FIRE

I've spoken many times with the "fire safety" guy at burning man (davex) about a wiiide variety of topics. He's given us the greenlight on getting a laminated-badge thingy to wave at the playa firefighters if they come and try to squirt us with a hose. He suggested that we come up with some sort of 'show,' but knowing bicho and I it'll be something like skeet shooting teddybears with the burna. Any ideas on what would make an amusing show are appreciated there. Hell, he even suggested that we list it in the what/where/when if we think up something. Would be pretty cool to finally do *something out there.

As far as camp fires, yeah. We are allowed to have individual off-the-playa campfires this year. Anyone can have a burn barrel, a camp brazier, or reasonably controlled fire without needing registration. Their requirements are, and I quote, "that nobody burns the damn place down." We'll have to keep gasoline for the thrower and any spare for vehicles under a fire tarp and have some cleanup supplies/extinguishers nearby for any... accidents. I figure we can find some way to make that thing wind resistant, maybe a few metal hose clamps to hold the bangle down then a peice of rebar to hold the footing down? We can have it in our little communal area around all the tents. Would definitely make for a warmer night. Someone bring marshmallows.
