Sanchez Art Cebter -- Arts on Fire
April 19, 2002
This was the first time the firefall did a show
which had so many kids!
One of the best firefall experiences of my life!
Photos by Kiki.
I tried to capture some pictures from the kids' level.
These kids just blow me away!
They were so marvelous!
One parent said, "when *I* was a kid, my parents would have said,
'don't play with the fire!'
But here I'm telling *my* kids,
'hey, kids, come play with the fire!'"
Another parent said,
"we were going to drop in for 15 minutes at 7:45,
and here we are and it's after 10!"

Rick had shown up for practice for the ShipYard Power Tool Drag Races,
and I told him about this show, so he showed up to take pictures!
Some really *excellent* pictures here!

Shackleton's Feast -- a ShipYard fundraiser
February 9, 2002
The ShipYard held a formal dinner for a fundraiser,
based on Shackelton's journey to the Antarctic.
Jim Mason hosted adn chilled his house to arctic temps,
and served a 3-course dinner there!
He had all sorts of SF luminaries serving the feast:
Larry Harvey, John Law, Chicken John, Michael Christian,
among many others!
The pump was still broken for the firefall,
so we rented a pump.
It was a tad bit smaller, but ran well!
Also, the firefall ran far more than it ever has:
almost 6 hours!
We threw a bunch of ice in it to keep the water cool!
What a fun night!

I only snapped a few pics.
I was out of batteries and couldn't get to my replacements!
The avi of the Cotton Candy member is sideways,
but worth tipping your head
She just looked so peaceful,
with fire tornadoes spinning in front of her!
