What we do in our free time
We cook sand. In the course of each show, we end up dumping a lot of sand and very small rocks into big buckets of water. We don't have enough sand to get rid of it after every show, so we have to save the wet stuff and dry it (it doesn't work to use wet sand for what we do with it). Thus, we cook it. Presumably there's a better way to do it, but this has the virtue of being fast. And does it ever smell delicious. Declan, if you happen to come across this, please know that we will replace your wok. Anyone reading this at home, be forewarned--sand and very small rocks do not get along with Teflon.
