My apologies to those who are getting this twice but I felt that this message needs to reach the Joni-only people on the list as well. OzFest 2010 is now dead. It was a dream of mine to organise the first ever JoniFest in the Southern Hemisphere but, with only three active JMDL members in Australia, I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. There were some who signed up right away to get the ball rolling which made me think it had a chance. Thanks for your enthusiasm Lieve, Bob and Marion. Then I got this great deal from a wonderful venue in Kanagaroo Valley in southern NSW. I needed to get at least 30 people to make it viable because the deal was for the whole venue. As time slipped by, the pressure got higher. The venue were getting offers for weddings, etc. They were disappointed too because the idea of a JoniFest intrigued them. I even tried spruiking at the Sydney Opera House before the Joni tribute show. People politely took my flyer and the lobby bar even allowed me to put a pile of them on the bar. Final membership of the Yahoo group never went past 30 and, most of them were just curious. So, with commitment from only about 6 or seven people, it just never got off the ground. It's a huge disappointment for me because I had such great plans. There were going to be prizes, take home goody bags and possibly even some special guests. Maybe one day in the future, we can try again. Until then, I hope to see you all at a Northern Hemisphere JoniFest someday.

We all know that you have done the very best you could to make this happen. It was up to us jmdlers to sign up and get the show on the road. You did not fail, we did. Then again, a trip to Australia does take some saving for most of us so don't give up the whole idea yet. Maybe there is a large enough group who could agree on saving up a couple of years to make it to Australia? I for one am holding on to my savings thinking I will make the trip in a not too distant future, and if I could combine it with a jonifest that would be just perfect. Anyway, Mark, thank you so much for the enormous enthusiasm and effort you put into this project! I hope you will have the best of years (and decades) and that the future will bring you everything you need to be happy. See you sometime, love and peace, Marion - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark-Leon Thorne" To: "jonipeople LIST" Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 10:24 AM Subject: OzFest 2010 Dead > Hello everyone. > > My apologies to those who are getting this twice but I felt that this > message needs to reach the Joni-only people on the list as well. > > OzFest 2010 is now dead.

Thanks so much for your kind words and kudos for the transcription site. I'm so proud to be part of such an amazing collection transcribed by a group of great musicians who just want to share and archive what, in my opinion, is the most beautiful music in the world. Stay tuned, we are hoping to add more tabs soon, including some songs you may have never heard before! :-) (I know that's a nasty teaser!)

Speaking of which, this name generator is pretty complex and ultimately pretty darn funny. http://www.douchebagnamegenerator.com/ ________________________________ From: Monika Bogdanowicz To: Paul Castle ; Joni people!
