Birthday Weekend Recap
A good weekend. Friday brought a number of people over to my place for a perfectly sized party. I’m not sure what the final count was, but it seemed like everyone was comfortable in my little studio. We enjoyed sitting and chatting, watching videos, playing with the cats (mainly bunki), shooting various people with squirt guns, and tying MFC up. As usual, Rubin has the photos.
Thanks for everyone coming out and hanging out! Was kind of weird to have not had a studio-warming party yet. Now that’s out of the way, and my place has never been cleaner! Oh, and by the way, I’ll have to have another party sometime soon, since overestimating alcohol consumption plus people bringing stuff means an excess of party supplies to be utilized.
Saturday morning (the actual day of my birthday) I was out of bed early to run down to the Box Shop for a Fire Arts class taught by Propaniac and Dave X. A great newbie intro to all the aspects of propane and building flame effects. All through class my phone went off with family and friends calling me, but I was learnin and couldn’t be interrupted! hehe Saturday night Heather and I ordered a bunch of delicious food from Little Star pizza down on the corner and stayed in.
Sunday was the second part of the fire arts class. We spent the day building a piece. I spent the morning learning to weld, and the afternoon running around doing various things. A video of the piece we built is below and pictures from class are here.
Sunday evening was a DDI meeting, and then the fire jam where I finally lit my virgin rope dart for the first time.

So all in all a good weekend, no candles, but plenty of fire to make up for it. 🙂
