At the end of June, I go here: www.innibos.co.za (http://www.innibos.co.za) to screen films and to honour my mentor Jans Rautenbach. Then, with hardly chance to draw breath or change my undies :buggedout: , I go here www.volksbladfees.co.za (http://www.volksbladfees.co.za) to screen films there too. The regulars will know and remember ~ as if they could ever forget ~ that the Bloemfontein festival was the one where I got a serious bout of food poisoning in 2008 and was stretchered out of the hotel to the hospital, screaming, pooping, vomiting, crying, howling ~ all that from a steak and French fries ~ but generally feeling OK. :wink: I am staying in that same hotel again ~ I am going to live on pizza, fish and chicken.
All I'm not looking forward to is the cold: in July 2009, the early morning temperature in Bloemfontein was -5 degrees celsius once. :buggedout: :buggedout:
Have fun on your travels Trevor! :teddyr: And yeah, I would definitely avoid eating at that hotel again :bouncegiggle:

Have a great time, Trevor!
Don't antagonize any honey badgers!
May your experiences be grand and your undies clean.
Have some great travels! (Insert required underwear joke here).

..."Once"? :bouncegiggle: Should we be replacing those native bearers with sled dogs? (Had I known, I would have sent you an honest-to-goodness Canadian
tuque. )
Trevor: keep warm, stay safe and return happy and healthy! (and soon!)
Good journey...

I see you remember that joke that Brother Cheezeflix made about me needing those bearers ~ my reaction to that has always been :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:. I must remind him that they are needed on the 10th July to carry posters, film projectors, stands, reels, DVDs and my luggage (and me) to Bloemfontein, plus-minus 500 kms. :buggedout:
Boy...I wish I had a cool job....have fun,Trevor-and stay safe! :thumbup:

I'm sure it will be a bit too cold for them anyway.

Thanks, Circus ~ if the bearers play the game, we should be there by the time the festival finishes. :buggedout: :wink:
