Greetings - We are bringing some great talent to your city.... 4 days of classes and shows and more! We'd love to see some of the north Texas fire folks out here! As I only get to run into some of you at Flipside each year.... and yes there will be a fire performance!

To stay on the topic of fire... let me say we are offering some fire classes with Lorelei ...a featured member of Empyrean Fire Tribe.
