In May 1980, Fidel Castro opened the harbor at Mariel, Cuba, with the apparent intention of letting some of his people join their relatives in the United States. Within seventy-two hours, 3,000 U.S. boats were headed for Cuba. It soon became evident that Castro was forcing the boat owners to carry back with them not only their relations, but the dregs of his jails. Of the 125,000 refugees that landed in Florida, an estimated 25,000 had criminal records.

Regardless, On October 9, 2004 the Beastie Boys handed out 50 Hi8 cameras to gung-ho audience members. Although none of these camera operators were trained, they captured the show with love and passion...







Only good looks!

At the time, it seemed like just an extravagant one-time thing -- this flying to NYC to see a concert. About a week ahead of time, I had this crazy idea, I talked my friend into going, we used my airline miles to get there, and I paid a broker $$$ for the tickets.

I didn't have a camera that night, but I'm glad that you all did.

I remember waitresses serving much alcohol. And we all got "weeded". Contactly or by direct inhalation!
