In which money is turned into smoke, dust, blood
I’ve been cleared hot to spend some money for the enjoyment of Boomershoot attendees; in one case, you’ll see something this year: a different fireball! I’ll probably spend a couple hundred or so making this year’s fireball much more interesting. The smart money will be on standing back; I’m either going to fail spectacularly (spectators set alight, tents engulfed in flames), fail miserably (spend a bunch of money and have another sucky fireball), or succeed spectacularly (spectators almost set alight, tents almost engulfed in flames).
In the other case, we’re getting serious about building a production shed that’s wind and water tight. BATFE regulations require it to be 50′ from the Taj; this may make life harder, but it won’t stop the shed from happening. It would be nice to have all of the equipment set up year-round, without any breakdown beyond cleaning.; it would also mean we could work longer without being exposed to the elements. I’m picturing bar stools to sit on to make production more comfortable.
