Well, it was on. After seeing the forecast two days ago for thunderstorms in the late afternoon/evening, i was doubtful!!!
But i saw stars in the sky as we stood around in a big circle at the end of the event, gazing upwards, breathing a little.
So there was a great line up of acts. Probably not as many as we would have liked, but given the short notice it was great!! The grasshoppers were cool. Really good to see the young kids having ago, and they were really impressive!! (surprised by the skill levels)
The first prize was taken out by Gold Coaster, Steve and Dan from (everywhere) and Cairns lately, but now in brisbane. .. . and Chinta, one of the Grasshoppers.
Their show was awesome!!! Very dynamic and fluid. Their name LiquaFusion. Man they have it down!!!
All the acts were different. Some saucy, some sacred and another way out and fun!.
So Big Thanks to all that helped make it happen!!! Matt and Suzy and Gabe, Rick, and Jed from "in The Bin". and everyone else.
There was a good crowd too by the way. I think there would have been a few hundred at least.
We did hardly any marketing, and next year we will pull together a much better show. Jed from "In the Bin" was talking about next year already, and how he wants it a bit more organised which is understandable. There was huge disorganisation with the music. People with mp3 players, laptops, cds, and not all of them were working. Pretty hard for Jed, who still did an awesome job pulling it all together.
So if Jed is up for another year we can have a lot more time to prep and let people know when it's on etc. (same time next year!!!) Now that is enough notice Last night i just felt how big this could get, and how cool it is going to become!!! So lets look forward to next year with hopes for more acts and a big push for development of this art form into a more widely appreciated art!!!
