ALL THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2010
Full Moon Jams are a community event:  Fire Spinners from Chicago and beyond
gather together, with the passion filled music from local drummers to share
with you their combined passions.  The result:  an evening of beautiful
flames, dances, music and laughter.

The jams always start around the time of the sunset. and always end by
10:15pm.  Everyone must be in their cars and out of the park by 11:00pm.

Jam happen rain or shine... but please know that these events, despite their
size, are informal in many ways.  No one fire spinner or drummer is required
to come and share gifts at the jam.  Thus.. sometimes there are less
drummers and sometimes their are less fire spinners.  This is just how it
is.

If you are a fire spinner and are not on the Chicago Fire Tribe email group
... please email chicagofiretribe@gmail.com and introduce yourself, so we
can add you to the list of fellow fire friends here in Chicago.

The Jam is open to everyone and anyone.  It is a free event and will
continue to be.  This event is NOT organized by the City of Chicago.. it is
put together by a community of fire loving friends.
