This is the final episode in a three part series of interviews with Chicken John who has been burning since 1994. Here he recounts one of the earliest and (until Paul Addis came along) most infamous Burning Man pranks when in 1996 (the year of the Hellco theme) a neon smiley face was installed within the effigy much to Larry Harvey's censure. Scott Beale wrote an excellent follow up accounting of the "Smiley" caper in his blog Laughing Squid following the Addis incident which can be read in its entirety here: http://is.gd/z41V. Filmed 13 April 2009 at his home in San Francisco, CA. More info at http://burncast.tv. Distributed by Tubemogul.
