Moon Fest Letter June 2002

Hello gorgeous people!

Wasn’t that a lovely Moon Fest! The weather fined up beautifully, though the moon didn’t seem to do much apart from be her most beautiful luminous self! Not sure what happened to the eclipse idea.
So many people had great new toys to play with! Jez wins the prize for the best mask with his Fire Mask/headpiece! (And I got a turn to wear it! nar narr) It even had little sunnies in the eyes! Teal brought along his new Fire Whip, that fire balls with each crack. Very impressive. The giant Fire Skipping Rope was a real blast! And Incendium’s Fiery Fans of Death… Which I also got a turn of… .:*can’t stop moving…can’t stop moving…can’t stop moving*:. And by golly they are hot!!! A lot like the fire Balls I heard about later... Somehow I managed to miss that one??? Ooh ooh, and all the lovely flags (or ”Sheets”…sorry Sam) they looked beautiful and many a glowing things as well… And of corse everyone’s gorgeous Masks. You all looked fantastic!

Well as you all should know by now, for the next three Moon Fests, (over Winter, June, July & August) we’ll be migrating to the Beacon for a fire! Yeay! I’m also trying to round up a few braziers as well to add a bit more warmth around the place. So far we have two. So if you have one you can bring down, I’d love to hear from you. I’m going to buy a few bags of those fire coals to keep them going. It will be so lovely to snuggle round some cosy warm fires this winter hmmmmmmmmm.

The Dates for the Winter Moon Fests are:
Tuesday, 25th June
Wednesday, 24th July
Friday, 23rd August

So stock up on those winter woollies, bring and extra thick blankie, a mug for hot chai to warm your hands and belly, fire toys, instruments, warm fuzzies and festive spirit! We’ll dance, twirl, drum and snuggle ourselves warm!

Just a gentle, friendly reminder that Moon Fest is a Drug and Alcohol Free Event. Thanks to all of you who respect this.

Thanks to Zinta, Jez, and any of the other clean up fairies I forgot to mention for helping clean up at the end of the night. It makes a job so much easier with helping hands. There was quite a bit of rubbish left behind this month so please remember to take your rubbish with you, I’m sure you’d come across a bin on the way to your car/train station/house.

The Medieval Fayre is on 8th and 9th June, at Musgrave Park South Brisbane. There will be a spectacular Fire & Drumming show by Phoenix Fire Tribe and friends including Brisdjembe Drum Circle, many Moon Fest Friends, and many many professional fire performers of Brisbane and the surrounding district. The show combines Fire Twirling Choreography, Fire Belly Dance, Fire Sculpture, Fire Circle Dance, Fire Drumming, Fire Skipping, Fire, Fire & so much FIRE!!! Should be fun!

Peggy, and John have moved their Rhythm at Redcliffe to Sandgate at the Einbumpin Lagoon. The new drum and dance circle meets each Tuesday evening (from 7pm) to share their love for rhythm and dance. All Welcome. How lovely to have a drum circle just a hop skip and a jump from my house!

The Valley Fiesta is on 13th and 14th July as well as the Yagubi Festival up in Harvey Bay... Have fun trying to decide which one to go to.

I’ve heard through the grape vine that The Tooth Faeries will be playing at the Zoo on Friday the 19th July...

The Einbumpin Festival is on Sunday 28th July, at the Einbumpin Lagoon Sandgate. Bring your fire toys and drums for a jam and twirl after dusk. Market and info stalls, kids rides and activities & live entertainment, throughout the day.

We’ll be back at the usual spot for the Spring Moon Fest on Saturday 21st September. Rainbow Butterfly, Stilt Dancers and much more install!!!

See you all Cosy and Warm by the Fire under the Full Moon*:.

Lots of Love and extra Warm Fuzzies
Elke *:.

*:...one day all the fairy fridges will be aligned and my pixie world will be complete...:*
