A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

We’re doing it again!! BME NYE 2012!!

Back by popular demand is the BME New Year’s Eve Party!!!  As the weeks progress I’ll be able to share more and more information, but for now, here’s the stuff you need to know..

When: New Year’s Eve

Where:  BME HQ – Located close to King’s Dominion in Virginia (Outside Richmond)

Now, for those of you making the drive down here’s some things to know.  Camping is allowed on the property, however keep in mind it’ll be December 31st so bring a warm sleeping bag.  For those not interested in camping, simply look up any of the hotels near King’s Dominion and make a reservation.  Like other BME Events at BME HQ some food will be provided, although it will just be the basics, burgers, dogs, and soda.  If you want/need anything specific, feel free to bring it with you, and if you want, bring extra to share.

I’ll have more to share as the planning goes into full effect, but for now here’s a short video from last year’s party.

Please note:  Jumping into, through, or around the fire is strictly prohibited.  Which means I will NOT be doing a repeat of last year’s incident.

We’re looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, as well as any new ones, so mark off your calendar and make your reservations today!

    In case anyone’s curious, it’s not that we’re worried you’re going to get hurt and that’s why you can’t jump into the fire. Rob jumping into the fire was the reason we couldn’t have inflatable slides and bouncy castles at BMEFest, and that’s serious business.

    I’ve been waiting for this announcement! I am going to try as hard as possible to make it down for this to see everyone again. I’d really like to suspend again if anyone’s up for it.

    Hopefully we don’t get rained out again every night and can actually have a bonfire unlike July.

    I would love to finally go to a BME event. I’ve wanted to attend any of them since like ’03. If anyone is going from Michigan or a surrounding area and would be available to car pool I would love to know. 😉
