EXCELLENT!
Great to have you guys on board... what a clash though, oooher...Rainbow Serpent and the Sydney Juggling Convention! Be some sad faces about that one I think.... Rob's for a start! Does any guys have direct links for the Rainbow Serpent Festival? The best I've found searching is peeps telling each other on forums...

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?

Brettstar, I take it that's a booking!



*wonders how he could miss it.. alien abduction? Continental dislocation? Rip van Winkle syndrome?*



I have some exciting premonitions about teachers, but don't want to say too much till they're confirmed. Rob is Otherwise Engaged for another week or so, but we'll certainly let ya know asap!



Cheers
