    Prof, let me ellaborate, In the summer we get the likes of JP, ALakazam, LDR , Chayne and Shep, all doing "mega" hats.
    I don't resent this as I have been to Aussie Land and was made welcome. But some darker forces in our midst are terratorial and resent the Aussie gold rush in summer, some claim that during our best months we are flooded with high unicycles ,tattooos and bullwhips.
    If we allowed the Aussie's in for free, some people might feel bitter, If we don't allow them at all , I would miss out on geting wasted with my closest and dearest mates.
    The solution is obvious,They are invited but on the condition they pay the bar bill with their mega hats that they're always bragging about!
    p.s thanks for the spell check
    nick , yeah simmilar sought of thing......if you like.. prettier surroundings....ie The Lake District, less chance of terrorist attack, fire etc

      [quote] Although some street people attend motionfest, it is not "for" street people, but for performing artists. <hr></blockquote>

      That's the problem with Denver, our street people don't move. They just stand there on the corner with their sign: "please help, homeless, God Bless". Or "Need gas (petrol) please help". Or "Need a beer, Please help".

      I think a better sign would be "Have gas, need $$$"

      A festival for street people that teaches them to move would be good. Some of them look like they need some exersize. Maybe "Mobility Fest" ?

      What ya think?

          Sadly, no. I only learned the terror and joys of performing in 1997, and have yet to perform in NZ. We have met however. I was the tourist in Nelson with the video camera on your pitch in 2001. Was trying to get
          a quick shot of your mug. You seemed to think I was trying to tape your show.

          I believe the other Stretch may be in the Louisiana area, as someone from there once asked me about a performance there. That inquiry and yours is the only mention of another Stretch that I have come across.

          Glad to learn you are having so much fun in CHCH. Wish we were there.

          Best Wishes,
