Pandora’s Matchbox is Open
Tonight our fire spinning troupe had its first performance since choosing a name, “Pandora’s Matchbox”. We have a few friends who work for Opera Theater St. Louis, and tonight was a big cast/crew party. Each time they have a party, a different department is responsible for planning it, and each department tries to upstage the previous party.
Our friends in wardrobe, Barb and Caroline, were among those responsible for this party. They arranged for a DJ, good catering, plenty of booze, and they asked if we would spin some fire. We were plyed with food, booze, and monetary compensation for fuel use. Of course, they really had to twist our arms to come out and play with fire.
Nearly everyone in the group was able to come, and we had consistent fire for a few hours, with all sorts of interesting new toys, including a set of poi so big and scary that Leef, the operator, said that he felt like he was within the bowels of Hell itself. In fact for a moment the fire was so large that he was completely obscured from view by the towering wall of flame.
Of course, the crowd loved it.
All in all, we got lots of great feedback, yummy food, and we had a lot of fun. I think the next department is going to have a very hard time topping this party.
Pictures are forthcoming!
