UberOz3



Yes! That fabulous long weekend of skillz injektion, creative SHAZZAM and and more !!! Here's the word:



Dates

Thurs 28th-Sun 31st August, with workshops starting on Friday night. (yep I know that weekend is a bit awkward for some Uni students and clashes with Burning Man.. but it fits for other local events and also my birthday!)



Venue

Same as previous 2 events.. Hillbrook Anglican School Recreation Centre, Enoggera, Brisbane, with a Saturday night party at mine. (Did I mention it's my birthday?;)



International Teachers:

YUTA!!! Returning for the second dose of ultra ninja poi stylin



MCP: hardcore precision staff grrrl



Sebastian Berger (Fenfire)... triple staff passes and the best boyskirt in the bizness



plus MAJOR local heroes including Brettstar, Kyle McLean, Chris Carlos, Christian Parr, Alice Robinson and MORE to be confirmed.



As well as Ubercore poi and staff, we will also include juggling, devil sticks, contact juggling etc from our Uberteachers and skillshare from participants.



Cost

$ AUD 125 prepaid

and

$ 50,000 at the door (we want you to pre reg...)



with a limited number of discounted tix @ $60 for under 16s.



That includes up to 15 Uber workshops and group sessions fuel, accommodation and our famous yummy lunches



Accommodation

Onsite camping space is included in the price ( you need to bring your own gear, though there are facilities like toilet/water/tiny kitchen) For non-campers we can usually find local billets or recommend backpackers.





Bookings

PM me with your email address and I will send you a rego form directly. OR find one posted with lots of background info at the lovely UberEvents site







NB: these are NOT beginner's workshops. Reasonable skills are needed to take advantage of the quality of workshops on offer.

hey gabe and hey friends - had a super revelation the other night when i was trying to sleep but couldnt because i was thinking about circus.. im not sure if you were organising t-shirts this year? but would be happy to get some made up and organise it and all with your approval of the designs dear.
could probably sell them for about $20ish (maybe cheaper depending on how many i get made)

they would have UberOz 3, or Ub3r 2008 Brisbane etc.. i have a few ideas for funny spinner shirts;

FREE HUGGIES

IN CASE OF FIRE - CONTACT STAFF IMMEDIATELY

and another one which is a parody of ipod but might be tricky to make.

what do you think?

'FREE HUGGIES!!'

I'll PM you, Ciara

Meanwhile I just did the sums.. there are 12 spots left!



And 5 went on the weekend... so if you've got mates who reeeeeaaaaallllly want to come but they just sorta didn't let me know yet

*light small fire under bum*



Cheers!

paul took his fire staffs to cg last year...in a fishing rod container...which the airline took to be fishing rods & they just did the explosive test & it was all good! last time i flew with fire gear (poi) i just aired them for a few days before flying, put them in a plastic bag, then into a sealed plastic container...all good!

one of the carriers...i think it's virgin? (could be wrong - it may be jetstar) specifies no fire sticks unless the wick is removed...they say nothing about poi or other toys...muhahaha!

do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!

if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!

smile! it confuses people!

Terrible, terrible news everyone, it was much cheaper to come up on Wednesday instead of Thursday or Friday. Is it possible for me to tent in someones backyard for a night, or is there a cheap hostel around?



Well closer to the time I will be seeking out billets with locals for people who need them (staying on someone's couch etc).. otherwise ya theres heaps of hostel in Brissy, it's a backpacker destination. All sortable.

Gabe's right, it's all in the wording. They ask if you are carrying *dangerous or flammable goods*. The answer is no.



Put staffs in with your tent poles if you are paranoid about the x-ray.



I had my pixie sticks re-wicked before Common Ground and put them in my tent bag. Luckily they're small so they could fit.



Flying back, I had burnt wicks. I just gave them a jolly good wash with detergent and warm water, spun them out to dry in the sun, and wrapped the ends in glad-wrap.



Try adding bicarbonate of soda to the wicks before cling-wrapping them. It absorbs odour.



Luckily, at CG or any other aussie event, you should be spinning with D60 which has less odour anyway.



Oh, and if you're stopped for a *randomly selected search and scan*, or even while checking in at the desk, don't be tricked by small chit-chat...



e.g.



Authority Personnel: "So what you going to Adelaide for? Just catching up with friends?"



You: the answer is "Yes."



The answer is NOT "yeah, I'm going to a fire-spinning festival! Can't wait! Looking forward to pulling off the matrix withOUT BURNING MYSELF THIS TIME"

you forgot i was going?




mmmmmmmmmm, petrol bombs
I've never had problems with gear on planes - been on about 30 international flights with collapsible staffs... but mine were allways washed & cleaned before taking them on a plane. Plus a note describing what they were & they've been 'chemically treated to remove all traces of fuel residue." never dewicked though. I hear it's a good idea though due to airlines making up new rules.

YOU HAVE A DOZEN Fei Cha�s in your garage!!??&&%%




Ya I do; (along with about 45 diabolo and 60 sets of devil sticks that I can't use either!) But they are not traditional Chinese made sharp metal bladed ones... they were made by a local teacher for workshops/practice at Woodford Circadia last year.. nice heavy sticks, but the weighted 'blade' crosspiece that gives it the rotational movement is heavy rubber and well wrapped tape... the prototype was made Aussie style from a rubber thong I believe (footwear, flip flops, not kinky sex garment) Priscilla Queen of the Feicha.

So no point to buy one of them. You could make one like it eaasily.
