fire should be wild.
pet fire, i dunno.
i think i know better ways to waste fuel.

Oh I definitely know better ways to do fire. But I'm not sure I know a better way to sit around and converse with 6 friends!

I want to hang with all of you in one of these that seats 30,000.

Holy Crap. I was just at that site thinking about how wonderful that fire would be with friends and a keg. We used to go camping for weeks at a time and that kind of fire in the round was the center of our Lakeside living room.

we need a walk in fireplace
with a huge roasting spit
or a lodge

::tries to imagine how big the fire would have to be so the circle could seat 30,000:::

How much does that contraption cost, anyway?

and does it spin?

And could it rotate slowly like a rotating restaurant?(there's one in Times Square that I've been to for drinks- very sleek and romantic-like, but I think it gave me a headache)

and that's when the drinking game kicks into overdrive.

I've been to a few firesfire big enough for 30,000 . And they have all been PFC - pretty fucking cool.

PFC
is this more office jargon?

Ah, I've spent much of my life around a campfire. BUt I don't think they need to be brought into the house. Half the magic is being without a roof.

(Are there 30,000 at Burning Man?)

Starry summer night? Warm communal fire? Have a bit to drink? How long will it take 'till the buns sneak off to the bushes and snog?

PFC - pretty fucking cool.

I dunno. I cuss at the office. You?

What do you mean "more?" Have I been boring you with office-speak? God forbid. Please smack me if I do.

(Yes, TPS - there are more than 30K at BM nowadays, and most of them turn out for the "burning" of "the man" on saturday night)

Wow, I didn't realize it was that big.

How long will it take 'till the buns sneak off to the bushes and snog?

We have to make out in the bushes now? The best part of camping is the fire-lit game of spin-the-bottle. Who's with me?

a merry-go-round for devil worshippers?

and, for something not awesome and completely fake-looking ; >

That fire merry-go-round would look great in my conversation pit, but I'm afraid I'd have to take out the avocado shag carpeting and huge olive sectional couch.

Which is to say it seems like its overdesigned and way too specific, and even cumbersome. I think I'd rather hang up some trapeze chairs on rolling tracks or something. Or just nice, functional chairs.

One of the things the design fails to account for is how to get closer or farther away from the fire. Also, where do you put your drinks?


Black Rock City, the rather well organized tent/RV/dome radial-arc-street structure that surrounds the actual "man" icon at Burning Man, is something like 5th or 6th largest city in Nevada when it's populated.

It's hugenormous. I hear it's just about physically impossible to see all the art, events and installations in the one week it exists.

i'm all for trapeze chairs
but i picture something more Auntie Mame third act
or hovercraft chairs

then we open the casino below us

This looks fun. (from the designer's personal site.)
