Happy Canada day! going to cherry beach today, around 4pm. Hope to see some of you spinners there.

Posted: 2nd Jul 2002
Sorry I didn't catch up with anyone. I was passed out at home by the time 4pm came around.

I'll be at trinity bellwood tonite though.

See you at 9!

Posted: 2nd Jul 2002
I'm afraid there's about a 90% chance I won't be going tonight. sorry folks, I guess next week, as I won't be around next weekend...

Which brings me to my point here. I'm going to the US for a family reunion, and I plan on swinging by a toys-r-us to pick up some of those light wands like Space had (before she broke them ). I'd be happy to pick some up for you folks as well...just send me a PM and we'll sort it out. I think they're $15US each, but I'll I'll have internet access down there so I can let you know exact prices if you need to know before you decide.

Take care doods.

wow, yesterday at cherry beach was so much fun! lots spinning and fire. good thing I brought kero. Should be good at trinity tonight.

Posted: 2nd Jul 2002
Oh yeah.. on another note.

Hillary, the co-organizer for the Resistor psy-trance parties, has given us permission to have a pre-party poi session (or early party anyways).

This gives us a chance to play with our UV and glow toys with lots of room and loud music.

Unfortunately, because people show up and want to dance, we are restricted from 10pm - 11:30pm.. but I'll see about getting us extended to 9pm if the interest is good enough.

Just to say thanks for the great time yesterday at cherry beach, it was great meeting people and discovering a new bit of toronto - the party was just what I needed to stop me missing england. Linda thanks loads for having some fuel with u, a burn finished the afternoon for me in style but I'm still going to have to practice loads to look as cool as you all did.
nyway take care and I'll see u all soon

...so I'll just post the info for the BoatCruiseParty here. ENJOY

*huggzz* me B.

From: "fukhouse"
To: "alienInFlux"

alienInFlux is back with a kick ass BOAT CRUZ on the 19th

Friday July 19 - Tall Sailing Ship Midnight Moon Cruise.

alienInFlux and Promise host our second cruise together on the lovely
tall
sailing ship Kajama. The Kajama holds 200 people and is truly the most
beautiful boat out of Toronto to dance on. The boat was built in
Germany in
1930 and was a trading galleon for over 70 years all over Europe and
the
East. It has 3 masts with working sails and a great sound system.

We are finally in the full throes of summer and July 19th boasts a
brilliant
moon to light our way off into the mist, so the atmosphere will be
perfect.
11pm -3:30am. $30. Reply to this email for tickets.

I've been traveling Central America for six months and have finally
returned. I will be butting some other annual events together this
summer
which include this Tall Sailing Ship Midnight Moon Cruise, July 19th,
The
Harvest Festival in September and possibly another Boreal Canoe trip in
August. I'm confidant these events will all be a fantastic success and
I
hope that you will come out and party hard in the great out doors with
us.

See you out there.

last night was so much fun! really enjoyed playing with maxime's ropes and the cops getting stuck was pretty entertaining too. they called for a tow truck and 4 cop cars showed up!!
THIS WEEK'S ACTIVITIES:
SAT: High Park, 8pm. Go to Keele subway, walk into park (path) and meet in grassy area. I'm pretty sure, even if the strike is off, Christie is not gonna be cleaned up by sat.
TUES: Trinity, 8pm.

P.S. Hi Oscar!

Posted: 10th Jul 2002
Hi everyone!
I just want to say that I miss everyone tons!!! Funny how when i'm finally in Toronto, I dont get to spin nights! I have oodles and oodles of work to do, and the wonderful people i'm living with have been taking me out every second of 'spare' time I have to meet people and party. I do however have a wonderful ginormous flat roof at the back of my house that keeps me sane. I hope it wont be too long before I see all of you kids again.
Cheers,
Stace aka *Space*

We risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment, each thought overcome by anticipation of the next, we take the breaks off

Hey peeps, what's goin on?

SOrry it's been a while since I've been out to any meets. Have been extraordinarily busy.

Speaking of which, I won't be able to make it this Saturday OR the one after. Technically I could be there this Tuesday but it's my birfday so it's family dinner time, plus I think my friends want to take me out somewhere. Bethany, I am extremely grateful for the invite this Thursday, as I CAN make it to that and I don't know when I'd be seeing you folks otherwise.

How is our loverly CHristies Pits park? I heard it's being used as a garbage dump. Let's twirl some rats by the tail, says I.

The trip was last weekend was great 'cept that the majority of the ToysRuses in the states are being closed down and I couldn't find Light Wands ANYWHERE. One place said they carried them but were out of stock. Boo-urns. My mum is going the the states on business in a week or two and she says she'll take a look around if she has some time.

Anyways, hope you're all doing well and I guess I'll see you all next Thurs.

Posted: 11th Jul 2002
That sounds like fun stuff to me.. Will someone be bringing a stereo?

Stace, we were wondering where you've been... Glad to have you back

Posted: 11th Jul 2002
And Paddy's back as well!! How about that.. Welcome back man!

oh.. and we've moved the saturday shindig to High Park near Keele Stn until the garbage clears out. I was there just today, and to be honest it smells too, just like the rest of this city, but Christie is pretty extreme right now..

Paddy & Stace Hello agian!

Hey everyone,

Welcome home Paddy and Stace!!! Glad to hear from ya both:) Now where is Mass Destruction??

The last 2 weekends on Cherry Beach have been such fun - the best way to chill out for sure.

Bethany thanks for the invite on Thursday - Ommies you say - hurrah:)

I have a friend in from France on Saturday - am hoping to bring her to the park. High Park sounds good.

See most of you there!!!!!!!

Karen

I was just listening to CBC, and they were reporting from the world fare (sic) going on this weekend...apparently there is a travelling poi group who will be performing 3:15-6 on sunday. From the sounds of it they follow the Maori (sp?) tradition pretty tightly, using knotted rope instead of any of that fancy shmancy fire. I guess they're pretty good if they travel around doing it...prolly worth checking out. I'll see if I can come down. Anyone else interested?

Posted: 12th Jul 2002
Oh yes, forgot to mention that I can lug the ol stereo out next Thurday if we don't have one.
