There are still two nights left for you to attend the Fire Arts Festival at the Crucible on 7th Street in Oakland.
DESCRIPTION: An incendiary and landmark exhibition of fire and light artistry at The Crucible’s industrial arts facility and a 100,000 sq ft outdoor Fire Arts Arena in West Oakland! A wealth of workshops, classes, lectures, exhibits and stimulating demonstrations culminating in one night of artist lectures and three nights of ground-breaking art and mind-blowing performances – different performances each night!
I’m planning to be there Friday night. If I can shoot some decent photos and video, I’ll post them here later. It costs $20 to get in Friday night, but you get a $5 discount if you are in costume.
The schedule for Friday night is:

This event was totally excellent! Now we need to get some stuff like this happening in Vancouver.
Did you get some good images and video?
Unfortunately, all I had was my Treo, so the photos aren’t very good. I posted them in my review of the festival.
The best photos I found were on Tribe.net. If you aren’t already a member, sign up and search for the Fire tribe. Then, go back through the discussion topics a couple pages until you find a post on July 11. Scroll to the bottom to find the links.
Oh, I forgot to mention, the Luxotica website is awesome. You’ve got some great photos.
Two of my friends are moving to the Okanagan valley. I’ll have to coordinate a visit to see them with a fire spinning event in Vancouver.
