The fifth annual Carnival Of 5 Fires event at Gallery 5 has been going on since last week, and there are only three more events left before it goes away for another year! We've already told you about what The Amazing Stage Show are doing there tonight, so click the link if you don't know (and do it quick, because that event starts in a mere couple of hours). But if that isn't enough for you--and why should it be?--there's plenty more happening before all is said and done.
First, tomorrow night, the Party Liberation Front will present their Pirates' Ball event. If you've been to a PLF event in the past, you know that their events can never be described as mere dance parties, and this remains true for tomorrow night's festivities. Not only will there be music until the wee hours of the morning, but you can expect all sorts of other delights to appeal to a multitude of your senses. There'll be video projections by Natural Science Productions, all sorts of acrobatic circus performers running around, and even a costume contest, featuring cash prizes and other awesome pirate booty! Costumes aren't required, but they're definitely encouraged--for one thing, they'll get you $3 off the admission price. And after all, what's more fun than dancing in a costume? Regardless of what you wear, though, be assured that there'll be plenty of dancing, with tunes provided by PLF DJs Mr. Jennings, Akasha, Reinhold, Michael NightTime, DavidM, and Danny Boy. Music starts at 9:30 and continues til bar o'clock, so be prepared to shake your ass! To top it all off, Tetina, the flame shootin' junkyard mermaid sculpture/percussion jam instigator, will be standing guard out front of Gallery 5 all night! This is gonna be a crazy party, so don't miss it!

Don't get too tired out by all the dancing you do at the Pirates' Ball, though, because there's still one more event left in the Carnival Of 5 Fires, and it's a humdinger! Voix De Ville Follies will be bringing its trademark mix of burlesque and vaudeville-style entertainment to the stage at Gallery 5, with the Cirque Extravaganza!
There'll be all sorts of amazing burlesque performers in the house that evening, including:
--The Muse, who will mesmerize you with her mystical moves
--Karma Jane, who will astound you with her aerial prowess
--Svelt Lana, who will confound you with feats of contortion wonder
--Indy Go-Go, who will enchant you with her lithe grace
--Cherrie Canary, who will entice you with her sumptuous gaze

Plus, special intermission contact juggler, Russell Harris! And your host, ringmaster extraordinaire Parker Galore!
