Burning Man in Pictures XXXIX: Charnival, Night Three!

In our last installment, our heroes had met up with M, and gone on excursions with their new Manta Ray friend, ending up at night three of the Charnival.

Today, we continue to follow their adventures through the Charnival, starting with S and Splat playing FaIRE Hockey (not shown: FaIRE Zamboni):

Next the focus shifted to ‘Flaming Hookers’, which was a carnival game where you tried to get a ring on a string to sit on a hook on the main body of the device. The string was conductive, so when the circuit was complete, fire would happen. This is a story about this happening:

"Okay, let's try this again..."
“Okay, let’s try this again…”
"Okay, the ring almost caught..."
“Okay, the ring almost caught…”
"...the ring is on the hook!  Wait for it..."
“…the ring is on the hook! Wait for it…”

Finally, we’ll end off today with a video which we feel best captures the windy, dusty, fiery nature of Charnival. See how many of the exhibits you can name!:

Next time, more adventures and Charnival night four!
