I Would also love to go but I am unable to afford membership. If I could I would definatley get £30 This hasnt exactly been the best week for me someone stole all my equipment yesterday and I cannot afford to replace. Now I am missing out Big Time. Yes I am a completely Blind Fire Performer.
I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

Once again, this falls on the weekend I'm coming home from Uni...
I can't make it.
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.

seeing as half our lot will be MIA at Torture Garden this weekend
help for the fireshow will be more than welcome. from what will tells me, the main body of the show is going to be worked out by all those willing to take part (a la bristol) with help from a professional choreographer (madame solsha i think?) who is doing a workshop on saturday. we're hopefully gonna have 3 routines ready by sat night and will be sorting out how they might link in with everything else on the night... sandy mate, if i had time i'd love to do a singles routine with you but i have a feeling struz an i are gonna be flat out getting our doubles one finished in under a week! (in true proffesional spirit i still need to build a new set of staffs after leaving the old ones on the train) i'm sure there will be lods of other people up for working something out though so it should be fun whatever happens...

Yeah you could do that
... or you could take a leaf out of Sandy's book and try and see if you can contribute something. The Firegathering isn't a commercial entity, it's done for the love of it. The fees all go into what it costs to put an event on like this, none of the organisers go away with money in their pocket. Carpal \'Tunnel
