Hey there everyone,
Well, now that I'm close to post number 300 I thought I'd do an intro thread... it seems like I'll be hanging around for a while now
Edit:
Yep, this is all changed cos I'm not feeling as sentimental as I was when I wrote the last intro.
I'm 28, live outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, run the fire performance group FirePoise (www.firepoise.com), like to travel and good music.
My myspace page is www.myspace.com/clarepalmer
Take care
bye

Ok lads,
If you've got a spare second today... please send lots of positive thoughts to Belfast.
I've organised a fire gig here tonight for all the event companies, pub owners, employer-types in an effort to get some work...
With any luck, the positive thinking will send the clouds and rain away
(and make me feel better, cos I'm really nervous... You know, if ever there was a time for things to go wrong, it would be tonight)
*deep breath*
See you later xx

Honey, You don't need good luck!! you simply ooze fantastic ability all the time anyway!! And if you wiggle while spinning, you'll have to get a mop and bucket for all the drool coming from the audience!!
(but just in case it helps) Good luck!!
Take care! See you soon!!

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

Lol.
Thanks lads... it worked
All that positive thinking chased the clouds and rain away and we ended up with a clear sky at sunset!!
About 30 people said they would come - 12 showed up, which is ok, I suppose. But in those 12 were people from the biggest event management companies in Belfast, which is great
So they all seemed impressed.
Dave Hoy drummed for us - he's a great djembe player and really knows how to play for a dancer, and we had cd's playing for some of the dances too.
We had a small cd-skipping problem, but Colleen covered it well.
So, yes. I'm happy with how it went.
Then, afterwards, we went back to a rather dodgy little pub that I don't normally go to where Dave's band was playing. And oh my god.
It was like this little hidden room of talent. Practically everyone in the audience (20 people) were there to play, and they gave it everything.
Dave's band was splendid. The lead singer, a lady in her late 20s, had this deep, loud, gravelly voice which just exploded out of her.
Then a group of middle-aged men played - and a random american started playing a washboard for percussion - he was great
So yes, a really good night indeed.
Hope you're all well

Sorrys... I call all my friends 'lads', irrespective of their gender.
I probably shouldn't... I'm sure I used to have a wider vocabulary
And nope Mr Cantus... it is not a euphemism... it is, in fact, one of these:
Non-Https Image Link
Anyways... muh. Had a stressful evening.
We're booked to do a gig in one club, and got another gig in a different club tonight.
A manager in the first venue told a manager in the second venue that we were charging half our fee. The second manager freaked out and thought we were trying to rip him off.
Even though the correct fee has already been agreed with the owners of both places and is clear and in writing.
Much confusion and phone calls ensued.
Sorted now, but dammit.
Sigh. Am going to bed...
Good night xxx

thank you Clare. I did in fact know what a washboard is. I was attempting to make a cheap joke centred around the use of the word thingy. A word I felt was superfluous from the statement of requested ownership....
nevermind. Wordplay was never my strong point.

erm you've gone to bed. you said goodnight here and in the last email you sent me. Therefore it must be true.
In other news, I got bitted by a horsefly yesterday and now it's itching (the bite not the horsefly. I have no idea how he's feeling. But much of me hopes he is suffering in some way).

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.
