Burners spin out-of-control party

You missed one hell of a party if you weren't at the Zephyr on Saturday night. Controlled Burn danced their butts off and then the Hot Mamas actually showed their butts (and other assorted body parts) during the contact fire dancing performance. Needless to say, it was a lot more nekkedness than I was expecting when I wrote this story. Anyhoo, it was a fun time, the folks raising money for their Shiva Vista performance stage made a lot of money, and I have some fun photos of the portion of the night where people kept their clothes on.

If you missed it, don't worry, more Shiva Vista fund-raisers are planned, and Ryan Ostler told me Saturday night that the (much more family-friendly) Artown shows are good to go.

























This photo shows the fire "talon" tower, one of four that will be a part of the completed Shiva Vista stage. It shoots fire 25-30 feet into the air, and if that doesn't sound impressive, I can tell you it lit up the entire block like it was noon.
