so, last saturday night a bunch of us got dressed up and went to the burnal equinox (flambe lounge) at whisper. it was super crowded, the music was pumping, and mayhem was in the air. nothing like a couple floors full of dancing burners.

we’d brought hoops, of course. really a ridiculous amount of hoops given the likelihood of space. though there were hints of possible space at first, the place was so packed that we were forced to just dance our asses off for awhile.  ah, the challenges of performing;-)

it must have been about 3 am when i could finally see space opening up in the corner. as it tends to play out in darkened rooms, the psihoops were the star of the show. the floor was slick from who knows what, but it was a fairly protected enclave, minimizing the likelihood of coldcocking some of the less than innocent bystanders. soon we had two willow whisps of colored light whipping around and a pretty dedicated crowd.

it has been fantastic watching the growth in skill, confidence, and pure fucking attitude in this group. everyone threw down. we owned that space.

i hooped fairy well, had a few good moments. but the psihoop was absolutely drenched when i had it. my jeans still have muddy half moons at the knees from dropping down to hoop on the ground.  i won’t even begin to talk about what happened to my shirt.

it was also, really, the trial run for dbug’s handcuffs as the prime hoop security measure. since we’d brought too many hoops, the cuffs could only be used to secure the psihoops. definitely need a small flashlight in the future to get that key in.

all in all a fun night. we all danced ourselves silly and brought a big dose of pain to the wanna-playa. just wait until you see what is in store for burning man.
