VIDEO: In 1996 "HELL" was the theme adopted by the Burning Man event, and Helco formed part of Burning Man's annual themed art pageant. Kal Spelletich and his art group The Seemen were the creators of a satanic tableau where big business reigned and met Burning Man head-on. Highlighting the pyro extravaganza was John Law's heroic leap from the top of a blazing inferno crashing down through a neon sculpture.
Scott Beale at Laughing Squid also has details concerning a new Burning Man development.

[...] So all this talk of John Law and Burning Man history has prompted Chuck Cirino to dig through his massive Burning Man video archives. He just posted an amazing video of the SEEMEN performance of HELCO from Burning Man 1996 that was produced by Kal Spelletich. This was a legendary point on the Burning Man timeline and one of the highlights of John Law’s involvement with the event, taking place the last year he was an organizer, right before all “hell broke loose”. tags: Burning Man (T) , video (T) , SEEMEN (T) , Chuck Cirino (T) , Kal Spelletich (T) , John Law (T) , Weird America (T) , HELCO (T) submit to StumbleUpon Comments RSS feed | Trackback URL [...]

[...] No começo, o Burning Man era completamente anárquico, Mad Max no deserto. Tinha gente que trazia catapultas gigantescas capazes de arremessar um Fusca. E em 1996 houve o épico da HELCO tower, em que o Diabo comprava o Burning Man. Foi uma ópera que se extendeu por uma semana até o gran finale, com os robôs infernais dos Seemen e John Law pulando de um prédio em chamas. Ele é o cara vestido de cowboy neste vídeo sensacional da última noite da encenação. O diabo é o famoso e terrível Flash Hopkins, um cara, digamos, um pouco fora de contato com a realidade. [...]

There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. says it will modify the terms of $70 billion in troubled, mostly adjustable-rate mortgages it holds.
The New York bank inherited many of the loans as part of its September purchase of a failed competitor, Washington Mutual Inc. (NYSE:WM), and its move will cover as many as 400,000 borrowers. J.P. Morgan said Friday the borrowers will be moved into loans carrying lower interest rates, smaller principal amounts or other more-affordable terms, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The move came shortly after the bank received a $25 billion capital infusion from the U.S. Treasury’s program to strengthen financial institutions and get credit flowing.
“Our goal in doing this was to come up with something that we think will lead the industry in helping as much as possible on this issue,” said J.P. Morgan executive Charles Scharf.
John Taylor, chief executive of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, said the action was “a gutsy move on their part. They are bending over backward to try to reach out to these people.”
