Put The BURN Back in Burning Man!!!

[sparklefairyprincess]

I saw a lot of rainbow blinky lights everywhere, in fact so many that it actually hurt my googly little raver eyes... Honestly... I could have done with a lot less rainbow blinky lights, and seen more FIRE!!!!! I felt like I did not see enough things on fire looking out across the playa this year. So a big shout out goes to the Steampunk Octopus art car, for spouting fire from 9 different orifices, and the Trojan horse for giving us a show as good as watching the man burn down (and Flaming Lotus Girls, of course!!!). There was not enough Fire Art I felt... too many blinky lights! Seriously, how many art installations on the playa this year were constantly flaming? Not enough. And where were all the random fire spinners? Sure, there are plenty fire spinners AT burning man, but not enough lighting up! I swear my friends and I started way too many fire circles... all it takes is one person to light up and BAM! 25 fire spinners suddenly creep out of the dance floor to light up too... so I saw dear black rock citizens... lets put the BURN back in Burning Man!!

Maybe LED prices are coming down. Fuel prices are certainly going up. Now, I know some pyros who are not going to be dissuaded, but economics does effect our city.
And good on you for bringing the spinners out.

Did you see the flaming skeletons riding a tandem bicycle around the playa? The actual rider was dressed in black and invisible from a distance. Behind him were two skeletons on fire, pedaling with flaming legs moving up and down with the pedals. From a distance, all you could see were the two flaming skeletons. Very cool, and first time I'd seen anything like that.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed my/our work sparklefairyprincess and stoked you want more fire and fire spinners. As we aim to please you'll love what we have in the works for next year! Stay tuned for more details as they are solidified from our imaginations.

The number one question I got for the car this year was.....does it shoot fire?

So, sparklefairyprincess, what Fire Art did you build and bring to the playa this year?

I would love to see it!

My flame effects skipped a year as I had to do some mechanical repairs of other stuff but they will be back for 2012.
I like lotsa blinky stuff too

I blame it on the rainbow man.....his multi color confused me at times as I tend to naturally use it as a center piece to find my way around.
I noticed lots of fire this year, the Thursday CORE project burns was pretty rad.....don't think Ive seen anything like that in my 6 years. My old camp for the first time had a large fire sculpture in their esplanade playground (Cosmic Recess) So I feel like I saw a lot.......But still, you can never have too much FIRE art...

It seems like the more LED stuff that technology comes up with the more craZy light shit we see. So yeah I also blame it on technology. I actually really liked that pink and purple wavy laser flower thingie that was fun to ride your bike around, between 10:00 and the temple and man out there. But my fav thigns are always fire. I liked the big cauldrens around the man all week. The man doesnt always have stuff like that......

I did not have the funds to build any fire art instillations, but as I said before... I started countless fire circles/jams at many of the large sound stages every night. There would be like no one spinning fire until my friends and I showed up. As soon as we lit up, all of the fire spinners who were there and not spinning fire decided to join us. I guess you could say we were the push that came to shove the other fire spinners into actually spinning fire... rather than just having the fire toys on them and not using them. We provided fuel to many fire spinners who had toys but no fuel to light up.
