Dr. Megavolt party
December 29, 1999
Dr. Megavolt put on a party to "impress" the Burning Man folks. He was hoping to get a grant to build another
coil for this year's event. [He got the grant! :) Yay! ] He asked me to bring the firefall over. I secretly
noticed that a number of the folks stayed by the [warm] firefall instead of the [cold warehouse] Testla coil. :)

Greg Solberg took these with his digital camera.
My favorite ones are the more abstract space-looking ones in the middle!
Don't you like my hokey names for each one??

Photos by Scott Bartlett.
Slides taken by Scott Bartlett. Scanned on a flat-bed scanner, so that's why they're so horrible-looking.
Maybe that will spur Scott to get them *properly* scanned! :)
