** Fire Spinning and Poi at Burning Man 05 **
---------------------------------------------
Here is my annual list of everything I could find in term of fire and poi spinning on the playa. Burning Man is HUGE and I’m sure I’m missing a lot of events.
I’m a big spinning geek (obviously), but NO, I’m not planning to attend all of these things. This is just an easy reference. I will definitely be at the Wed night jam at Hookahdome, though, since I used to camp with them.

Hot Sex
Jennifer Steele’s sexy fire show (This is an adult event)
“We were so happy with how things turned out in 2004, we've decided to step things up, because BIGGER IS BETTER! However, we felt there was too much talent that walked away with nothing, so we're going to give prizes to many categories, such as best technical spinning, originality, style, group coordination, and of course, sexiest. We're also working on providing a bigger and less slippery stage that will easily support stilts and larger groups. Any suggestions on how we can make this even better will be discussed on our camp messageboard. Please feel free to contribute, and thanks to all the amazing talent that performed at the 2004 event.”
