Some of these photos will be available, with commentary to everyone (including non-subscribers) at some point in the future when I get around to it.
If you appear in one of these photos, forgive me for misplacing your e-mail address or for being behind in my letter-writing. Write to me, tell me the names of the photos in which you appear, and I'll e-mail you copies of the large versions.
It is my impression that everyone who appears here has consented to do so, either orally or in writing. If I am mistaken (or you've changed your mind) and you do not want to appear on these pages, just write me and I'll make you unidentifiable or remove your photo entirely. Even though it may not be evident from the thumbnails, nonconsenting people in the photos have had their faces obscured in the enlargements.

17K	This is a big production number -- "Comedy Tonight" from the musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Someone cut their budget in half, so everyone had to make do with half a costume. (Grin!) Elaborately rehearsed, it opened the show and brought the house down.		23K S	17K S
If you know the lyrics, you'll understand that the guy in the silver heels (last two in the next row) is illustrating the principle of doing "something specific"...! Sorry we have to bleep out the "thing" itself (since there is no adult verification on this thumbnail page). Members can see the real thing, which is simulated but looks quite real, frankly!

Shel Silverstein storytelling This skit involved two high school guys who didn't worry about getting naked in the showers -- and two more who did (not shown).

This is Bob, in the
role of Mrs. John
Wayne Bobbitt,
pulling successively
more outrageous
items out of her
clothing.
Ouch!

14K One of the highlights each year is the
Deaf Chorus. It's difficult to explain why, but
it is very moving to see 20 or 30 men -- deaf
and hearing -- signing in unison while a song
is played. They're directed by Mark, a member
of the GNI board, who is himself deaf.

And now we come to an important question: Do you accept Cheez-Its as your personal snack-food savior?

Sister does. Sister does indeed! Get down on your knees now and praise the savior -- praise Cheez-Its!

NOTE: The Cheez-Its skit was intended to satirize revival meetings and their excesses -- not religion itself.
