i’d never been to camp meade// but you could tell this was Russ’s work. it really looked like a village !

first job was setup.. where do you put a 15 foot column of flame…hmmm.. under a tree ? no..

more hats 

 

my friend Seth and his friends were there.. and were HUGE helps to us. They helped with setup and safety.. it was so good catching up with Seth.. 

 

my freinds james and matt were next to me.. they had a very nice hand upperated poofer called ‘yankmy chain’ .. the crowds really loved it. .. james was ery helpful to me in the design and build of our new electric poofer. 

 

I started out  with my reubens tube and played a few sets of music through the fire. 

 

then I sparekd up my new poofer. it’s really got a nice flame..  .. the crowd seemed to really like it.. its a nice way to keep warm on a very cold night. you can feel the heat at 20 feet. 

 

here’s our burning man freind aron and his freind mary.. check out her bling !

 

I ran into SO many folks I knew from all over.. here’s my good freind Ann.  one of VT’s best sceince teacher.. and the mayer of our capital city Montpellior. 

 

folks really loved both of our flame toys..

jacks son Graham.. (as in graham cracker !).. shared soem of his smore with me.. 

then  jack was there handing out freshly shucked oysters !// interesting taste combo ! smores and oysters.. not bad.. but defintely bending the taste vectors
