Well I had a chat with Bluecat tonight and it seems Nick Woolsey *Meenik* is confirmed and coming...YAY I am soooo happy about that! biggrin clap biggrin

SO now we're going to get some flyers done in the next few days... anyone like some mailed to them to put in backpackers/local meets/shops etc? Or emailed? Otherwise I am planning they can be put up on the www.uberoz.net website as a .pdf and peeps can download/print them for their fridge or wherever!

Thanks to those lovely ones who have been sending their earlybirdies in... we are gathering up to the 'earlybird' cut off #, so if you know you have a mate coming, let them know to let me know.... it's not much of a price difference, but sometimes every little bit helps, eh....

Hey Ry welcome to the thread!! Where ya been!

Oooh pixielack, I know, shocking isn't it!!!! Many tears have been shed! They have more or less promised to crash the partay though so not all is lost hug




Hey Gabe.. yeah sorry I'm not getting more into this than I know I should be. Just a couple things up in the air at the moment, and I'm not sure what's going on. Not sure whether I can put my name down for uberoz, but I do want to go. I'll let you know, but probably quite late. Soz.. hug

Hey that's OK Ry, I know this is a busy time for you and end of uni and all that. Thanks for the hug though and hug back at ya! I've been delightedly distracted with Woodford stuff the last few days... I know that once we hit the ground running there, with TePOOKa andprobalby hundreds playing in a grand central space, UberOz will fly along as the cherry on the cake!

(Yeah, I know, I should learn to juggle and leave the metaphors alone!)

so we can buy fuel at UberOz instead of lugging it along? That sounds great. Muchly better. wink I haven't used d60 before.

Aha, you've been checking out the website! good on ya girl! Yeah I figure it's easy peasy to have some fuel available there rather than peeps have to mess around getting little bits... and so we don't have stinky kero anywhere wink

Heya... just a quick thought for anyone thinking of flying and concerned about getting firetoys on the plane... these guys chuck it on a Greyhound bus and freight it over a couple of days for cheap.

Easier than stressin' at the airport cool

Hey Knoxious, that link doesn't seem to work...

there are [Old link]
about this topic though.. taking gear on planes seems to be more a problem in anticipation than reality.. I've never known anyone to actually have trouble... mailing is possible too though if someone is worried, I'm quite happy to have a few parcels turn up at my address smile if necessary

Didn't we start about 9am at Uberpoi? But don't worry, you'll be so keen by what you seen on Friday afternoon that on Saturday you'll turn up early, stay up all night and be there for whenever we pull together enough energy to start on Sunday.
And as it's hot in Oz starting earlier means it's cooler and I can sweat less. Thank you!

Still got to put together workshops! Too many ideas to fit in!
