I now understand why more people don’t wear christmas lights any chance they get. At first I just thought I was getting burned by the lights (they put out enough heat), and then I noticed that a couple bulbs broke and the exposed wires were hitting my skin. It took the rest of the set to extricate myself. Plus I blew up a soundmaker by shorting it with a contact mic. In addition to the burlesque, Crank and I snorted pepper in order to induce a sneezing fit.
