Iowa State University Trip

It's a sleepy Monday after a long weekend of traveling and fire.  We had a 5-dancer show at the VEISHEA celebration at Iowa State University on Saturday night, and really had a great time on the trip.  

This is the second year we've performed at VEISHEA and this year the weather, despite forecasts to the contrary, was just beautiful.  The party was hopping, the crowd was really enthusiastic and the show was really well received. 

We did two sets, ending at around 3:00 am, and dragged ourselves back to the hotel room to sleep while the college kids continued to party.  (It seems they do it right, it Iowa.. :)  This type of event always has lots of other fun entertainment as well, and we got to see glass-walking, juggling, mentalism, fun with a tesla coil, and even chainsaw juggling between sets.  I loved being a part of such a wacky show!

Got home a day late, due to missed connections at the airlines, and not all the dancers have made it back yet but everyone is finally aboard a plane and on their way back to the Bay Area.  Trips like this fill me up at the same time they tire me out.  I'll be sleeping really well tonight.. but I'm glad I did make it back in time to take a nap before performing at the 4/20 party for Harborside Health Center tonight.  (Oasis Nightclub in Oakland!  We're at 9:30 and 10:15, come on out and don't miss us!)

San Francisco State AIDS Awareness Day

Today we're doing a fire show at San Francisco State University for their AIDS awareness day.  We've performed at this event the last 2 years as well and it's always a lot of fun.  The student organizers do a really great job, and despite the bright sun (never a fire show's best friend!) the crowd always seems to enjoy our show.  

This year we've added a whole bunch of new acrobatics, especially during the fire eating routine.  Here's hoping it's not too windy!  Eating fire while standing on someone's shoulders can be slightly problematic in a stiff breeze ;) and yesterday's windstorm was pretty intense.  Well, I will do my very best.   Come on out and see us, if you can make it!  1:16 at the Student Union.
