SCORPIO BIRTHDAY PARTY
|
XOXOXOX LOVE PARTY XOXOXOX
SATURDAY 10th NOVEMBER 2001
THANK YOU TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS WHO CAME TO THE PARTY!
The hall was decorated, the chai and food flowed, the dancing hardly stopped, the performances were divine, the DJ cranked until the wee hours and we jammed when he wasn't. It rained, so we only had a small fire outside shortly before dawn, but we had one nonetheless!

LOVE TO YOU ALL
If I forgot anyone, forgive me! It was a pretty intense time for me, 35 hours without sleep and you know the rest!
HISTORY:
The venue for my birthday party is Tyagarah Hall. Not quite as expansive as a big rural spread, but the hills property had challenges with no lighting, stove, etc.
The Hall has a stage, piano (not sure what state it's in), small
kitchen (small portable gas stove only - if someone has another of these it would definitely be useful), outdoor loos, etc. It is located next to the Tyagarah Airport hangars, accessible by turning into the service road that runs parallel with the Highway. This is entered via Gray's Lane from the south or via the Tyagarah Mobil service station turn-off from the north - the sign says: "Airfield next left" so do that left turn and then go immediately right onto the service road. Please park intelligently along the access roads, and leave the area right in front of the hall free of cars so we can play there.

People who would like to decorate, prepare for performance, or just hang and support, come about lunch time and enjoy set-up together
