NEW YEARS 1999

El Mirage Desert
...the Left Over Crew

Our improvised mascot... threw him in the car at the last second
Ah, 'Vanna White'....I think this one was Shady's idea. He "borrowed" her from work. Pictured here with Stu who I met Burning Man 96
"It's so good to be with you tonight....You want an F? Yes, there's one F...
...you want to buy and I? One I...

...one R! and I think Mr. Fuzzy wants to guess....
FAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
But then something really awful happened
She was apparently made out of some sort of horrible plasticine substance....
...so not only were the fumes utterly noxious but she gave off this disturbing noise....
...it sounded like she was boiling. That sound will stay with me forever
Tano burns baby doll heads left over from Burning Man 97
Nathan
I don't rember what this was..it might have been John's lawn horse
Tano's best Hunter Thompson
Stu and I with some other revelers camped next to us...never saw them again
Fuzzy
Robin and Monkey Boy burn something else
Fuck you, 1998....Happy New Years
Fuzzy, Robin and Shady
This is the infamous What's Her Name. Everything she owned in black crush proof plastic bins. In all the years of camping I've yet to see anyone this ready for both camping and war. Never saw her again
bad baby....
...good horsie
Jungle Boy. Catching ashes in a cup
Monkey Boy and La Diva...and some other dude who I never saw again
Robin gets her implant from Shady
All that was left of Vanna...and a delivery from the Ice Fairy
Black helicopters already...and it was only the 1st of the year
Yeah, those are the black ones alright...
Drunk guy wants a cheese doodle...see two images over
Searching for my lost innocence...not that I lost it here but it was nice to see them making such an effort
I don't remember who this guy is but he was CRAZY drunk the night before and then vanished...I was so surprised to see him alive that I wanted to get it on film
Robin, Tano, Fuzzy, Marcel and Nathan joyously watch Shady doing something dangerous
Shady with a stick
I'm not sure exactly what Shady is doing here but at the time I thought it was interesting...
Someone started dancing around in some sort of Shaman's bear skin... I forget who it was but it was just random enough to warrant a photo
Ok, maybe it was Fuzzy. I think this is Fuzzy... not sure. What's her name in background reorganizing her implements for the third time that morning. She was then off to El Garage to injure herself on her own yert.
El Mirage
