~*~ COMMON GROUND 2007 TEASER ~*~
!!!!!!!!!*********COMMON GROUND SITE IS UPDATED*********!!!!!!!!!!!!
www.common-ground.net
we will be updating it progressively as we confirm / think of stuff closer to the date.
------------------
Greetings to all you fine, dandy, spangley and sparkly people!!
Just putting the word out…..
Common Ground is an Annual object manipulation and lifestyle meeting held from Friday the 5th of October to Monday the 8th of October. It's aimed specifically at people who want to relax, have fun, share and learn in a positive and supportive environment.
Set in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, the location has ample room for camping, workshops and more.
Mainly focussing on (but by no means limited to) Twirling, Dance, Music and Circus related skills. Workshops cover a very wide range of different interests and skill levels. From complete novice to professional performer, we think we have something for you.
Core to the concept is participation. The event is created by those who attend sharing their skills and experiences with others - to borrow a phrase thrown around at Burning Man:
"No Spectators, only Participants."
Although, if doing every workshop isn’t you style - just chill out and contribute to the relaxed, happy atmosphere.
Confirmed Dates:
Friday 5th October
Saturday 6th October
Sunday 7th October
Monday 8th October
The dates are a week later this year giving the crew time to be completely set up and running by the time people arrive Friday morning.
Friday – arrive anytime, gates will be open at 8am. Workshops start in the afternoon.
Saturday – **Show**
Sunday – TBA
Monday – workshops and offsite by after lunch.
We have already had some reservations on workshops these include:
Yoga
Drumming
Learn how to DJ
Yogaeria
TICKETS – Limited to 150!! And yes they will sell out!
Early bird - $30 booking before August 31st
Just missed the worm - $40 September 1st – October 4th
Missed the boat - $50 on the door if there are any remaining - there weren't last year
Please email if you would like an EB ticket – go on be the first you know you want too!
IDEAS: for workshops and contributions most welcome.
As in 2005 and 2006 – there will always be smiles, fun, madness, music, dancing and laughing.
Stay tuned for future updates.
Cheers,
Kate and the Common Ground Crew

Well. I'm packed, I have my sleeping bag and stuff at work. I catch a plane to Tassie this afternoon, so now I just have to concentrate for four more hours until I'm out of the office...
Wish me luck!
Currently on the right side up of the world.

1 more day of work, well i think i can manage that. Then i get to have 4 days of tom foolery, that sounds like a good idea to me.
Really look forward to seeing all you lovelies, and meeting new ones.

Have a great time all!!!
I was actually supposed to come down on Tuesday, but had a couple deadlines to meet. Now I am temporarily to poor to get another flight so I'm afraid I'm gonna miss out this year
If anyone still needs a flight back up to Bris-vegas, PM me, I've still got one booked on the 11th.
PS
kids, never ever become self-employed!
Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.
A) it does feel as good
B) it does not look as good on film

That was indeed a great weekend! We're still partying, sleeping etc at Ben's...so not quite at work yet! I agree indeed, what a lovely weekend! My only sad is I left my super favorite long red lightweight (wool and possum fur) cardigan onsite..it would have been round the chill area when we were cleaning up this morn. It says Possum on the label. So if anyone knows its whereabouts, can you send it home! Thanks!

I'm home now.
Now when I say home I mean nowhere near my home, home country or hemisphere and currently sitting in Ben-ja-men's house in awaiting his slapdash stirfry which has inexplicably turned into a proper gourmet job. Got a bit of heatstroke sitting in his back garden resulting in me vomitting the entire contents of my stomach.
Yes home....
CG was fantastic!!!
DEFINITELY worth the small journey there! Everything and everyone was lovely.Yes, it was cold at night but that's just me being a whiny Brit.
Special Thanks to:
- Josh and Kate for putting it on and saving me a ticket
- Ash for getting me there see you back in Melb
- All the ladies for letting me drool over their fellas
- Chicken - you know what
- Brett and his nipples for the tigerbalm.
- Flynt for hugs and bosom pillows.
P.S. Anyone found Gabe's cardigan?
P.S.S. 'Child'
