Hello Will very excited to read the book! My question however is about fire raves. How do you run them and what are your tips for making them the best experience they can be?
I’m one of the organising members of EA Dunedin in New Zealand and I’m planning on organising one for our group. I have a fair bit of experience organising bonfires/campfires but these tend to be the rather chill sort, maybe with a bluetooth speaker for some people to dance.
Bunch of questions: Feel free to just reply to whichever one you want and ignore the others :)
What are some key things to bring these to the next level? What’s an underrated aspect that people tend to forget about? What are the highlights of your night?
For example I’ve learned from organising house parties that it’s good to have the dancing area out of direct line of sight of the table with the food on it. So people dancing don’t get self-conscious about people just standing and eating and watching them. Any insight would be awesome (also welcome comments from others with fire-rave experience)!
To be clear—these are a part of my non-EA life, not my EA life! I’m not sure if something similar would be a good idea to have as part of EA events—either way, I don’t think I can advise on that!
Related to fire raves: Would you join community organized (fire) raves, say after-parties from EAG/EAGx or burner-style events? (Winking at the amazing EA Berlin community ;) )
(Or do you see a potential PR risk? Or would you not enjoy it as much with the attention you are getting? Would you join a masked (fire) rave?)
