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?

Yeah, as I wrote that question, I even contemplated just typing it into google, but thought to myself: "Hey, it's more fun just to ask" lol. I did check them out through google though, I'm assuming they're the group of artists/designers who sell really, really cool stuff. I've been looking at their art for a while now, I'm very impressed, hopefully they're there so I can buy some things off of them.

make sure u cushion underneath the ring with padding. people get tempted to body slam when jelly is involved.
looks like this CG will have more opportunities than ever for a dignity-free weekend!

jetstar sucks!!
they went & changed my flight to common ground!! now instead of arriving at around 9am - i won't even leave brisbane until after 12!! 
grr! i just called them & they did say they can change the flight for me...or i can get a refund! i'm thinking i'll have a look at the other carriers & see if they can help me with a flight around the time of my original flight (& hopefully for cheap!) & then get a refund from jetstar!!!

Not to get all political but I try and abstain from Jetstar for the above reasons, and also for the fact that they have the juggernaut that is Qantas behind them. I try and make my flights Virgin and (in some cases) Tiger. If it weren't for Virgin we'd still be paying hundreds of dollars more for domestic flights in aus.
Hope you are able to find a nice workaround 
Also, will there be DJ workshopness at CG this year? I would be keen on trying my hand at putting a set together but have no idea how

Hate to seem like a downer on the jelly wrestling kids but it isn't very good for the environment. Sure they will claim it is safe but you are dealing with polymers here. Plus it is mega drying on the skin! (we did jelly wrestling at a market as a fund raiser for the local CFS and found all this stuff out the hard way) I highly recommend finding out what the stuff is made of EXACTLY before buying.
Here is a link to some info that backs me up. They are talking about water saving crystals but its made of the same stuff.

or could we just accept that a whole bunch of people are flying to a firetwirling festival - and just accept that jelly isnt the most damaging of our activities for the weekend?
alternatively - does anyone know a supplier of carbon neutral jelly?
