Hey yall. Just sending out a heads up for an event rapidly converging for February 24th. Its an all night Mardi Gras Burner Ball to be held at the Beautiful Acorn Theatre in Three Oaks, MI(www.acorntheater.com/) about 75 minutes from Chicago/3.5 hrs from Detroit near Lake Michigan. This event sprung up from the Great Lakes Regional Burner list(go to groups.google.com/group/Lakes-Of-Fire to join if ya want, we'd love to have ya). We wanted to throw a winter event that would draw people from all over the midwest and thought the Acorn which is between Detroit and Chicago would be perfect(esp. since the owners are Burners!). Anyway we have been reving up the plans and lots of great things are happening. Lots of great creative people have gotten involved and the energy is already alive. I can feel the vortex already beginning to open! If anyone can make it we are having an organizational meeting at the Acorn on February 18th at 8pm.There is definitly room for creative contribution so if you want to get involved please jump on the Lakes of fire email list at the link above. More info to follow, I just wanted to get up a post so people can save the date. If you have ever been to the Acorn you know what a perfect spot this is for a party. Hope to see ya there
