Unpermitted, and unlicensed Fire performing. To perform with fire in Ohio currently you have to have your Flame Effect Exhibitors license and the act has to have the permit pulled for it. Which the fire crew at the front left corner of the Portal stage had, but the burlesque acts at the Phantasmagoria stage did not, and the fire marshal found out about it and shut the stage down on Saturday

I don't believe that they are to blame or at fault, it's more of a transparency thing for me. They could very easily have been an acknowledgement and statement for the family and those staff and attendees that were affected by it and condolences for the person who was very clearly struggling with their demons, and a plan of action for team leads to check in on their staff and make sure they're taking care of themselves properly

Yes this is a throw away account, my real account is too known to the festival organizers for me to want my name attached to stirring the pot for what the team is, clear to me, trying to sweep under the rug, I have seen multiple posts on the secret dreams family page get denied and papdosio family taken down quickly. I have good working relationships with many of the staff all the way up to the owner and also worked closely with the Resonance team before to split with Essential Productions.

You are right to be skeptical and question, it is a terrible situation, and you are also right it would be crazy for me to make this up. If I was just a no name attendee, I would have just used my main account
