39 viewsFireworks. Shot from across the river without a tripod, so the wonder is not that there's blur, but that there's so little of it.

35 viewsThe bonfire still burns at 7pm when everyone knocked off for the after party.
The NYFD never responded to the bonfire site during the time I was there. At least a dozen cops and a captain (I think NYPD captains wear white, to signify their virginal status) saw the fire and yet none, as far as I can tell, called it in.

34 viewsIs Paris burning? Maybe, but I think over in that direction lies the magical land called Queens. The last of the fireworks celebrate the arrival of John Frum. (He is Come!)

46 viewsNurses attempt to distract the cultists from my goal of building a runway and summoning John Frum. I shall quickly steal a cookie and leave forthwith before their sweet siren song stays me from my appointed mission.

43 viewsThe infamous red-cross nurses seek to lure cultists off to drain their blood by offering cookies as an inducement. Here you can see a cultist has been seduced by evil carbs. (White devils offering free white devil. Atkins would be so horrified.)

55 viewsThe NYPD is keeping us safe from the dangerous antics of costumed cultists. You never know where a suicide bomber will pop up. I feel safer already.

39 viewsOooooh, Wrestlemania! I'll get that red cross from you, my dear, if it's the last thing I do! There's no way you're going to build a runway and summon John Frum!

40 viewsHa! I have successfully stolen your red cross. There will be no runway and thus no cargo for you! Bwahahahahahahahahah.

78 viewsAt last, we have attained the promised land. But why does the promised land have to have so many steps to get back to street level? I mean, come on, cargo gods. My knees need a break.

69 viewsYes, children, that is the land called Manhattan where it is said that the residents ride around in machines powered by internal combustion engines. We are well rid of their kind here in our pedestrian island paradise. Even if we do have to wait for the Q102 shuttle bus.

28 viewsPark here for the Cargo Cult parade! That's right, folks, in by ten out by six for a measly ten bucks.
