oakenguyLast night was a get-together for folks interested in fire dancing/fire spinning. (On good Thursdays there's fire, on bad weather Thursdays there's socializing at a pub. I like it.)
Even by *my* standards, it's a wacky group of people. There's a middle-aged voiceover artist, a web designer who just moved here on a whim from Oregon, the voiceover artist's daughter who's a bike courier and radio station intern, and a woman who couldn't make it because her neuroscience work was taking a lot longer than she'd expected.
At one point, the folks on both sides of me were talking costumes: the Oregon woman's housemate is a costumer who works mostly with liquid latex and feathers: she says she'd love to make outfits for fire dancers to make them look like lizards or birds. The voiceover artist has a number of NY friends who love dressing up in giant bear suits and roaming the streets in mobs (she seems to be totally unaware of either the furry or gay male Bear subcultures, btw)--she was talking about organizing a huge bearsuit-manufacturing party. Liquid latex lizards or four-layers-of-fur bearsuits, oh my.
