Well, it’s on…

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

I bought my flights & Burning Man ticket about 6 hours ago. I fly out in 13 hours.

This may be the most spontaneous decision I have ever made. Driving up with and then - who knows! I have no plans, no camp, and it will all just work out.

I really am quite insane!

Will check in when I arrive in SF hopefully, but if i don’t - see ya all in about 8 days.

Sorry to Melting man folks - I feel bad, but I just felt like I had to go. It’s Burning Man though, so you guys HAVE to understand!

Kiwiburn newsfeed finally created :)

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Took a while, but finally got around to making a wordpress news blog for Kiwiburn and transposed everything that used to be on the “news” page. Now you need never miss KB news again: add the news feed to your feed reader [http://kiwiburn.com/news/?feed=rss2], or even easier, add the lj feed to your friends’ list: .

So hard to update these days…

Really, it so is! I am amazed at how few posts I’ve made over the last few months. I have found it a huge strain even just keeping up reading my FL: doesn’t help that I keep so many newsfeeds on there, but I do feel it’s the best way to stay on top of general news as well as the news from all of you who are physical friends. So please know I am trying to read everything, but I know I’m sometimes missing or skimming: over the last 2 days I’ve been going back as far as 850 entries!! So that should give you some idea.

What have I been up to? Well, quick trip to Perth last week was good, lovely to catch up with a lot of people, though it was such a quick trip! This week has been unbelievably hectic, but I’m finally all caught up and I feel like I’m back behind the 8-Ball, so to speak.

Oh yes, can’t go any further without saying that VNV were awesome on Friday night and I hope the Perth gig is spectacular: good to hear there will be decent sound hired for it, hope the techs get it right because too many live gigs at Gilks have had sucky sound [and I mean, pretty much all of them because it's such a hard venue to get the mix right, big and echoey and weird shaped]. As always Ronan was hilarious and passionate and the music was great. Not such a good light show as last time from what I remember, I am expecting Perth to kick ass in that respect too - I am expecting that they will go away wondering why on earth they didn’t play Perth last tour!!! ;)

Have a wonderful time tonight my friends, and know that I am there with you in spirit, dancing my ass off to Chrome and tearing up during Beloved.

Tickets to Underworld [read:Summadayze] go on sale here Monday. No presales like there was for Perth this week, so I’m expecting it to sell out in record time, so will be buying first thing. Shame it’s at Sidney Myer [crappy venue] but Underworld will be amazing no matter where they play.
