Posted: MikeGinny (Lightning) Welcome to SoCal Burn Saturday December 28, 2002, 7 PM - 9 PM The PozeeFire Stretch of Oceanside Beach 400 Block of South The Strand Oceanside, California, USA 92054
a casual burn gathering no provisions for tunes, food, drink we're gathering in the early evening to welcome MikeGinny of Home of Poi, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Santa Barbara, CA to SoCal, with plenty of time to go to other holiday pleasures after the burn, family, friends, dinner, parties.
many thanks to Joan and LlCoolPat for hosting MikeGinny in their homes during his stay, for hospitality from dulceflames & family, calvran, pozee & wink, who've worked to make his stay a happy time.
this'll be a truly warm & chill casual burn in the old SoCalFire visitor welcome tradition.

Posted: New Years Eve & New Years Day Burns
details, maps, contacts click here
how about a
(1) New Years Eve Together As One pre-party Burn?
who wants to burn near the LA Olympic Coliseum before SoCal's major New Years massive?
Tuesday December 31, 2002, dusk near the LA Olympic Coliseum
some of us are game to find a virgin spot and light up in celebration before the party. during Together As One, there's usually no fire at all, and if there is, it's reserved for pro's hired in advance by the promoter. you're not likely to be able to pass frisking & take any fire toys & fuels inside the Coliseum. but if anyone actually emails us in advance or far better, phones us, we could have a lil guerilla light-up, find somewhere cool in the area, while aware that both site & town security will be scanning around well before Together As One starts, to flush off bad elements who might prey on the 10,000 or so ravers that night. there are museum grounds and USC in the area, and no doubt we'll see public parks online or on Thomas Guides most of us will have along with us.
so this would happen only if we get enough RSVPs to SoCalFire411@yahoo.com in advance
if not, see you after everyone's New Years Eve parties, at
(2) New Years Day FirePlay LA Burn
Wednessday January 1, 2003, 8 PM - 11 PM West LA outdoors with dozens of SoCal pyros!
for directions, inquire from SoCalFire411@yahoo.com, phone FireMike at 949.643.1625, or try reaching FirePlay LA's administration via Bearclaw Manufacturing (pyro toys) at www.bearclawmfg.com. Fireplay LA has its own website, but ordinarily does not post event info there; the only venues and maps you're likely to find is for gatherings which are no longer active. it's our SoCal pyro family underground resource, so ask a pyro who know.
(3) Forest Tree Party welcoming fire arts Tuesday, December 31st, $15 includes Breakfast & the most delightful Psychodelic Music on earth. $5 from each person will go to the Musical Heritage Foundation for providing the land. You're welcome to come & set up camp during the day on Tuesday. Private Forest Location, Close to Home. Only 30 min. from LA (same place as Green Party)
Bonfires & Swami Dawg Chai to keep us toasty
JBL Sound By Brad @ Network 23((()))
Breakfast by Chef Manny If you can bring a fruit donation to add to the morning breakfast for everyone, that would be peachy. . .(apples, Oranges, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Strawberries, etc.)
Extensive DJ line-up featuring:
Daniel - a.k.a Lumukanda (Australia, Karelia of Finland) Pentti Slayer - a.k.a. Texas Faggott (Finland, Psy-Harmonics of Australia)
directions available on info phone lines December 30. this is underground family stuff, a New Year's option brought to you by SoCalFire's .fireproof who suggests that since it's so very underground, don't post it into more popular general lists. she wanted to share it with us, coz we're one big SoCal pyro family. share it with cool "psychodelic" people, & all pyros, direct to recipient.
want contact details? party host info? carpool maybe, enthuse about it? catch her at agobon@netscape.net, .fireproof loves knowing creative people. she's happy to report it's a forest party which welcomes fire arts, and has a bonfire to start it all off, and plans to be there in person spinning poi.
(4) tell us if ya know other pyro events for NYE just email us at SoCalFire411@yahoo.com, or phone in the 411 for our SoCal pyro family at 949.643.1625

Posted: SoCal pyro Marcy needs a new home in West LA (or nearby)!
About Marcy from Bash (Sebastian):
HEy folks.. hope everyone is having a great holiday! My good friend Marcy is on the search for a place to live. She's such a great girl, active in our little community and is really looking hard for some living space. IF your neighbor/roommate/uncle / whomever is moving out of a place, or there's a vacancy somewhere, please contact her. Oh yeah...HAPPY 2003!!!! ~Bash
Hey there people! Hope everyone is having a delightful holiday season! You guys all rock, but you know that. Listen, I am givin a shout out to all of you guys to put your ear to the ground for a place for me to live! I gotta get out of here pronto. Here is my roommate "bio" I am a 28 year old artist, I need something ASAP, preferably under $500 per month, preferably on the west side. I am laid back and fun, and usually busy on some project or another. I appreciate any leads you guys might have, I have been searching to no avail for almost three months now. So if you hear of anything please let me know! Thanks sooo much love you guys!
SoCalFire sez Marcy's a warm-hearted, sweetly dramatic fire-eating gymnast with a lotto flair who graces our fire scene all over SoCal. we'd all love to see her find a good new home!

Posted: Happy New Year, SoCal pyros & all who come to visit us this year!
New Years ushered another dozen pyros, mainly from Los Angeles, signing into our network.
& right now we're enjoyed a wonderfully warm stretch of sunshine every day.
we have word of many events coming up all over SoCal, yet we shall first be concentrating on preparing a more sound, inviting, and sensuously muscular core of service formats to serve you throughout the year, before turning attention back to publicizing our expanding awareness of pyro pleasures happening across SoCal.
may this year bring your brightest, tightest, and sprightliest fire nights & sunny days yet!
