I had a lot of footage from Firedrums that I couldn't get into the video I made last week, so I'm going to post a couple of the things that wound up on the editing room floor this week. Here is Alien Jon teaching a crowd of eager onlookers (including myself) how to create 6-petal antispin flowers out of pieces we're familiar with from box and diamond mode antispin flowers.

Here is a video retrospective of Firedrums this year featuring some of my favorite artists: Marvin, Yuta, Annetta, Valery, Adam, Kate, Noel, Memory, Bliss, Tash, Brecken, Thomas, Fyn, and many many more. Hopefully the utter thrill and joy of this event comes across here. Sorry for its tardiness--I had tried to edit it as a tech blog but found it worked infinitely better this way.

Yuta lights up at the first night of Firedrums 2010. A few guests pop by for some fun, but all told it's a pretty clean shot of him from start to finish.

Not the best angle, but also not bad given how much the crowd was moving. This was Ronan's second burn after I made it to the circle Saturday night at Firedrums 2010.

Unfortunately I missed the first minute and a half of this as it dawned on me that I should record Yuta's performance as well as sit agape watching it in awe, but I still managed to catch some highlights. This was an awesome routine and I'm really glad I caught any of it.

Over the weekend I made a trip up to Pittsburgh to listen to a good friend spin some sick dubstep and while there I got to catch up with a few of my very favorite fire spinners. Here's Chris Rovo throwing out some incendiary tech at the after party.
