Hula hoops with fire, pouring molten iron onto ice, and kickass pink boots

And that was all on Friday night! 

It was the kickoff party at the Museum of Glass for Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month.  Some nice "vintage" logos.

And the hula hooping?  Fire and LEDs!  The girls were amazing!

This is an example of what they were doing.

And then there was the Fire and Ice brigade from Tacoma Community College.  They had an iron smelter on the plaza outside the Glass Museum, and poured molten iron on huge blocks of ice.

It was astonishing to see the results.  One very well dressed woman asked one of the smelter/pourers "how long will this be here?" and unbidden, sprang from my lips "... about 30 minutes..."  I don't know if she was drunk, oblivious or had an attack of teh stupid.

My friend and collegue Pat showed up with her husband and she gazed longingly at the hula hoop action, convinced that it would be a great stress reliever.  But who needs a stress reliever when you can show up at an event with kickass pink boots and a bedazzled Harley hat?
