If you want a momento of CG - remember to bring a T-shirt or something to screen print the CG logo onto! Even a piece of fabric safety pinned onto a favourite jacket (one of my persona favourite ways of using screen print stuff) looks funky in a punk / ferral kinda way. CG doesn't do merch - thanks to Gnor for DIY'ing it!

Thanks Hannah - I think there will probly be people interested in such things - I think there is someone running a macrame workshop too!
Fire wood would be good if its good wood, if its for the communal campfire - cuz we dont really want to use the pine we have on the campfire (smoky).

Why does the word macrame always make me think of macaroni?

hehe yeah me too!
Misguided Oracle, there will be 20L of D60 available on Friday Saturday and Sunday nights (thats 60 litres of D60!) for usage in the 'safe fire spinning area' (we will have a designated fire spinning space, so designated safety conscious people can be in attendance and make sure things are safe).
Obviously - no fire spinning in the camping area, and no fire breathing AT ALL, ANYWHERE, at CG.

Way cool!
btw, I understand the ban on fire breathing. how about fire eating? if it's disallowed, i won't bother packing my skewers then.
thanks!
it's soooooo close now. so excited that i forgetting that i need to pack my bags!

Will there be anywhere I can sneak off to do fire on my own at all?... I tend to feel self-concious around the peoples. I do possess my own D60 for the occasion.

its a big place.. even though there's no fire permitted in the camping area (im correct in saying this, yes?) theres plenty of space to wander off from the main crowds to suit your comfortability.. its a great crowd though, so you may well find yourself comfortable right with all the other spinners..

I hope that'll happen, pete. I'm not one that likes to be on my own, usually but a backup plan for uninhibited whirling is always prudent.
I do indeed look forward to this event... I leave for adelaide the day after tomorrow! After spending the night with relis I'll be down there nice and early that morning!
Look forward to meeting a bunch of you crazy kids... I'll be the one holding poi!

the fire circle ain't a small place.
Mother_Natures_Son, despite the casual atmosphere at CG we have to respect the limits on where we can set fire to equipment.
Getting a permit for any outdoor multi-day event in Australia is usually a big fat pain - let's do our part to not make it any harder yeah? you have glow equipment if you want to spin away from teh permitted fire zone. given the size of Sparkey's fire hoop last year, you'll get an idea of how much space u can have in the fire area

True, I have indeed got glow equip. I'll just use CG as a way to work on poi'ing around people.
I altered my handles on my fire poi... they were unusable double loops, now I've got single loops that I can actually use!

yeah open single loops are the key to technical poi throws. On sunday night i will show you the special spewmanti goon throw. no poi needed, but u might want a towel and some holy water.

I'd need people with near-native competency in Japanese and experts in Latin American culture
Someone with near-native competency in Spanish wouldn't go astray either. i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey
