Hope to make it to the convention and also hope to have a place to stay either side...

The flights are much more expensive on the friday and sunday...

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to have been away - that long - from the thread, but I've been very busy these days !!



Firstly,

I'll find a place to accomodate everyone's coming, as said in the first post

I defenetly won't be able to accomodate everyone in my small parisian flat, but I've started a thread on the french firespinning forum about this (already got some proposals), the association members will surely help me, and I also have non-jugglers friends !!

Therefore, BOOK your tickets .. we'll handle the rest



Any hand given is more than welcome



I'd like us to make a list of who's coming for how long, so that I can handle accomodation more easily



Irish:

Fear-Tine, 26 -28th of May

Ronan & maiuki, 24 -30 th of May

Flip, Ado-p & Amélie, 24 -30 th of May

FurryPurple,



Brits

Lavatwilight

Strugz,

T&B,

Garthy,

M-O-M

Simian, Ucof & Brovil Monkey: 26 - 29 th of May

Flaming Deity

FireNix & viv??



Germans

321Lupo, 27 th - 29th

Someone (Austria), 27th - 30th

Rodo, 25th - 28th

Olivier & Doro (AlphaLight project), cadena, & saskia, date missing ??

Ma'tina ??

Archana & Samarpan (poidance.de), 26th till 31st of May ??

Andy ??

and some more (to be cross-checked with the german-forum thread)

Same for the Italians



Finns (RHD):

Tommi, 22/05 - 28/05

Antti, 22/05 - 05/06



US

Tiger-balm Dan, 20/04 - 20/06 ??



canada

Jenn la maniaque



Anyone 's willing to do some shows can directly apply to me via PM Unfortunately our paid-shows budget is now fully allocated !! But if you have a decent show that you wanna do daytime (not during the open-stage), busking in the parc is possible.

There is no fireshow planned so far ! the parc is closing at 9pm & dusk is about 10:30 pm No indoor fireshow possible

But we'll find a solution, maybe a firenight on friday eve !



Rob (Firenix)> I would love you & viv to come & play at the convention. PM on its way



Matthew B-M> How can it be free?

We are funded by the Paris townhall (very little funding), and our policy has allways been to make everything for free, so that everyone benefits from it.

We are not raising any money from entrance fees, this implies that we usually can't afford expensive juggling shows, many shows are only paid by travel expenses, & many artists are doing it for free !

We are making the convention in a parc, which is gently let to us for free by the townhall. This means that it's not a closed area for jugglers only: anyone passing by can get in, which has its advantages & disadvantages (whatch out your belongings )

The night shows & open-stage is done in an artistic squat, therefore for free

Everything in the association is based on volunteering

Hope to have covered your question

Olive,

Yep, we've arranged a place to stay at a friend of amelies in the city centre. Near Montematre. I think. We havent told them yet. But thats their own fault for being friends with jugglers.

In that case, can one of you let me know when you're booking them for?
We might as well head over at the same time.

Olive - somewhere for me to sleep would be fantastic as well

sunday's activities are closing with the parc, around 9pm ..
and unofficially probably later

Posted: 7th Apr 2006
unfortunatly..
The monkies and I are 99% not going now.

The tickets are too expensive, both flying and train.
Sorry guys... we will let you know if we decide otherwise.

We hope you have a fantastic time
