Photos and Bios of The Blood Vessel's Minions!
GOTHALOT
Creator
Buried in San Francisco, Gothalot, the creator of this insanity works a day job as an independent writer and director for film and TV as well as owning a Legal Video business providing media support for the legal industry. A veteran of Burning Man for the last 5 years Gothalot worked on Burning Mans earlier Black Rock Gazette and then later helped found the Black Rock Beacon, two of the events most influential papers with a daily circulation. He also managed Spikes Vampire Bar 04, 05, 06 and has now formed the Blood Vessel - Rue Morgue.
The Blood Vessel -Rue Morgue was inspired by the death of his sister early in his life. He was unable to say goodbye and the project symbolizes to him the moment of letting go, of saying goodbye to loved ones that are no longer in life but will always be a part. Gothalot found Clarice (The Blood Vessel) on a tip from a friend whom turned it down and immediately snatched it up. A mechanic and more financial aid was needed and he was met up with Creech and thus a partnership was made along with Nickadermia of the Last Caress.
NICK CHOMICKI
Graphics/Design/build (Last Caress)
Coming straight to you via the social wasteland of Los Angeles, is Nickadermia. He's burned for two years and this will be his third. Aiming to leave a smoking hole in your brainpan, he has teamed up with veteran burner and sexual tyrannosaur, Gothalot. Nickadermia, the creator of "The Last Caress", the Darkest art car on the playa, now is endeavoring to go even darker by lending his 20 foot, party coffin, and himself to the Blood Vessel project. Nickadermia is the driving force for the look of the Blood Vessel's mass bleedia. He will be the MC on the coffin and work with Gothalot to oversee much of the look surrounding it. Together with our merry band of what-have-you, they will conquer the dark side of Burning Man and leave nothing but smiles in the wake of the absurd, obscene and amazing.
THE DUCHESS OF BOOZE
Bar Hottie, Webmistress
Likes to care for various "pets", such as Sam, The Valve, The Doodyers, and the Chicken Worms. Spends her time working as a web producer/designer, traveling around, doodying around, going out dancing, snowboarding, bellydance classes, playing with electric torture devices and bellybuttons, and of course, boozing. 2007 will be her 3rd Burning Man.
GERBIL
Roof/Grill Ornament
This year will be his 3rd Burning Man. Likes to wrestle. Loves mushrooms and pickles. Will bite if provoked. Has a great ass. Pain slut. Enjoys playing with electric toys. Loves to just doodie around aimlessly.
SKIRBLAH
Morgue Manager
This will be burn two for Skir - a HAPPY Camp seed planted in the Rue Morgue. Skirball is an artist who follows many threading ideas in many more directions - yet is able to pull them all together into an unified and complete realization. Sculptor, painter, fire artist, woodworker, artist of thread, pencil, pen, crayons, clay, rock, and so much more ...
Skirby was intrigued by Gothalot's vision, suggesting a few artistic embellishments... then suddenly being sucked into the Blood Vessel full force. Next thing he knew he was making masks, decorations, a coffin, and is now the Morgue Manager. Better play nice with this one, or you might just end up in one of the coffins.....
