Burning Solar Scotty
I brought out two deep cycle marine batteries to power our awesome sound system and espresso machine. Worked out great! Wearing the shirt I made out on the Playa.

God
About 50 meters down, I found God, literally. I became God for a few minutes myself when God needed a break for some water. I also sat at the Right Hand of God for awhile because above that seat was a little speaker that let you hear the phone-side.
