitly be worth seeing. Queenstown is grate too. its the main touirst spot id say. what do you think charles? it really depents on what you want to see. ill help ya if i can.

and also. iv asked my boss for time off work, and i should be able to get some off. im trying to find someone to go up with, so ill let you no. but i would really love to meet up with you guys (and anyother hoppers ) so keep me posted. i think you hve my email address

Heya Ben

Yes... south island is the place to be...!!! Just booked my flights though up to the N.Island for the NZ Juggling Festival.. how exciting

A few things to clear up... the World Busking Festival runs for 10 days.. from the 15-25th of Jan.. and is well worth a lookin if u can make it.

Firenight is Tuesday night.. still down at the Bridge of Remembrance.. starting from around 10pm onwards... numbers vary but there is usually a few people at least!

The Juggling Club is not currently running.. I know this as I am the one who will be helping to run it this year...

There are tonnes of other things to see and do in Christchurch.. well worth a visit...

Let me know when/if u make it to town and we'll go for a spin

Ciao

Start chasing dreams.... one day u may catch them..

sadly i dont think i shall be able to make it to the world busking festival so in the tradition of leaving things to the last minute we are still formulating plans but at the moment it looks like we will be arriving on the 2nd ish in the north island and then going to the festival which finishes on the 8th then heading down to the south island and staying there till the 12th ..... well so go the plan so far and we shall definately stop in at nelson and christchurch to say hello

I'll be flying into Auckland on the 11th of February, which I think is a monday, which'll give me a day to get over any jet lag before going to meet some spinny/juggly type people on the tuesday

I still havn't worked out what I'm going to be doing for the rest of the time I'm going to be in the country, but I've got three weeks, anyone have any suggestions on how to spend it?

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

go and hang out with my nana.

Hi everyone

I'm an Irish spinner (not a very good one though) currently travelling in NZ, and i was wondering, does this Tuesday night fire thing in Christchurch still happen? Because that happens to be where i am....

Any info welcome, along with any about other meets/resources/generally interesting stuff in New Zealand

If you're in Wellington on the night of the Full Moon come along to Zebos garden bar for the drumming circle. Lotsa drums, lotsa fire players from poi's sticks and the occasional breather It's just a great place to network. A few of us try and meet up regularly and have a play (we've found some great places round Wellington) depending on how busy life gets. Of course with xmas on the way it's getting kinda insane!! Still, by the time you get here Ben xmas will be long gone. Next Drumming is Saturday night, but I'll be posting them on here anyway, and any other events

I'll be in arriving in Aukland on the 25th Feb next year for the festival - hopefully performing there, but deffinately helping out a NZ group thats there, then I hope to be working with them and travelling about. Deffinately wanna do the Juggling Festy in March- do get in touch as I'd love to meet as many Kewi's as possible - especially HOP-ers

Im leaving on Tuesday for a stopover in Thailand and then down through Malaysia and Indonesia.

Getting all excited!!

- Hope to see you out on that open road

Hi Natalie How are you keeping? I'll be at the juggling convention as well, look forward to seeing you again there, as well as any other HOPpers who are going! I'll be passing through Wellington on my way up, so Wyrd Sister, i'll definately check that out. I narrowly missed the full moon when i was in Wellington before, although i wanted to catch it.

Anyway, take care all!

Yo FireNix you just walked past the window of this internet place :crazy:

My girlfriend and I arrive in Aukland on the 13th of December. We're well up for meeting as many people as possible. We should have our own wheels soonish.

Busker fest and juggly one sound like definates.

Anyone have any further details of drum circles in New Zealand or drummers I can contact?

Speak to you close to the time Ben.
