About the time the man raised his arms, the fire dancers began to do their thing.

They filled the space between the circle of onlookers and the pyramid with the man on it very well.

Things went quiet for a moment before the fireworks started.

About this time they let people get up and participate again. I threw my KKSF Earth Day T shirt on the pyre, because I didn't (and still don't) like what Clear Channel has been doing to them since aquiring the station.
