Posted project update #13In The Red - FLG Fundraiser on Dec. 3rd
Post CommentBurning Man is long past; we're all dust free and IN THE RED (despite all of your kind donations and support that helped get Tympani Lambada built and to the Playa, for which we are truly, truly grateful). Yet we're still up to our lipsticked lips in debt! "Big Art is not cheap," to quote our fearless leader, Margaret.
Therefore, the world-renowned fire art sculpture mavens, the Flaming Lotus Girls, announce an evening of art and revelry:
IN THE RED - Flaming Lotus Girls Gallery Show
Saturday, December 3rd @ SOMArts Gallery, 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 6:00PM - 2:00 AM. Free to attend. Donations encouraged.
You need more art. You want the Flaming Lotus Girls spread across your wall, 24/7. Yes you do. And so do your friends. Come to our photography show, buy our signed archival prints and have a damn fine evening of dancing with Ambient Mafia and the Space Cowboys DJs.

commented on a project updateWe're at 5:00, 1800 feet from the man (I think that works out to ~500 feet from Esplanade, but can't find the email that translates that)... It'll be hard to miss - most likely the tallest thing around!

Posted project update #12Erection Success!
Well, we wanted to keep it a surprise, but everyone is soooo excited and posting to their FB and such, so I just couldn't stop myself.
Here's a look at the 1st two arches assembled on the Playa. Reports are the 3rd arch is up and standing as well... It's gonna be grand.
See you in the dust, or on the flipside... If you can't make it we promise to take tons of pix, so you can be there virtually.
Love and lipstick kisses from your exhausted but ecstatic FLG,
Sooz

Posted project update #11Greetings from the Feverishly Paced FLG!
Hello All You Lovely Folks!
Apologies on a bit of delay with recent updates; we're all working at a tremendous pace to finish this incredible sculpture for the Playa, and it's taking shape to be something grander and more phenomenal than our wildest dreams!
Here are a few pix to spark your imagination and show what we've been up to lately:
Alexander arch rises!
Tweener coping madness!
Truss welding!
Plasma cutting!
Saccule strategizing!
Massive amounts of grinding day and night!
Methanol fountain takes shape!
And, Button casting (so you can make fire, but of course)!
Thanks again for all your support - this would not be possible without your generosity and well wishes. We'll see you on the Playa. It's gonna be wonderous!!
xoxoxoxo
All the FLG!

Posted project update #10Over the Fence and Through the Goal Posts!
Post CommentWe were immeasurably honored (and quite thrilled) to have met our Kickstarter fundraising goal ~ and then some ~ last week. Your generosity and support of our project has been downright incredible!
On top of the ongoing efforts to actually get our sculpture built, we've been busy little kitties, working on finalizing the fulfillment part of this process. If you've become a backer of our project, please expect to receive a 'survey' from us very soon which we will need to have you fill out so that we can get you your goodies (i.e. we'll need a mailing address, etc...). The sooner we get that information from you, the better. We appreciate your patience as we do our very best-est to get things to you in a timely fashion.
But most of all, we want to say "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!" for your munificence and magnanimity towards helping to turn Tympani Lambada into a reality.
XOXO, The FLG Kitties
P.S. Thought you'd also like to see our beloved Buffy inside the Cochlear Fountain, aka "The Buffy Tube." It's gonna be great!
P.P.S. And, if you missed our deadline, there's still a chance to make a donation via our website: http://www.flaminglotus.com/donate/donate
P.P.P.S. And, for those of you who will be in the Bay Area this coming weekend (Saturday, 7/30), we are holding a 'pedal to the metal' all-out FUNdraiser event at NIMBY in Oakland, "Livin' la Vida Lambada". Please swing on by if you're in this neck o' the woods!

commented on a project updateDefinitely not winging it... Perfectly planned by our wonderful FLG Buffy, seen here welding (he had the thought from making his motorcycles) with help from the fountain gang to bend, tweak and fit together... Can't wait to see it finished (and with the fire, too!)...

Love it! Wondering how you managed that perfect spiral -- complicated measurements or winging it? Either way it's gorgeous!
