R.I.P. David T. Warren



I know this information is late and I apologize for that but I am traveling abroad and will not return state-side until mid-month.

Yesterday, January 2, 2010, marked the memorial for David T. Warren (aka. Flamo LaGrande, R.J. Mololopozy) at Playland Not At The Beach. Warren was a founding member of the San Francisco Suicide Club (a secret society that preceded the Cacophony Society which in turn began Burning Man). Warren was also the first to ignite the Burning Man effigy at Black Rock in 1990. For many years Warren owned and operated the Camera Obscura at Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

A remarkable obituary posted on Laughing Squid as written by John Law can be found here. The original video clip as featured above can be seen on YouTube in its entirety here.
