Reply to comment by Extension_Flounder25 in Petition to bring fire and circus back to Gallery 5 by Extension_Flounder25

I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just truly am asking because I think I'm missing something very elemental: if G5 wants to do this, and the performance group wants to do it, and the city is not stopping them from doing it, then what's the petition for/about? It sounds like everyone is on the same page.

This is like me petitioning that the NFL play some football games this Sunday and someone put them on television.

... We're looking at a couple of options around G5, BUT as we move forward to organize bringing the fire arts back,we need YOU to give us some love to show how much this artform is appreciated (and missed) by the masses. We're looking at the usual 2 First Fridays of April and October 2023 to BRING THE FIRE BACK!...

I did not create this petition; these are friends and I'm just trying to help with something I believe in. My understanding is that this is primarily intended to gauge community support to best plan future events. I'd expect that the results are used to justify both the event happening and the amount of space permitted. While I believe that all major parties involved (G5, PLF, neighbors) are supportive, that doesn't always translate to a sure thing. This is a way to collect how many folks support fire arts at G5 and feedback from the community.
