Do you know how depressing it was to read about everyone packing and heading off while I was sitting at work?
Hoping to make it up on the weekend to join in the merriment!!

If there is anyone left in London that is still going down Friday or Sat, please pretty please let me know if you have space for one more... I'm thinking of trying to get trains down etc, but as I have only been in the UK for 24 hours, its all v. confusing and the jet lag is not helping!! Anyways, PM me if you have a space
*hugs*

What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!

Hello Eve!

I am thinking of going up Saturday and back Sunday, (just bought a car) I'll PM you my number. I was going to cancel it because I don't want to drive up by myself.

Agreed.... *goes off to get more coffee* although my bed was very very nice last night, even if the matress has gone and feels remarkably like the field

My lovely poi queen and I had a fantastic time. I learnt nun chucks and had a boogie in the sun with assorted wigglers. see you next year.
However, the music policy was atrocious and whoever let the prog rock heavy metal band play on saturday needs a seroius talking to. Instead of everyone being able to dance and poi together in the tent the band killed the atmosphere and went on for ages. Enough with the dragging out the end of songs forever! More dance music please.

Capitalism kills. Kill capitalism.

Thats where the difference in opinions comes into play.... I HATE dance music for example and thought sat nights band rocked....and if i remember rightly they were begged to stay on stage

chill enjoy the fact that Play was as ever wicked... and that every one enjoyed themsleves no matter what music tatses they had.

is it next year yet?

thank you dunc and all the crew for such an amazing festival it was the best place i hav ever been it was so good and i met lodes of brill people (even dunc himself) it made me cry when i had to go home so again thank you for making it realy good and hopefully i will come next year

people say im strange im not im just wierd

Posted: 26th Jun 2006
ahhh, right:

Immense thanks to Dunc for all the organisation and generally being really cool. (Not that I wanted to be there, jesus, I'm glad I left ) It was abrilliant festival and you should feel proud. You've started something that I hope will never stop.

Thanks to gayle for her excellent dancin' workshop, it was too much fun. And it was great to see gayle and loads of other people gettin' their groove on! Chest chest, wiggle wiggle... Can't wait to see you spin to cheesy music sometime gayle, that'll be worth the wait...

Thanks to Kat and Stuart for driving me down. I was quite quiet on the way down, was feeling like I wasn't going to be at play long enough, which I wasn't...

And thanks to johnny UCOF and bovril and simian for letting me camp in their tent, with my generally underprepared self... Special thanks for the bed roll! immense... I did some accidental spider removal from your tent with my hair too...

Simian: Yeah! Had a great time making up weird new [censored] and silly stuff. Thou, doubles spinning is in NO way comparable to single staff spinning... It's good to hang with you again, it's like we're kindred spirits when it comes to doubles sometimes. Is cool. Mike from london, learned a hella lot about balancing from him... is there anything he doesn't know? Say thanks to him for me Mr Monkey?

Mincey: Nice pout dude! And super sweet hands in pocket jesus. I like.

Strugz: Thanks for nothing you giant stoner. Didn't see much of you this festival, other than some illicit fire spinning when nobody was watching in the middle of the night. Yeah, I can tell it was you even from by the big top. You need more playtime, next time...

Sandy, T&B, Meast: Contact staff ROCKS! I love it all. You make me want to learn the matrix properly now. The prayer variations are super sweet.

Drew:

Julian:

Mr Chutney: I seem to randomly have chats with people about things, and you were pulled out of the hat for the 'opera' chat. I'm going to have to bone up on my knowledge next time, or just bring a copy of fellini along...

Andrea: I'm going to get you to teach me to dance at some point when I have more time at a festival... ARGH!

LTC + Vixen = get a room.

Lazy: Nice spinning inbetween the grunting like a female tennis player! Thanks for being such a good sport, heckling wouldn't be nearly as much fun with out you.

And thanks to Ryan for compereing so well, I can't remember if he got a clap at the end, due to all the excitement, so I'm going to ask drew to thank him again.

And special thanks to the tech group for all the performances and those stuck on the door helping out. you guys rock. Well done!

Brilliant time!

Definately should have been there for longer - missed the world record attempt

Big thank-yous to all the organisers and all the people who did all the important jobs such as keeping the toilets clean.

Can I ask a little favour: does anyone have any good photos of the Carpe Ignem piece on Saturday night? Only we were too busy trying to ensure that we didn't set fire to the big top with our play symbol to think about photos. And I don't have any of me in the costume yet (having only got it last Thursday) and I promised I'd send a couple to my mum. If you have any please email them to me at blackdove (at) vodafone (dot) net. Also could you indicate whether you would mind me putting them forward to be on the website if they may be appropriate. thank-you

Righty Ho!

Dunc and Crew, huge thanks guys, that was an amazing weekend! It takes some very special folks to get something like that together. You're all ace!

Everyone else (totally ducking out from trying to remember names!)... Much love...

It was weird to be sat in a sterile service station and realise how much cleaner it was in a field full of unwashed smelly hippies. I'm really going to miss the purity of heart that is so overwhelming amongst you all.

See again soon.

BRILLIANT FESTIVAL! Thanks for all your hard work Duncan, and that of all the volunteers. Can't possibly decide what my fav thing was.. it's a close run thing between having a go on the trapeeze, Neil with his hair on fire, Rob with his head between a lovely German lady's legs or the whole dam thing... yeah reckon the whole dam thing wins! Great to make some new friends and learn some new stuff.
THANK YOU!

Have fun Debs

Totally gutted I couldn\'t go....




Glad everyone had a total blast though.

Mmm.... great festie

Thanks everyone for being there and making it what it was (a fantastic weekend). Was good to see old friends, and make new friends.

Oh yeah and, who pegged me Sunday night/Monday morning, with the tag attached? I asked around who i suspected and no one has claimed responsibility? Anyway, that was some great pegging!! Kudos!

Um yeah.... maybe write more when i'm alive?

Super Awesome fantastic weekend.


Although I lent my poi to a girl on saturday night. I never got them back and the next morning they where spotted by a dear friend wrapped around the bars at the top, on the inside of the big tent.

However did it - thanks.
Meant I had to fork out money for a pair of (lovely) hyperloop poi.

Apart from that it was a fantastic weekend.
I managed to get the whole 'mashed but moving' combination going, where as falmouth it was just...'mashed'..
I learnt loads, taught loads, and am very greatful for the people who have given me their time, and I apologise to whoever I taught for my rubbish teaching skills!

Love and hugs to all and I hope to see you all very soon

Phoar.

What an absolutely brilliant weekend. There wasn't a better way to celebrate getting my results - on Friday morning I got a phone call letting me know that I got a 2:1 on my degree Thanks to everybody for the congratulatory hugs.

I don't like writing lists of names because I worry that I'd forget someone and they'd feel left out, so, errr, thanks to everyone I spoke to, blagged beerandspliffsandfood off, learned stuff off, etc. I went to some really awesome workshops this weekend, well done to the people who ran them!

Where to start... Best Festival Ever.

Had a totally awesome time, learnt so much new stuff and met soo many people.

Thanks to all the crew for putting it together and thanks for the opportunity to be part of it as well. Even tho my small amout of working came nowhere close to those of you worked solid the entire time and then some.

*waves and hugs* to all the people I met. Always great to meet new people. Anyway, off for a shower (yay!).

Could somebody stop the room please... I'd like to get off

Posted: 26th Jun 2006
