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.

Counting down to 2012

Why do I have a funny feeling REM’s “It’s End of the World” is going to be played over and over again next year?  Alright, it’s just about that time, the BME New Year’s Eve party is just a few days away!

Now, the BME NYE Party, if it’s anything close to what it was like last year, will definitely be a blast.  We’ll have fireworks, food and drinks, and some of the most awesome people around.  Suspensions are going to be facilitated by Cere, as well as other qualified facilitators, so if you want to start the new year off by hanging from hooks, you can do it!  Now food and drinks will be provided, but just the bare minimum (burgers, hot dogs, soda, snacks etc) so feel free to bring along anything else you want.  There’s lots of room for tents on the property, and quite a few hotels just down the road near King’s Dominion (Just outside of Richmond, VA).

I’m off to pack up my bags.  I’m looking forward to seeing all of you there!

    Tried to buy some diablo jewelry and looked through nearly everything that hangs and I could not find a sing thing that was in stock, I even checked other sizes as I’m not above wearing dangly smaller sizes. No dice, so either your site is glitchy or everything is sold out. Could you either fix the site (if it’s glitchey) or perhaps mention if a certain product is completely sold out? Perhaps take the product down or just mark it as “SOLD OUT”.

    I think ammre is right about the site being glitchy, every thing that I click has that “Sorry, we’re out of stock” red text on it. Oh well, I’ll just pick up what I need on new years.
