naw, but it could be fun to breath (not eat...well, except accidentally swalling the rum, not making a ready-made fire-pan for fire-eating)

hey firemike, yep i'm a fan dancer. i've been doing fandancing off and on for the past eight years. I originally learned how to dance with huge (four feet wide)ostrich feather fans from this odd but really nice fellow that i met down in olypmia. fire fans were the first fire toys that i learned a few years back through lots of trial and error. those are fun, difficult to build but worth it. i wrote an article a while back on it, i think it is in the other toys thread at the momment.
anyhow, glad you took the time to read the newspaper story, i'm pretty happy with it.

I'm glad to see the article includes a large section on safety.
My troupe did a segment for a local TV show on ABC in late June. We wound up giving over several of our 5 minutes of air time to talking about safety. Luckily we could do this while just talking over our images.
congrats on the publicity, and keep up the good work.
