Nothing good ever comes from hanging out with normal people.
quote:Then goes on to say
The guy who, I think, was the major hand in orginizing this show was running around before every one went on making shure every one had a spotter.
quote:Are you following this?
The group that I perform with had already, before hand, devised a way to take the exess fuel off our wicks as not to rain fire on the audience or burn down the bar.
quote:Are you still reading all the words?Did you follow them? Did you catch the part when he said that the organisers checked if everyone had a safety? From this did you perhaps draw the conclusion, like every other sound minded person did, that everyone present answered in the affirmative and therefore the show went ahead?Did you read how Mr Puppy's troupe had worked out their safety regimes/tactics before the show?DId you happen to notice how it said "this guy gets up"? Not "my friend gets up" A guy. As in someone unknown. Someone not attached to puppy in the slightest. Did you glance at the part where it says
Then this guy gets up and does his act, a poi/fire breathing/torch spinning deal. On the first spin fire goes every where. They had left the top off of thier container of white gas and that shit went right up in flames. And guess what, NO FUCKING SPOTTER!!!
quote:As in puppy's friend raised the alarm because no one else had noticed. Not the guy on stage or anyone else from his group.Did you read any of that or did you just put your ranting hat on and decide to abandon the facts in order to have a good whine?Did you also skip school the day they did paragraphs? You obviously wanted to come across as the sensible, knowing one in all of this. But you've just come across as the boorish, insensitive, ill-informed, arrogant idiot.Maybe Puppy made a mistake in performing in that venue. With it's low ceilings and obstacle strewn stage. But i'm guessing he made a judgement call. And from the sounds of it the promoters (who still aren't Sickpuppy no matter how much you shout) couldn't find anywhere else suitable.You said "I realy just want to call you names well I really just want to ..... No, I'm not stooping to your level.Apparently you edited that message as well. I'd hate to see what nonsense you took out. Maybe that's when your reasoned argument fell by the wayside.And, as you seem to be aquainted with a lawyer, perhaps you would be so good as to ask him how much trouble you could be in if sickpuppy sued you for the libelous and slanderous remarks you made against him.I can't believe how angry your post has made me.Unbelievable.This message has been edited in the name of taste and decency.
Apparently the only reason they even noticed was that my good friend's boyfriend (a poi master visiting from San Francisco) was screaming "SAFETY!! SAFETY!!" at the top of his lungs.
Meh
Laugh while you can, monkey-boy

quote:awesome people, and very helpful to new fire performers in denver.
Also the COFT has links to safety on their page
quote:*hangs her head in shame* Definitely something we over looked. But will never over look again.... *** The day I decided this is something I wanted to do i looked all around the web for information... I have found the best information here (HOP) on safety and fuels i find myself reading and searching this board quite often for information... Though i do respect that not everyone will have the same opinion as I do, it bothers me that a thread posted about safety could have turned in to a name bashing game. IMHO i feel what one was trying to get across would have been more appropriate if one was trying to make their point heard instead of trying to sound like a know it all... Im extremely new here, and am probably stepping out of bounds with this post, and for that I am sorry, but i will not let people down right bash my friends in order to make themselves appear the superior.. I feel you had some good points, but they were taken the wrong way due to your total disrespect for the obvious. Thank you to all who took the time to thoroughly read what Sick posted... I appreciate it...[This message has been edited by Neph23 (edited 15 December 2001).]
Also, another point is to always check out the venue you are going to perform at, preferably doing a lit practice run during the day or some time where there aren't others around.

Well, shall we go?

We are all in the cosmic movie. That means the day you die you watch your whole life repeating for eternity.

quote:4 in our group pluss one guest from CA... 2 in the other group..it was an event to promote local artists, good idea, bad location... Our group had at least two safety for every one performer....In this situation, one would think the promoters who were telling everyone how to do safety properly would in fact also be following their rules. All in all it was a shitty learning experience and we know what to look out for now. Learning from ones mistakes is never fun.. its quite humbling in fact. Once again, I do appreciate everyone giving their advise.. it will not be disreguarded..[This message has been edited by Neph23 (edited 16 December 2001).]
I gotta ask though... how many fire performers were there. And who's bright idea to call them all to an indoor location? AND WHY WAS THERE NO SAFTEY!

One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead men got up to fight,
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew there swords and Shot each other.
