mike, if you come you will quickly realize there are two types of people on the imaging field of duckadang. Those who manage to find a different circuit from huffs setup and who have a great time. Then there are those who setup on the same circuit as huffy and realize why he is also known as Fukashima dave

The h0ugh is the astrofest master of awakedness without any chemical or spiritual stimulus, he manages with little or no sleep for days on end. He has been rumoured to nap in the early daylight hours, but no one has ever witnessed this ritual.
