An impromptu fire jam at Hookah Dome a few hours after the temple burn brought out some of the best and the brightest on the playa. Here is G doing a ton of plane-bends and stall shifting, as well as a brief glimpse of some of the diagonal planes he and Alien Jon have been working on.

Exhausted but proud
As much as I bitch about the process of it, it's nights like last night that remind me why I do in fact love conclave. After a late afternoon runthrough of our full choreo, the PDF conclave buckled down at DC's Artomatic to film our submission for Burning Man this year. Between 9 and about 12:30 last night, we fought back the impending rain storms and everybody's nerves at being recorded to do about three takes of the full choreography with a kick-ass building in the background that had a gigantic neon sign that said "ART" on it--needless to say, I'm a big fan of our setting :)
Big thanks to everybody who threw down last night, from Ludent who drove hours to drum for us to Kip and the camera crew, Mer, Sandy, and all the other photographers who I'm sure will be sending us fabulous photo documentation of the process and performances.
Finally, big thanks to Eileen for running practices and composing most of the choreo--I know her nerves were worn down bare by the end, but I really think you created something that we're all going to watch and adore and god only knows you had more patience for peoples' crap (including my own) than I would have.
I'll post a vid when I have it :)

A blast from my past
Last weekend at PDF, Ian (Imperial) and myself collaborated on some poi shots for Abject when he was set up near PEX the final night of the event. He'd mentioned that the shots would be up in a few days and I just went to check. While our shots are not up yet, I did stumble into something that hit me with a major flash of nostalgia:
Abject was apparently set up and taking pictures the second night of the burn at Burning Man 2006. This is exciting to me because this was the first Burning Man I ever went to and in fact this very night at Hookah Dome was my introduction to both poi and firespinning--I'd never seen either one before.

There were two fire dancers in particular who caught my eye that night (ironically enough, neither spun poi--one was a hooper and the other a rope dart artist) and when I get the time I'd love to see if Abject caught any shots of either one in here.
