Dear incendiary creatures --
This is a call for all fire badasses who are in the NYC-area, and those from out of town who happen to find themselves in the dirty apple.
On the evening of the 14th of July -- there will be an explosion of color, sounds, glitter, all streaming into a street procession.. in Brooklyn.. in Mad-hattan.. into the subways.. and onto sandy shores. Hard to describe, but a video from last year's event will be busted out on this site soon:
www.thedanger.com
This special night is conjured up by an alliance of brilliant NYC-based artist groups such as The Lady
Circus, Rubulad, Madagascar, Rude Mechanical Orchestra, TheDanger,
NonsenseNYC, Rant Rhapsody, Winkel Presents etc...
It's going to be beautiful, insane, and pretty much blow all yr circus minds.
Does this resonate?
contact me directly ASAP, so i can give you the glorified lowdown.

Re: One Night of Fire | NYC | 14th of July, 2007 [Bastille Day]
Wed, July 11, 2007 - 8:55 PM
It starts with a spark.
Our best moments are ignited by simple ideas. You are
invited to be a part of a renegade parade of guerrilla art
and performance, spontaneous acts of kindness and
indelible moments of beauty. In this era of conflict, One
Night of Fire is our indulgence in the best we have left.
One Night of Fire
This Saturday, July 14th, 7:57pm
Details: www.thedanger.com
Fire is our metaphor for the blood and fervor that this
city seems to celebrate and choke with every passing
moment. Dozens of artists and performers are collaborating
to create the experience we love: a free-form carnival of
decadence, risk and grandeur.
Expect: crews of drummers + stilt walkers + fire spinners
+ renegade aerialists + fireworks & rocketships + gifts of
liquor + brass march bands + a liberated water-front + the
unending spectacle of sparks and flame shining in the
faces of you, me and a thousand of our friends.
In an era of darkness, we light our own flame.
The Theme: Fire. Liberation. Paris, July 14th 1789,
but this time it's the battle for Brooklyn.
Dress: In white (the more costumed the better, you are the
Angels that keep this city alive and untamed.)
Bring: Drums, Parasols, Refreshments (discreetly), Music,
Gifts to Share, Friends, Lovers and your Metrocard.
Cost: Absolutely Free.
The Start: We will meet at sunset (7:57pm sharp!) on
Saturday July 14th, rain or shine. The location will
be posted Friday after 3pm at: www.thedanger.com
The Renegade: The soul of this event is that we don't ask
permission to host it. In the past the police have worked
with us politely and we have returned the favor by
respecting them. Please, watch for yourself and others.
Be respectful and don't do anything that you'll regret
when you're 50.
On the website we have an amazing new video from last
year's Night of Fire. If the video is slow or choppy, try
the YouTube version by following the link below. While
you're at it add a Digg to help increase the exposure.

If you want to be involved in making this event happen
join us for the final organizing meeting Thursday. We are
looking for more drummers, flag bearers, projectionists,
body painters, acrobats, brass band members, stilt walkers
and anyone who is interested in seeing an event like this
come together from the inside. There is a role for everyone.
