This is posted on www.burningmanportland.com now, but figure most of you don't read it (I don't live near portland either). :) Still, you should all head up to the Salem area for this event - it rocks! It's a gorgeous piece of wooded area, and iirc, we're planning two fire performances this year even...

Hope to see everyone up there! --Crizzly (Ranger, fire juggler)
