By far the most impressive and short lived fire display this year at Burning Man 06, in my opinion. Created by Nate Smith, fire artist extraordinaire (www.fire-art.com), this display lasted only 10 seconds, but I got it on video- capturing the essence of approx. 250 gallons of fuel releasing upwards into the air- needless to say by hearing the audio- we were all impressed! Thanks Nate! By the way, "2BLEVE" stands for "2 boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions", can you tell?

    i gather you werent there... correct?
    the shock and heat wave alone was enough to scare people to the point of soiling their undergarments.

    nothing on video looks as "good" or feels the same as witnessing it in person. if you were there, you'd see what all the screaming is about. That thing set off a low pressure shock wave that could be felt 2 miles away!

    but thanks for your comment anyhow.

    This happened just after my wedding at the temple. It was amazing and awesome, and a fitting spectacle to occur unexpectedly at such a fine moment. I will never forget how I felt right then.
