Hopefully this time you can get your own soundsystem organised along with wet towels and extinguishers.
Last time our group provided all three.
Also maybe some judge's with spinning experience for full appreciation of technicality would be handy, especially for the ninja section.
Good luck with the event!

Oh oh.... also you might also want to consider a ban on firebreathing this time after the excessiveness of some groups trying to keep up with the first few acts.
Gets the grass very slippery and is not something you want to encourage in the public. Simple accident could put a big dampener on the event.
I remember Ruben was stuck with a mouth full of fuel for a full minute at the start of his act while a faulty music cue was reset. not tasty.
And for anyone checking out the footage of our performance on the threeworlds site please keep in mind we had been partying the whole day/night before (nimbin mardigrass) and had slept through our second rehearsal, hence the disorder. ( i know, excuses excuses

We put these things on for fun. Not to get all serious. I admit that we are highly unorganised at times, but hey i don't see anyone else putting these things on, so someone had to do it. We run on faith and good will, and thing come together most of the time.
So for all the people that just love twirling and having fun, this is for you.
We are not focusing on the win lose thing, but more on the spirit of it. Getting together doing shows for people. Inspiring people!!
Last year the judging was done by, from memory 8 people, and more than half of them were twirlers. This year will be no different.
Pyroptix, we fully appreciate the sound last time. And your show was awesome, and i think i would have chose you as the winners, but the winning act was so different and beautiful too. (2 points difference!!so it was really close) So really creativity is hard to rate. Everyone was awesome.
The sound is sorted this time round, and we are having big screen feeds on the outdoor film screens. (part of the Gold Coast Film Festival)
I think for anyone going in this one, we would like to encourage a light spirit and less focus on winning. Only one team can win, but everyone who has a go is deserving of acknowledgement and respect.
Also like to add that ANYONE who wants to have a go should.
Last year there were heaps of people a bit intimidated by the whole COMP idea. We have a grasshoppers section this time, and really encourage people to have a go!! Hope to see ya there!!!
Thanks

P.S. Yeah no fire breathing!!!

Hey sorry i didn't mean to come across so full on. really
It's great that you've taken the time and effort to organise something fun for both the community of fire spinners and the public to share.
I really did enjoy coming up last time, Its a pity i cant make it this year. I hope it goes really well and I'm sure fun will be had by all. Am glad about the breathing restrictions.
I hate when i sound too serious on forums

Yeah we are being a lot more on it about the safety this time all ways round. There will be fuelling and extinguishing zones, and safety will be a consideration in the judging aspect. Fire-breathing = disqualification as far as I recall from my last discussion with the lovely ThreeWorlds lads.
It's not at Burleigh this time either, but at Currumbin, so the whole vibe should be cosy and sweet...

Damn shame i can't make it up there for that.
Matt and amanda, you are both in my dvd. Perhaps i could enter the UberOz video as an entry for the show??? It's pretty badass, especially on a big screen. PM me a mailing address and i'll send your copy up to you.

Hey looking forward to it! Sounds like it's going to be great.
Is there a ninja lineup yet?
and is it all groups (as opposed to individuals?)
Sounds like it's going to be fun

The entries are still coming in. We are going for groups again.
Individual fire twirling is cool, but i personally love watch people working together. Last time was the same. Two or more people a must. We didn't actually state it this time around but so far we only have group which is cool.
The line up is yet to be finalized and i imagine it will be finalized about 6:30 on the night
Hope the weather is ok, we don't have a rain plan, apart from postponing it. It's all outside of course and there is no cover... Fingers Crossed...

The criteria for judging will be:
Technical skills
Group work
not necessarily choreography.. could be contact, character, story telling... but more put into it than just a few people freestyling eh)
Audience response
so we want all you folk watching to whoop it up if you like something!
Safety:
if you light something, you are responsible for putting it out. No Fire Breathing. Other than that the usual stuff... not too close to people, no fuelspray etc

Love to all the people up there. I will come up soon to see everyone. And put me down for a copy of the DVD!
Peace.

The radar is looking mostly fine on the 128 and 256 k loops as at 4:45PM Su 17/9/06. Is this still on tonight or has the earlier rain today postponed it? I need to know within 30min as I might come down . Thanks

Well, it was on. After seeing the forecast two days ago for thunderstorms in the late afternoon/evening, i was doubtful!!!
But i saw stars in the sky as we stood around in a big circle at the end of the event, gazing upwards, breathing a little.
So there was a great line up of acts. Probably not as many as we would have liked, but given the short notice it was great!! The grasshoppers were cool. Really good to see the young kids having ago, and they were really impressive!! (surprised by the skill levels)
The first prize was taken out by Gold Coaster, Steve and Dan from (everywhere) and Cairns lately, but now in brisbane. .. . and Chinta, one of the Grasshoppers.
Their show was awesome!!! Very dynamic and fluid. Their name LiquaFusion. Man they have it down!!!
All the acts were different. Some saucy, some sacred and another way out and fun!.
So i hope to get some video on the site over the next few weeks. www.threeworlds.com.au
So Big Thanks to all that helped make it happen!!! Matt and Suzy and Gabe, Rick, and Jed from "in The Bin". and everyone else.
There was a good crowd too by the way. I think there would have been a few hundred at least.
We did hardly any marketing, and next year we will pull together a much better show. Jed from "In the Bin" was talking about next year already, and how he wants it a bit more organised which is understandable. There was huge disorganisation with the music. People with mp3 players, laptops, cds, and not all of them were working. Pretty hard for Jed, who still did an awesome job pulling it all together.
So if Jed is up for another year we can have a lot more time to prep and let people know when it's on etc. (same time next year!!!) Now that is enough notice
Last night i just felt how big this could get, and how cool it is going to become!!! So lets look forward to next year with hopes for more acts and a big push for development of this art form into a more widely appreciated art!!!
