How are you wonderful man
Hey we have missed you
So looking forward to the new Confest site it looks lovely so green so
peaceful just terrific.....
So what have you been up to baby?
Hugs and Goddess songs Luv Lizzy Rose xo
In the midst of so many festivals.
I have been away and so moderation has been in groups lots
It is my aim to minimise emails and keep quality.
So I ask if you have regular weekly / monthly events that you:
"offer people contact you directly for regular information".
(you will need this for approval)
I have just returned from festival number 4
The first was Handsonskin @ Turtle Camp
The theme was water, as is fell from the sky.
This served only to enhance the experience.
As a large group of people moved into a smaller space.
To share food, drum and dance. The energy lifted
Thanks so much for the experience Keith and crew.
The second took me to Bourke (YAAMMA). Where I discovered my repairs in
Melbourne to my truck where only short lived.(technically speaking I run
outa oil it grabed a piston maybe a bottom end and caused a heap of blowby
makin it run crap)
This caused me to require a new engine in Bourke. Now the festival, was
Incredible, Brains help was invaluable. Mixing sound on stage all day, so I
could connect each new performance.
The last Festival left lasting impressions both on the community and who
many consider trouble kids.
These kids where continually engaged were resources where available, each
had an opportunity to shine, Beat boxing, dancing and construction.
The festival was a little smaller this year as a result of being outside of
school holidays but the quality was much higher.
Thankyou to Michael who travels from Nimbin each time with 4 crew, in what
would be considered a complete labour of Love, My hat off to you. Gidgee
guest house Chris and Chrissie day in day out living Yaamma(as do the crew
in the Yaamma office), Thanks for the use of your space while fitting the
new second hand engine.
Next came Sydney ConFesters the Jewel, A festival model that defies gravity.
A self running festival that is energised by a select few that is completely
sustainable.
To be feed 2-3 meals a day over a 5 day period for an entry of $60 almost
defies logic. Using tanked filtered spring water that (as the beatiful
Sophia would say) " Its Just Delicious"
Hot shower hot tub hot food and Hot workshops followed buy a random night of
music and dance. Under 4,000,000 Star Accomodation.
Finally Back west again Nymagee (past Nyngan),
Its more than just a country music festival. It is a peoples festival with
top class performers and a high level of skill in planning running and
building. Running every 2 years 150kms from any where .
In a place that is a dessert, dryer than Bourke. I found myself wondered how
I could get Brian to the next one. With 80 hours on duty (onsite) and I was
ready for more. I guess Im gonna catch up on sleep soon. But i still got
some washing and unpacking to do till then.
Thanks for being such a great Fluid group. I look forward to your
contributions about and Gatherings and festivals as they should arrive.
Should you Know of any festivals requiring sound light or Marquees Let me
know
PS Confest is moving from Deniliquin to Moulamein and is having a working
bee around Melbourne Cup.
Give me a Hoy if you would like to plan a road trip
PPS Check for new Pictures soon in

'Youth Rock the Block' festival @ The Block
(Lawson St Redfern)
Saturday October 14, between 12-4pm.
‘Youth Rock the Block’ will feature young Indigenous singers and dancers, from
ages 7 to 16, performing to the public of Sydney, and raising awareness of the
Aboriginal Housing Company's Pemulwuy Project.
The Pemulwuy Project is a plan to redevelop The Block as a vibrant residential
and commercial locality for Aboriginal people. Although the Housing Company
(AHC) owns the land on The Block the NSW Government is presently opposing the
redevelopment in favour of building a high-rise business district.
This festival follows from the highly successful and widely publicised 'Rock
the Block' event held in May 2006, which featured such artists as Ozi Batla,
from 'The Herd', Bart Willoughby, Indigenous Hip-hop artist Wire MC, Jimmy
Little's grandson James Henry, and event co-organisers- Sydney rock band
Andorra.
Youth Rock the Block is part of a festival weekend which will also incorporate
a Reggae Festival on Sunday October 15.
The event is being coordinated by AHC General Manager Lani Tuitavake, Joel
Beasant from Andorra, and community youth worker Donald Enoch.
Please find a flyer attached.
Please call:
Joel Beasant on 97971339, or
Lani Tuitavake on 02 96989249 for more information.
Yours sincerely,
Joel Beasant.

Thank you very much
