Friend of mine, Captain Ping. It's an 85 with a Tiico conversion.
He lives in SF.

Had I gone to BM this year, I would have stayed in his camp, as I have in
previous years.

BTW Chris (the owner) does some amazing high tech art displays both for BM
and the SF art scene. His last years one was 'Spin' a method of spinning
lights that were programable to you could display messages, pictures, and
moving animations.

Chris has been on this list at times.
