hello hello
It's been an awfully long time so I'm entirely unsure how many of you will remember me, but hey, it's me, xaeda.....I'm alive and reasonably well. All rumours of me being abducted by aliens can be officially quashed (that is, if anyone bothered to start any )
Anyways, I'm afraid I'm not back as a regular poster.....mostly because my life has become fairly hectic and I can't really spare the arse-on-seat time needed to contribute regularly (I'm sure I posted something about this a while ago). But I thought I'd pop in and say hello, and also attempt to track down some Australians to harrass, since I'm heading over there in early november.
I'll probably be there for about a month, maybe longer if I find work. I'm mostly going there to visit a close friend, and our time will be split kinda haphazardly between Brisbane and Sydney. At some point we'll also be taking a meandering roadtrip along an inland route between the two....probably thru cunnamulla, bourke, dubbo, forbes, and a bunch of other places I can't quite remember.
Soooo......if you know of any fire get-togethers happening in Brisbane or Sydney, or if you live somewhere in the middle of nowhere and want another human to have a burn with, let me know :-) I already know about the Red Moonfest, which I'll try to get along to, but I haven't been able to track down details for whatever other meetings are happening. Is Incendium still running weekly burns? Let me know if you know of anything going on. my email is jacinta@graffiti.net
Anyways, I'd better be off, my belly is grumbling and computer labs make me grumpy. Hope all is well in the land of pyromaniacs, and hopefully I'll get to meet some of you aussies in the nearish future.
seeya!

hello.... yes please come and play fire with us when you are in Brisbane...*
*Red* Moon Fest is on tomorrow night (21st October) but then the next one is on 20th november (which is "Orange" - we're working our way through the colours of the rainbow each month...)
and then Yellow is Fri 20th Dec if you're still here...
Valura gave a wonderful run down of the weekly gatherings (and hugs for the lovely things you siad too) ... there are a few other weekly get togethers around too - on Tuesday nights there is a drum circle at Sandgate... we sometimes pop in for a twirl there, and then another Drum Circle in the city on Thursday nights at Roma Street Parklands usually attracts a few spinners too (although no fire allowed there)...
and no doubt there will be countless other special events/festivals on during November too... so stay in touch, particulaly when you arrive and know the dates you'll be in Brissie...*

wooh, yay, so much to do!
I will most definitely try to get along to as many of these as possible. I'll have to get a new simcard for my mobile once I get to oz (roaming is a bitch on vodafone) so I'll let you all know my new mobile number as soon as I know it myself :-)
very rough dates probably something like this:
13th - 15th Nov - Brissy
16th - 19th - Sydney (but mostly tied up with other-peoples-crazy-family type stuff I think)
20th Nov - 2nd Dec - Brissy
2nd - 7th - out in the middle of nowhere trying not to get eaten by kangaroos
7th - 11th - Sydney
My ticket is booked to go home after that, but I may stick around if I find work (the aussie dollar converts pretty damn well to our poor old nz peso). Maybe I'll head off fruit picking or something, or else find a job in a photolab. Depends how well I'm coping with the summer heat, heh. Tis a pity I won't be around for the juggling festival You never know, adren@line.....I might end up in Tasmania. At least it won't be so fiendishly hot.....
Cassandra - assuming I'm back in NZ by then of course I'd love to meet up There is indeed a juggling festival but I'm afraid you may be a bit early for it - it's in Waihi Beach (not far from Tauranga) from March 6th - 9th. Do try and make it if you can, it should be fantastic (and of course since you've travelled from yonder far away lands you'll get big hugs from everyone) Check out the nzja page - there's not a whole lot of info but it has a picture of the holiday park that's hosting us. Basically the juggling festivals are wonderfully mellow....bring a tent, hang out in the sun, meet some wonderful people and play lots There's generally a renegade show (like a drunken jugglers' show&tell) and a public show, a bunch of workshops, some silly games, and a fire night, assuming there isn't a fire ban like last time. Lotsa fun :-) I hope you're able to come. Anyways, email me closer to the time and I'll give you more info about people to contact etc.
Anyways, thankyou all for the wonderful info and the smileyness. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey Xaeda. Nice to see you back. Have you forgiven me yet for suggesting that you're scared of the dark (hence all your vids being filmed in the day time)?
Or should i go hide in the rain barrel again?

hey xaeda - Would be ultra cool to meet you finally!
Me, Frenzie, Dangerboy and maybe Finn would love to capture you and take you on a crazy adventure whilst you're here.
Email me at work sarah_mctaggart@bmcmedia.com
We haven't had weekly gatherings for a while, but we might all head down to the Glebe gathering on a Thursday night....

Although i have not been for a few weeks, there are still regular Thursday night burns at Jubilee park, at thebottom of Glebe Point rd in Glebe ( Sydney), hosted in part by FireArtFantics...
It is regular as clockwork, come at about 9pm to avoid waiting around for arrivals!
See you there!

hey xaeda - i don't get teh chance to communicate with ya, so i'll say that i kook up to ya as a staff deity - such rare originality! I can only imagine what your repertiore looks like today
have you heard of the total solar eclipse festival in the Oz outback during early december? Psytrance bands(incl. X-dream), An absolute army of bushdoof feinds, hapless globetrotters and not least of all a battalion of amazing firetwirlers are flyiing, driving, hitching and bussing to. It will be the most incredible concentration of Oz fire skill in one place!
I can help with arranging travel if you can make it to Melb (there are so many convoys to join!) before this major shindig explodeth.
a helluva lot more people at HoP these days hey?your help at HoP has been missed!
(plus labs aren't that bad - geeks are fun people too, just in a different way - I should know)
:wonders if he's said too much...:

Did Xaeda ever actually come back from her travels or is she still out there someplace?
She's certainly not posted in a very long time.....
I only ask as she's currently Member of the Moment
But not for long. Fame is fleeting after all.

Long time no me too
I'm currently IN Australia, in Newcastle (btw Sydney and Brisbane) but will be long gone by the time you get here (which is a shame, as I would have loved to meet you!).
Ah well, I may check out your Brisbane contacts for you and let you know how things go!
So, (sorry to steal a little of your thunder Xaeda) if anyone is around Newcastle (or North of there on the East coast) and fancies meeting up for a cheeky burn in the next few weeks, drop me a line at rachelslack@hotmail.com.

P.S. Have a fantastic time over here, X. I don't even need to say it as I'm sure you will! I never want to go home...
