Maybe something like any week day at dusk in front of the man (6 o'clock). A good central location and an obvious flexible time (for busy people without a watch).

sounds nice, like your suggestion

Hello from the Phoenix Projekt, the Scrappy-do of L.A. conclaves.
>
We are having an absolute blast forming our little family of fire freaks and figuring out our show. And as stated before, we really want to see what you all are cooking up as well.
>
And even moreso, we want to meet you. We want to create bonds and ongoing friendship with fireslingers from all over the world.
>
So come on over! Thursday night, after we all become world record holders with Ted's Oceans of fire brilliance, we'll be opening up our camp, (a subset of Freedom Community) to any and all fire people, especially those with FC shows. We're having a night for fire spinners, hosted by fire spinners, because of fire spinners. You're our favorite people, because you're like us. We get it.
>
After all the FC's have run their shows, we'll kick on the beats and have an open jam spin. We want everyone to spin. From the one who picked it up that afternoon to the baddest asses around we hope you to share whatever it is that you're rocking at the moment. We have connections to Lorin Bassnectar, The Breakbeat Buddha, OOAh, and a few other of the dirtiest Dj's on the Playa. We're hopefully going to enlist a few of them, so the music will be as hot as we are.
>
And we'd also like to address something that interests us greatly. The division within the fire community. We are all very conscious people, who study an art that requires a lot of soul to excel within, but yet we are mired in the same muck of cliquishness, pettiness, and ego that pervades the "real" world.
>
Why is there not one comprehensive fire tribe that we all check into to see what's new and important?
>
We believe we can choose to transcend that. And come together to advance our artform to the next level. We can share skills, safety ideas, business platforms, and everything else that we could ever possibly need. We can become our own best resource.
>
We can and do deserve to make a living doing this. There are enough possible gigs out there if we create as whole, rather than opposing factions. Fire spinning feels a lot to me like both skateboarding and snowboarding did a long time ago. And look at them now. I was once one of a total of four Boarders on Mt. Hood. If you had told me that it would be an olympic sport and a giant business, Well, I would have thrown my green rubber fishing boot at you.
>
Anything is possible. As this discipline grows, there will be hurdles. Some punk wil burn down a trailer house and blame it on the Mutaytors. If we come to together and set ourselves up to succeed, we'll succeed. I don't know about you, but I like success. It appeals to me.
>
So we'd like to offer the invitation to let go of past differences, to come together under the shared love of the baddest bitch ever,
Fire.
>
Welcome home,
>
See ya thursday.
