Fairbridge 2

So we went to Fairbridge on the weekend. It was nice. Not a lot was happening during the day and I didn't find out until 10pm that the music goes all night - that being the main part of the festival. It was a great atmosphere, nice and relaxed. The chai tent was definitely a highlight. It was a little open air tent/marquee all decorated in red. So you sat on red cushions and the squat little tables had red tablecloths on them and drank your chai.

Quite a lot of people had poi they were playing with. I'd never seen them before but they're great! They are a Maori toy - probably a hunting weapon once, I reckon. Put something hard on the end and they'd do a bit of damage. You use a pair of them and do different tricks. A cross between juggling, diablo and nunchaku. One chick had a LED pair which looked awesome at night.

So I've ordered some from NZ. Hanging out to have a play.
