I Quit My Job

Yes, it's true.

After kiwiburn, a week of niceness in Wellington and WDC's first party which was FTW cool,

i've come back to Auckland and quit my job.

Does Burning Man/Kiwiburn change your life? Hell yeah!

To those who worry, it was in the works anyway.

Sooooo.... anyone want to pay me to hang around? Will DJ for food. Heh heh heh.

For those who don't know (ie most of you), I'm considering a move (back) to Wellington. Likely timeframe will be Bliss March 23 (Auck), Bliss July ?? (Auck) and move after that. Or maybe go overseas, go to Greenbelt, Cornerstone, Canada, Burning Man Nevada, and move after that.

Anyway. Still thunking about it.

Any Dorklanders want to make it worth my while to stay up here?

:P

Kiwiburn, Pink Moa and lovely people

I've been on holiday for the last week.

It's been great, truly re-recreational although perhaps not very restful at times.

Kiwiburn was absolutely beautiful. I met so many wonderful people. I can't really describe it, but i am now on the executive committee and will be helping making next year's happen. All i can say is, if you can possibly make it in February next year, do. You will never regret it.



Pink Moa went OFF!! Good sets by all. Big ups to DJ Dee and Nat for making it. Big ups to Sam (it's his photo) for being the backbone of Pink Moa setup. You rock, dude.

I played several times, but the highlight had to be my 4 hour set on the night of the burn, which was incredible in terms of crowd response and my own performance (especially considering my back was severely playing up that night). I played "Seasons", my Xhile industrial dnb track which was very well received. It's still very unfinished, so i will be finishing it this week for Club Bizarre on Saturday 24th.

And tonight, I play an outdoor party at the Massey Memorial in Wellington for the Wellington Dance Collective, the fluffiest loveliest people i've met in a while. Life is good.

Pink Moa Wants You!

Wow! There is a Burning Man-inspired festival on Waitangi weekend next year! Check out
www.kiwiburn.com

I am so there! I'm organising a theme camp:

Pink Moa

We aim to make a lush, comfortable space with everything in pink - preferably fluoro pink. Surrounding this will be our tents/dwellings.

We aim to have music - lots of house, uplifting trance and psy trance music, some industrial/ebm (by DJ Xhile) but other music/bands may be welcome - we have the amazing DJ Dee (Auck), DJ Maslow, DJ Helix (ex Welly) and DJ Qua May (Wellington) booked already.

We aim to give gifts to all who attend, we will dance, and generally be nice people.

We aim to dress up in fake fur, spangles, way-out hair, body paint, piercings, tattoos, and sexy costumes. As much pink as possible, of course.

We aim to welcome all who enter our magical pink space.

If you'd like to join us and camp together, post here, ask questions... or email jon.beza [at] ya hoo [dot] com
