Well seems as though I have been very silent here on my own tribe so I thought it was time to update on the fire happenings. Not much going on with Fire-flo but I have been very busy working with so many different groups that it seems that just being Cari is hard enough to manage.

First, I have been busting my butt for Flights of Fire up in D.C. So many wonderful things have been happening for Silver Raven and her crew. We performed on stage at the Virgin Festival (opening for the Police and Smashing Pumpkins) and even in the rain and 100 plus heat it was great fun. We also have been putting on a kickass fire show at the Palace of Wonders in D.C. It is a tight space where we each put on 3-4 choreographed/costumed pieces to flame or blacklight. It is so cool to see everyone's creative juices amped way up. Up on the plate is a blacklight peformance for Carl Cox at Buzz. Yeah man, did I say Silver Raven rocks!

And Richmond scene...let's see. Richmond really stepped up their game at the last Gallery 5 event. G5 Fire put on a show for a very large, traffic stopping crowd. I worked with Ignytor and Cway on a fire interpretation of Phantom of the Opera. I hope we get to use it again. Working with them went so well that there is talk of a new name...Fire Arati. I've also been working for Versifyre which included trips to Earthdance in Virginia Beach, Nostalgiafest in Petersburg and a Luau here in Richmond. On the horizon I will be performing for Lil Spit at Spiral on Nov. 10. Fire in the alley is a surprise presentation of fire theater from the deep and twisted mind of Lil Spit. I also have planned an interesting, hopefully uncomfortably edgy performance inside with the help of FreeFall.

Next year there is already in the works fire for Henrico County Park and Recs and a performance for the International Search and Rescue Conference in Appomattox.

So whether it is Flights of Fire, Fire Arati, G5 Fire, Versifyre, Fire-flo...one thing stays same...Cari.
