The Palace



I first played with poi on the roof of that hostel



And there's lots near it...





Which city? Sydney? Brisbane? There are lots of backpackers called the Palace. SOme of them used the be run by the Salvation Army for poor working travelling locals... then they were called the *People's Palace.*

Cheers!





That would be very cool. I will email you a flyer to copy a few of, or else mail you some... PM me your contact details.

Hahahhahaah.
And to think I spent four months living there and avoided the bar for most of it...

Puh. What a wasted opportunity.

(and I never thought I'd say that about the Down Under bar )

Getting to the other side

Never hold your farts in! They travel up your spine, go into your brain and that's where shitty idea's come from.

hi guys just a little hello to see how you all are and im just wondering how often the fire meets are in brissie and where abouts they are



Well, here's one on the SUnshine Coast (a lot closer than Byron Bay, which is about 2.5 hours away)
and the main one is of course MoonFest! .
For a great meetup that doesn't involve fire, the regular is
Monday Night at the Piazza.

That should about cover it.. apart from Thursdays at the Kangaroo Pt Cliffs...with the Carnivilians


Yep. Feel like I've posted these every few minutes lately

.....Can't juggle balls but I sure as hell can juggle details....

but you're so good at it gabe!!

speaking of .:*moonfest*:. are you coming tomorrow??????
