La Contessa was a stately land ship, an art car made out of a bus in the shape of a huge pirate ship. Up close she was amazing, I had the privilege to board her in 2005 at Burning Man, and to see her float across the desert was a dream. Sadly, she was willfully destroyed in late 2006. I was thus happy to see today that her creators are suing the jerk who killed her. I hope they win, or at least make the bastard's life miserable.
