The Crucible’s Fire Arts Festival is only days away and we’re pulling 2pir out of our shop space at NIMBY to bring it out to the new fire arts arena in Oakland. You’ll be able to jump up on the platform and control huge flame effects with just a wave of your hand. Safe and fun for kids of all ages! The festivities kick off on Wednesday night (July 15th) and run through Saturday the 19th. Get your tickets now before they’re sold out and plan to arrive early to avoid the lines.

This fall, Dance Dance Immolation will be having a special run. While we’re very used to running DDI on the desert, this August we’ll actually be running on water for the first time! In addition, we’ll also be running on the other side of the ocean! Dance Dance Immolation is getting a passport and is going to Denmark for Smukfest in our first international run.

Smukfest is a 5 day music festival set in the woods of Skanderborg, Denmark with headliners such as Kylie Minogue, Fatboy Slim, The Streets, Aqua, etc. The multi-stage festival is set amongst trees, so at the request of fire officials we will be running away from such flammable objects. The best place to run fire art? On a raft in a lake.  We’re looking forward to this unique run, and even moreso to the chance to convince Kylie Minogue to give the game a try so we can shoot her with fire while she dances to her own songs.

Don’t forget that the Universe is being destroyed this Saturday at NIMBY!  Dance Dance Immolation will be running and shooting rivetheads in the face with fire.  Not only is it a night of good industrial music, fire, dancing and fun, it’s also a benefit for SRL’s Todd Blair.
