No.

Live a little.

Just go do your thing. As long as no one who doesn't want to is getting hurt and you don't burn down the place.

Beg for forgivness, don't ask for permisson.

It's all been done before. Just make sure you're 25 feet from any tents or structures and someone on safety (preferably with a fire extinguisher, but a wet towel at the very least).

I recommend Duvetyne or Commando Cloth instead of the wet towel.

Wet towels get muddy real fast on the playa.

wet towels should never be used. Damp towels are what they mean.

Light up and spin...this is burning man dude.

Actually there are pretty strict rules against fire directly on the playa. You can damage the playa surface. Major fire effects need approval (right Doc?) So it's not a dumb question. Fire poi? No problem. Fire flogging? (I don't really want to watch the videos) - should be fine.

Just remember, safety third. Don't be stupid and light something on fire by accident. No fire poi in the tent. No fire flogging in the porta-potties.
