BoingBoing pal and robotics aficionado David Calkins says:
Awesome fire show in San Francisco, tonight only! Flam Chen really do travel all over the world. They’re doing a once in a lifetime show tonight, Friday June 27th at 8:30 PM on Toxic Tire Beach for a scant $10. “Flam Chen creates unique panoramas of spectacle and narrative- Performers spin Balinese fire chains, combat with fire staffs and flaming swords, dance with fire fingers and fire fans, eat and breathe flames, and light costume pieces, sculptures and very often the set itself ablaze during the course of the evening. ” This is a real fire show with a real fire permit from the city. I had the great pleasure of seeing their rehearsal Thursday night, and you can see their one-time only show tonight. It ends by 11, so there’s still plenty of time for Tiki drinks at some seedy bar I wouldn’t approve of. Surely to be a spectacular among spectaculars, Flam Chen will present a stunning rendition of their classical outdoor Show, Ling Ling, before a teeming audience of amazed and enchanted men, women and children! The Show is at Toxic Tire Beach, which the city knows as Warm Water Cove. Just up from Cesar Chavez off of 280 at the Terminus of 24th street, just off of third (MAP). Bring a picnic and watch the sun go down, then Be Amazed as this lively venue provides a shining example of the phenomenon of Live Entertainment! 8:30-11, sharp, so arrive on time.
