Saturday night – Permits

woke up early under the bus.. crawled out , had breakfast then got to work.

First order of business was to finish rigging the fire .. Rebar did all the high wire stuff for that. Theres a SamStone at the top !

Our friends Danny and Aren came by for an early morning visit.. They are so great !

Today we had to get all three of Fluffy’s permits. First a Department of Mutant Vehicles (DMV) day permit, then a Fire Affects Safety Team (FAST) permit. Later on we went for our DMV night driving permit.. All three were fun. We got to see some art on the way over to DMV and while in line.

DMV day just checks the structure and operation of the vehicle. We got soem nice comments from the inspectors.. They said “it’s hard to do clouds well”.. and that we had done a very good job at carrying it off. Clouds are a common theme out here.. and they dont all turn out so well. We got through our day permit with the one request that next year we do more to disguise the front of the bus so it looks less buss-like.. duly noted. We got our sticker !

ext we had to get our FAST (Fire Arts Safety Team) permit to use our poofer. FAST says their job is to “Make Dangerous Art Safe”.. kinda like that ! I was happy that the Fire Inspector said that he was “lookign for things to nitpick about .. and couldn’t find anything ” 🙂 Made my day . I’m pretty proud of the system we built here.

Now that we could drive, we got to take in more of the sites. Lots of building goign on.. lots of it delayed bacause of the rain earlier in the week. Some great stuff !.. Most of it still under construction,
