Lost all of my fire staffs after conclave on burn night

Post by Thrasher » Wed Sep 14, 2016 6:18 pm

I am a member of Hawaii Fire Artist. On the walk back from conclave on Burn night my entire bag of fire staffs fell off of our wagon. They were in a large gray folding chair bag. The bag has a blue rope treaded through the top sash and tied to the handle. The bag contained a brand new single staff (I believe it is 47") made with a wooden dowel capped with aluminum sleeves. It has 4" wicks, black tennis racket grip and red electrical tape on both ends. The bag also contained a pair of double staffs made with solid 1/2" steel conduit, 2.5" wicks and green electrical tape in the center followed by a white and black spiral. The final staff in the bag is a collapsible dragon staff. The staff breaks into three sections (middle grip with brand new EPDM grip and two ends with 4" wicks and spiral painted dots) and has 8 separate spoke wicks that screw into the staff. All of these components were in a green UH Manoa drawstring bag inside of the gray chair bag. The 8 wicks were in a purple crown royal bag inside of the green bag. I hope and pray that my babies can find their way back to me. Thank you!

Love & Aloha,
Micah

Hoping for them to reunite too! Knowing how fire dancers are...I can imagine the bag arriving in the mail and then Thrasher carefully sorting all the staffs out on the carpet and then curling up on the floor hugging them all for a while.

Thanks guys! Yeah there is always a strong personal connection between a dancer and their tools; especially since I built most of them. I have already contacted lost and found so I will stay optimistic! :) Thanks for the lead Maladroit!
