Probably not as far as others but I came out from Vancouver.
As far as not opening doors.
How comfortable are you walking around pulling on doors to see if they open to a place you have only been to once before in your life?
Were it a regular store, shop or some other form of place with at least an "Open" sign, then yes I would have tried the door with the sign that said open or come on in or something.
I am not sure what red door you are referring to, as I have only been there once. The one time I was there the garage type doors in the front were wide open and everyone I was expecting to see were pretty much congregated in that area.
Maybe there was something on the red door that I did not know existed, maybe it was even wide open, I don't know.
I don't search doors and buildings for entrances that have the appearance of being closed to the general public.
Just my take on it.

Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday.
Thanks Jodans for making the trek out, sorry that it wasn't more than you got... I did know Debs did go (Thanks Debs!)...
The last time we met, there we like 7 or 8 people who trickled in. Two topics were focused on, current and future Fire Dept. permitting and the Fire Jam. It seemed that more talk and energy was spent on the latter. We talked about other alternatives to either trying to continue fire performances under permitted systems at Salmon St. or in other places (parks, public, or private properties) to have the jam in another location. As of right now there is no 'open fire' at any parks without going through a Parks permitting system (like reserving the park for family/company/wedding parties... using the public park for a private event). It's still unclear to me what that involves since fees and insurance come into play. I personally haven't had time to go down to Parks and find this out. They have said there is a system for this and are clearing Salmon St. as an approved park.
At the last meeting people agreed to meet again (once a month) to keep this going. We hoped to share new findings in logistical Parks permitting or new locations to spin (several individuals were on the look out). I would have liked to have gone, and I hope to have some time soon that I can personally find out more information and share back with... but as of right this moment I couldn't do either.

Are people wanting to meet again, regularly for either of the two topics brought up at the first meeting?
