*sighs* those were the days!!

I used to twirl at the Fire & Ice show every Sunday night in the 98/99 season.... I was the only firedancer in Whistler back then, aside from the few people I taught.

best of luck at First Night! give the creekside gondola a kiss for me, yeah?

swifty. if all goes well i'll be in whistler last week in january.

i can't afford to do another season so i'm settling for one f**king week

anyway, i'll pm you around that time to see if you fancy a spin while i'm out there - i'd love to do some fire in the mountains.

good luck on new years eve.

swifty: kero can be bought at the husky gas station, food plus in creekside and probably the IGA too. HOWEVER i really recommend against using kero. You're looking at -15 degrees celsius and the kero is gonna be a bitch to light. I know there has been some heated debates on here about white gas (colemans camping fuel) but given the extremity in temperature in Whistler, I think you'll be much better off using it. My experienced advice

thats where lamp oil comes handy... if you use a 50/50 thing of lamp oil and white gas it shall do the work... (well worked for me when i was spinning in snow last year...) its a longer burn and yeah.... why aren't there any snow on the mountains of vancouver yet??? as a citizen of vancouver and a snowboarder... thats just pissing me off... but oh well... ANYWAYS... yeah so use some lamp oil!

hrm... lets burn stuff.... jah!

thank again peeps lamp oil is so expensive though has anyone heard of "clear lite" it's a synthetic kerosene with no smell . burns great too
( it really does not stink!!!!!!!!!!)

i found it at revy i recomend it if you are performing in crowds (not to many chicks dig a guy who stinks like kero)

the stuff is made by ESSO i was thinking of calling them up to try and get a big barrel any bc 'ers wanna chip in?

nay who its to bad kero wont work in the cold cause i buy it cheap by the 10 gallon pale only $30.00 got a friend at revy

gotta run
