Jay (l) and Frankie (r) - two really cool artist guys from San Francisco, with whom Jon and Ryan spent a lot of hanging time. It helped that they had a much more effective shade strucure (that blue thing) than Jon's brother's canopy.

Frankie and Jay had a really novel idea for food survival - bring nothing requiring either cooking or refrigeration. Lots of cookies, lots of poptarts, lots of bread/pbj. Simpler by far than the two-burner cook stove and 70 lbs of dry ice which Ryan and Jon brought, but you pay a price for that simplicity...
