Ben, would you mind changing your first post one more time???

Valura and I are coming!!!!!!!!!

And thanks to all for the help and support (espically Josh and Kate :hugs:)... Just a few things, how far is the venue from the airport, and what are the local taxi's number.

I can't hear you... I have a banana in my ear.

Wow, it's great so many people are coming, I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Arsn, I have one Taxi number to hand; Adelaide Independent Taxi's - 132211
I know they do runs up into the hills so they are a good one to know. I'll grab a phonebook at some stage and post some more when I'm not so flat out at work.

Flame, Medusa, great to chat with you today. Can't wait to meet

bah-bee-boop-bee-beep-bah-bahp-boop!

i can be a taxi if needed, and while helping with petrol is not a necessity, it would be nice.

and i can take some form of scenic route/call past shops etc if desired

I'll second what MiG said.
I have a ute, great for carrying kero smelling kit, that also seats 5 people.

So I should be available for at least some of the time to help people and gear get around.
Just organise things beforehand and it'll be sweet

fuel will be provided but it wont be kero (well hopefully not) we will possibly have a large area marked out for spinning to stop random tents accidently burning down etc

i think we are looking at a max of $20 pp for the weekend to cover hire of facilities/fuel/pa hire/wood for bon fire/etc

that would be a lovely offer MIG, and we would offer money of course, but the thing is we have a little baby then and we need a baby capsule for the car so we may have to hire one... will have to do some investigation about wether we can hire one from the airport or something for the weekend...

oh thankies gnor! Im confuddled about all this extra stuff I will need to lug about!

TAJ "boat mummy." VALURA "yes sweetie you went on a boat, was daddy there with you?" TAJ "no, but monkey on boat" VALURA "well then sweetie, Daddy WAS there with you"

For a wee small being they seem to have sooooo much luggage!!
Virgin allows a carseat, pram, cot, high chair and baby parafinalia to count as 5kg of parents checkin luggage no matter how much they weigh!! (just checked that one then)
If you are not a co sleeper like we seem to be, a travel cot is excellent as its somewhere to pop the babe for daytime sleeps at least. Assuming you can pry the baby away from all the willing arms, cots are also good as you can put a mozzie net over them to keep out the bities out and if the baby isnt in there, its a good place to throw everything.

You can say that the 5 ft long bag is the babies sticks!! Just need to work a way for the wings to be the babies essentials.

i have some little bolts with strap-like things coming off of them in my boot, so if you know how to make them work, it's all good

Maybe work it all out after the guys know what seat they have, as seats have different attachments, but at least I know what the inside of Migs car looks like now!!

Prams are good to ferry all your stuff around in too!! Sometimes even the baby.

If/when i get around to it, i'll take some photos of all the attaching points and stuff, and post them either in here, or in my gallery for viewing pleasure

errrrrrrrrm

so, either I'm really special, or very confused, because somehow I'm on the list of people who are coming and the list of people who are Maybe coming at the same time...

Currently on the right side up of the world.

I can see this thread floating like a cork at the top of this board until October!

Questions:

echoing what someone else already said - Do we need to bring any cooking stuff or is the kitchen already equipped?

Fuel. What Gabe and Ry said - It would be great if this could be a kero-free zone, specially with so much twirling going on night after night. D60's definitely the way. If we print out the MSDS it should be fine to bring some along hopefully, but what are your supplies like there?

As for finding out how many juggling balls etc are needed, I'd say to everyone - bring every toy you have!! as much as you can fit anyway

Hey that's a good idea. How about as well as a list of ppl coming, everyone posting what toys they do have and what they're bringing?

And put me down for possibly coming! Probably won't know for about another month. V. excited if I can though

we went up to the site today and its really beautiful, we have decided to cap the number of people to 200 so that it doesnt strain the resources. we have started looking into organising catering.

we are also going to presell tickets so that we can provide the caterers with more accurate estimates, we will be pre selling tickets up to the 1st of september at $20 pp and after that at $30 pp for the weekend (this is not including food). more details to follow soon.

also we will try and find a local source of d60

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?
