Returning to a unique state of Equilibrium

IVe booked the date in, and so now we have a lovely big Hall with a Kitchen and toilet block, along with a big ass campign area and flat area to use for the weekend! sept 30, Oct 1, 2 and 3. Its in a beautiful location only 5 minutes from the closest Public Transport and Supermarket, or 25 minutes by car from the Adelaide GPO. We can arrange transport to and from the site from the Bus stop given a bit of notice.
We've also bought a big ass markee to use as a 2nd learning area if the workshops get too big to fit in the hall.
I was thinking we could also have a bit of a party on the saturday night if people were able to chip in for a PA...
so yeah - if you are interested in something or doing something else - say so!
and yes - there will be a large campfire, and a big fire spin.

Help! My personality got stuck in this signature machine and I cant get it out!
Crazypeople with flaming sticks and wild looks in their eyes couldn't keep me away. Actually, they'd be more likely to make me stay!

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?

hug me!
DeleteI never said it get's Freezing here. Fair play for laughing at me.....
Just cold.
And Ben we do get frost in Adelaide Hills, it gets well below 10 degrees in Montacute.
ALTHOUGH... given the current state of bizzareo weather it will probably be 40 degrees and thundering with chololate drops and gummie bears??
Anyway....
So how about our summers hey 40 degrees and all that... wow that's pretty hot. Don't get weather like that in Scotland do you.......
OK
Be nice to see you Flynt!! Anyone else.... c'mon....
It's going to be fun. Might rain chocolate drops and gummie bears*. That's enough reason to go as any!!
<*disclaimer - probability of chocolate drops or gummie bear rain - nil>

please.
think i could even dust off my tai ji instruction styles if anyone cared to learn some of that. i've found that having that knowledge of bodily movement has greatly enhanced my spinning ability.
please.
i would like to go.
those that know, dont say. those that say, dont know.

>I'm a huggy person too, so that works for me!
Can't wait to meet all you awesome people for the first time, Myco, Shen, so glad you are coming! And everyone else too, I want to meet you all.
Heh, got down to 7 last night (in town), so i'm guessing it'll be colder up at the site. (was 5 degrees colder up there than in town during the day yesterday).
Still things 'should' be starting to warm up again (please) by then. Here's hoping!Written by: Katinca

How cool is THAT!
Makes for one sticky event though, not to mention some funny photo's afterward
PS: Insert summer storm at this event please. They are my favourite.
