Main Street trees ready for the big display
A week ago, the trees were hanging onto their leaves, and last Friday, the "Lights On" crowd didn't even need a coat. The turn of the weather on Saturday night might feel more seasonal, and the inversion can go any time, but it sure was an easy transition to winter.
More from the metal and rust series
When we went to Fremantle, Western Australia in August 2004, we (R, Bryan and I) toured the HMS Ovens Submarine. For the life of us, we could not figure out what an ovens submarine was. It isn't, it's just the name of the boat. Nice tour from an expat Brit who served on subs. Did not know how much Australia suffered in WWII until we went down there.
Co-producer of What Lights Nate? Pat McMurtry
I found out about this movie screening via a postcard with a scribbled note from Pat on the back. It said, "Ann, you will love this" with all the certainty and enthusiasm we who love Pat have come to count on. He was right, and he didn't even mention the drumming that followed the pyrotechnics.
Post-film demo of Nate Smith's fire vortex machines
Thanks to co-producer Pat McMurtry for the front row access at the city library. Nate pioneered the technology to make three story tall vortices of fire and starred in an indie documentary on creating them at Burning Man 2005. Despite the high winds, the Salt Lake City Fire Department let Nate perform his demo in the Main Library plaza after the premiere of the film. I'm sure this documentary will be coming to DVD soon, no doubt to finance next years Burning Man production.
