I was at the Otakon 2007, and was watching a panel discussion when a stage light caught fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx-RJRCJqU4

lol...thats funny.
I work with stage lighting and that was probably due to someone touching the lamp/bulb with bare fingers...the oils/grease from your hands will actually ingnite or explode (which is even more fun to watch) due to the high heat produced by these lights.
it sure took them long enough to turn the lights off too..glad nobody got hurt.
