Bungay 2006 HLGCB
plumsie
one of my favourite conventions.
High.
Being there for the whole event, The show with some of the best acts I
have seen this year, making so many new friends and seeing so many old
friends and the good spirit shown in adversity by everyone there.
Low.
Getting some bad news by phone whilst I was having such a good time.
Goal.
Pass Bungay entrance exam. Failed
Make new friends. Check
Lean something new. Check (Jungle jam anyone)
Crush.
Clare Bear (My long suffering wife), Peachi, Grant (making hat routines
worth watching), Little Paul (norrowly escaping being caught on cameera
with poi) and everyone who put so much into making this convention such a
success.
Bane.
The RAIN. The field became a lake with occassional patches of mud, not as
bad as Ptui but still not great.(No-one complained though, can't have been
that bad really)
All in all it was a fantastic 10 days and I'll be back for the full thing
again next year. Long live the Bungay Balls Up!
Plumsie.
........
I need a date so I can start counting down to the next one.

Guy Chisholm
All the acts in the show, and in paticular Grant's hat routine.
Low : Not having any wellies to take with me.
Goal : Meet new people (check, check, check........)
Crush: My housemate's tent, which leeked less than he assured me it would.
Bane : Trudging through the puddles in the dark without wellies :(
Had a great time for the short time I was there. Hopefully I'll be able
to make it for longer next year when this time of year is a bit less
hectic.
Guy
P.S. Did anybody lose a pair of 41cm henrys carbon fibre sticks? I
inadvertanly packed them along with my identical pair, sorry 'bout that.
Just send me an email with ur address etc, and they'll be winging their
way to you in no time ;)! Whoopsie...

The comedown is awful. Real Life Sucks (tm)
> High.
The whole damn thing!
Oh. Specifics, erm... nope. It was all great :-)
Oh, possibly finding out that Barnesy managed to top the ton on his tab.
*applauds* nice work there Dave :-)
> Low.
Deffo the traffic on the M25 on the way home. I don't think I had a low
point at the entire convention. Apart from possibly getting a cold on
the last day.
> Goal.
Relax, chill, juggle, make new mates, have other misc fun - TICK
Avoid being in the show - FAILED. I even went to great lengths to avoid
the show meeting (by going to the brewery)
> Crush.
Either Grant for his dancing in the face of gravity, or Ruth for her
"everyone needs more hugs" attitude.
> Bane.
Erm, cant really think of one. Everyone is saying "rain" - but I didn't
have wet clothes at *all* during the whole week, my tent didn't leak,
and I had no trouble at all getting off site when I needed to. As far
as I'm concerned, I've had much, *much* wetter conventions - and I
wasn't at EJC last year :-)
I'll probably have to go with the birdsong instead. I think it says a
lot when "the dawn chorus" is the worst thing about a convention.

Too fucking right!

My first Bungay and only from friday night to monday afternoon, but good
fun nontheless.
High:
Arriving late friday night to find a squelchy field but not having to
put my tent up because I have good friends :) Finding out that volley
club isn't as hard as last time I tried. Amusing people by looking very
silly whilst hula-ing. Grant in the show (not that the others weren't
good though!). Games.
Low:
Forgetting to go to the brewery on the way back to buy beer. Damn!
Goal:
Look at the stars. Check.
Talk to people. Check.
Have a good time. Check.
Crush:
Helen, for teaching me some really enjoyable passing patterns and
absorbing my bad throws :)
Bane:
Banoffee pie. I don't like bananas, so I'm miffed that I had to miss out
on what everybody was obviously enjoying. Grr.
Thanks to Charlie, Alex and everybody else who helped organise things.
See you again next year!
Cheers,
Roger

I'm not a huge fan of banoffee pie either. Might have something to do
with the fact that I've only ever eaten it in Cuzco, Peru. I should
probably try it again before I make my mind up. Actually I should go to a
Bungay Balls Up, and try it there... and then make a decision.

I have to agree, Banoffee seems to outweigh all other deserts 2:1 at
bungay. There were even banoffee pancakes. I enjoy banoffee but if it is
all that is available it does get a little boring after the 12th portion.
> Thanks to Charlie, Alex and everybody else who helped organise things.

I have to echo that again, Charlie and Alex do a fantastic job of
organising this every year and I have to offer a big thank you to them, It
is a hard job to organise something this good and they hardly seemed to
stop all week.
Well done to everyone who helped out

FAK - transitioning badly back into the real world.
Darren_S
High:
Can't really think of any specific moment that stands out. Meeting a load
of new people and sort of getting to know a few people who I'd seen before
but not really got to know was rather good.
Ooh, I've just remembered Jungle Jam too !
Low:
Struggling on this one. I can't really say that I was bothered by the
dawn chorus. The gas did run out half way through one of my showers
though. Brrrr!
Oh, and someone woke me up at 02:00 one morning playing a didgeridoo !
Goal:
Chill (Yes)
Meet new people (Yes)
Ride Unicycle to Brewery (Yes)
Get to 50 Catches with 4 Clubs (No)
Win a game of Jungle Jam (Eventually)
Crush:
The whole Bungay experience.
The beer from the local brewery.
Bane:
I'm not going to go with the weather here, as I quite like the sound of
rain on canvas, and It didn't really stop me from doing much (more
unicycling would have been nice though).
Erm, the worst bit for me was not realising that there would be mains on
site and having to be careful with my camera, faux iPod etc. to make sure
that the batteries saw the week out.
Roll on BBU 2007 !

I had a couple of the other ones but it seemed that for every one other
desert made two banoffee pies got made
I also kept missing the other ones as they had sold out by the time I got
there and only banoffee was left. Does that suggest people prefer the
others?
It's only a minor point anyway, I like banoffee. The toffee cheesecake was
my favourite other(pity it sold out before I got back to get a second
slice)

Still recovering from Bungay.
Charlie
Hi all,
Just got back and unloaded, a looong and tiring day. Thanks to all who
helped with the clearup and hope you got home quickly and easily.
High:
Colin and Anwen in the show, with me and Alex with the best seats in the
house. So nice to see friends performing for the first time ever, and
doing it flawlessly. The atmosphere just after the show was great as well!
Low:
The rain. It made the site soggy, caused us endless headaches with the
tent, made me worry about the electrics (which luckily didn't fuse
once!) and caused people to get stuck in the mud! Still, it *was*
apparently one of the wettest Mays on record, and we coped, and people
had fun. Not bad, not bad at all.
Goals:
To prove we can run a 10 day Bungay to budget (check!); to see all my
friends again (check!) and to make more (check!); to eat Monte's food
for a week and a half (check!). Didn't do a great amount of juggling so
no juggling related ones..
Crush:
Farmer Paul, who no matter what happens remains cheerful, goes to pick
people up from the station at a moment's notice, lends us the contents
of his marvellous sheds (like the Tardis, they contain a lot more than
you might think), and really takes part in the event, playing board
games with people (Rude Scrabble was most amusing), sitting up late
talking nonsense, and now has his own set of cigar boxes to play with.
Bane:
Budget Van Hire, who after I'd had a very long day had the temerity to
charge more or less a whole day's rate on top after I'd returned the van
a couple of hours late. They're not getting my business again...
Cheers and hugs to all. Bungay will return, during the last week of May
2007, ending on the bank holiday. More wibbles soon, once my head is
less fried.
Charlie.

It was between me and Tommeeeh at the end and I just managed to get out of
it....phew!!

Yes, it was wet, but i've been wetter. If that's the wettest it's ever
been then Bungay can more than cope with whatever the elements throw at it.

Some uncategorised stuff:
Radio announcer's "Thank goodness for that"

"Windmill!"
Crop circles
The BBU entrance exam actually going beyond a joke - 9 qualifiers!
Drunken LP.
Rainbows a go-go
Flight delays - no Jaims and Helen
Grant, & Colin and Anwen debuting in the show.

"I'm not proud,...... or tired!"
Too many photos.
Fak's claws against the world: There was only ever going to be one winner.

Ruth's fruit and peg powers.
Montegriffos.
"In the 2006 Bungay poker tournament, The Void's position was Nineteen.
Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nineteen."
Inducting more disciples to the church of Jungle Jam.
Seeing someone foolishly attempt to emulate LP's climb-through-a-ring
trick, and get stuck
The wood burner.
The 'random' overuse of the word 'random'
The furrow.
The birds.
BJC DVD arriving to cheer me up, just after being Nineteenth.
Fred's volume control in the morning.
Farmer, Little, Silver, Littleman - "It begins to pall after a while"

Well then, there must've been an outbreak of thought molasses, as we're
talking about someone other than Kelie. I have the video footage, but I
haven't seen it yet. I may use it if I make a BBU video, I may not.

Nice pictures Void. I got about half way thru before I realised I had a
good half hour left till the end of the gallery.
mmmm maybe next year (again).

Ha! Yeah, I spent a good long while gazing through those and the others
linked to the BBU archive. I thought I was done with The Void's before I
notice there was another column of photos that the frame through IJDB had
obscurred.
Don't know if I'm that lazy to be able to sit around all day on a camping

..maybe I will wake up to find this other world is just a dream and I am
still there - could be a long sleep though.
Thanks to Charlie and Alex and everyone else who helped organise a great
event. Also thanks to everyone for making my son Ben so welcome he came
home much better off than he went.
I enjoyed everything....
Everything, every person, every second, every bottle of beer, every
dropped club, even the mud....
Having to make an unexpected trip back to Bristol right in the middle of
it was awful but that was all ok once I got back to Bungay.
I got to Juggle quite a lot, drink lots of beer, learn some new stuff and
meet lots of nice people new and old. Enjoyed the three club and passing
workshops too...and the show...and food...rude scrabble...it goes on
Ok - setting my alarm clock for late May 2007 - may wake up for a bit
round about 16th of September though.

I've been back a week now, and I'm *just* starting to lose that fluffy,
chilled out Bungay feeling :-(
I can't do a HLGCB because everything was a high, there were no lows (not
even going out on the *first* hand of a poker game), I had no goals, and I'd
have to be so picky to find a bane that it's just not worth it.
Instead I was going to do really really good stuff, really good stuff, good
stuff, stuff, but I can't even be bothered with that (maybe I haven't
*completely* lost that Bungay feeling!).
Anyhow, for the first time ever, I've risen from my oversized posterior for
long enough to put some photos online. I'm really happy with the how they've
come out, but I still want to buy a big boys camera like Colin's or Matt's.
http://www.jasonperry.co.uk/juggling_conventions/bungay_2006/
Enjoy!

Jason Perry
such a great event, to Farmer Paul for being such a chilled host, to Monte &
Jamie for fattening me up, and to everyone else just for being there.
I didn't believe the marketing hype - 'It's like Bristol, but without the
stress' - but it's true.
See ya next year.

Nice bunch of pics, Jason. Now, how do I download them? JAlbum seems to
have obscured them annoyingly. OK, I've worked out that I can take all the
page URLs, remove '/slides', and change '.html' to '.jpg', then plug all
those into my download manager, but that seems like awfully hard work. And
I can't access the directory, 'cos you've got an index page there too.
This is worse than Flickr!
Of course, if you don't want them to be downloadable, then fair enough.....

Umm? Can't you just right-click on the picture and choose 'Save Picture
As...'? I'm using IE6 on XP and that seems to work just fine.

No, you're welcome to grab anything you want. Let me know if you're still
struggling and I'll see if I can put up duplicate files in another directory
so that you can browse straight to them. If you want higher res copies
(these are at half res) let me know.

Hurrah! Looking forward to it.

Normally, this is what I'd do (well, actually, I can just drag the picture
out of the browser window and drop it in a folder, which is even quicker),
but your pages seem to only want me to download the html page, not the jpg
image.
And the html page doesn't actually have the file in it, of course!

That'd be cool, please!

You got a better version of the same shot as me...

I can't drag & drop the pics either, but if I right-click on it (the full
pic, not the thumbnail) I get a context sensitive menu which allows me to
'Save Picture As...'. Can you not do something like Command-Click on a mac
to achieve the same thing?

Right, I've done that, but the server that it's hosted on will not allow
directory listings. I've spoken to Ian and he says that there is no way
around this. He suggested you buy a proper computer!
So I'm afraid if you can't do a Command-Click stylee type thing, then you're
reduced to typing in individual file names. Sorry!

If it's a game of photo snap you're looking for, how about these?

It doesn't work in Camino, but it does in Safari, but neither will let me
do the drag-and-drop which I normally use and is waaaaaay quicker.
