Do you dream of escape?
The heat of the summer has arrived. This Saturday we
offer you intoxicating music, immaculate spectacle and
indelicate dreamscapes within a renegade carnival of fire.
The weather reports predict this Saturday to be one of
the hottest nights of the year. They have no idea.
One Night of Fire
This Saturday : 7:57pm Sharp!
Meet in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge.
http://www.onenightoffire.com This fervent adventure starts against the most dramatic
backdrop of the world, between the steel peaks of
Manhattan and the broken streets of Brooklyn. And this is
only the beginning. We will be moving off the bridge very
quickly, don’t be late or you will miss us. If the
pedestrian walk-way is closed for any reason, meet in the
middle of Brooklyn Bridge Park at the foot of Main St. in
Dumbo, Brooklyn.
At the center of the Brooklyn Bridge Action/Direction will
be leading a tug-of-war between Manhattan and Brooklyn to
decide where the party goes next. No matter who wins, we
have an incredible plan filled with music, performance,
free drinks (bring your own and share) and a spectacular
finale.
This is a free, un-permitted, roving festival of music and
performance, flaming hula-hoops, melting ice cream, wanton
stilt walkers, battling brass bands, renegade sound
systems, fireworks & rockets, impulsive performance with
the calm of the waterfront against a city of dreamers.
Expect: heat + hedonism.
Dozens of dedicated event makers have worked to lay the
groundwork. But this night is about you. Bring your
performance, your music, your brass and bass drums, bring
your fire sticks, your stilts, public poetry and private
passions, bring your wicked delights and your wild-eyed
friends. You are the rockstar and the street is your
stage. This is the night you dream of.
Expect: risk + revelry.
This event is unpermitted. This is an open celebration of
liberation - of living life engaged and without apology.
We exist in an era of infrequent peace and unending
tension; this is our night for escape.
With that you should keep these IMPORTANT issues in mind:
- Pay attention to coaxers wearing white, they know
where to go and will be guiding you.
- Do not block the bike-path on the Brooklyn Bridge,
keep a lane clear for bikers and others to pass by. The
bridge is just starting point, the wild stuff comes later.
- This is your event as it is ours - this is a
community effort. Watch out for yourself and the people
around you.
- Leave no trace. Keep all garbage with you and
dispose of it in the proper place.
- The event will go late, but we also have several
after-parties including one at the infamous underground
location that starts with "R". If you don't know, ask
somebody.
You should bring: Your metrocard + small gifts and
tradeables + costumes of fire + discreet pleasures + body
paint + the spark inside you + the heat between us + the
hunger for adventure and the anything-goes.
This is it, meet us Saturday 7:57pm sharp in the middle of
the Brooklyn Bridge. Don’t be late. The sunset alone
will steal your breath. This is the start of the passion,
the possibility, TheDanger.com.
