I'm only about 2 hours ride from Birmingham. On thursday I'm getting paid and I'll be ready to ride then. I hope you guys are still around then. If not I'll do my best to catch up. Just make sure you hit me up if you possibly can before you ride any further than New Orleans. be good and be safe~~ and tell Erin I said hello peace
Hi Ian! I PM'd you...check it out! Wow! So. The Highway Child, has definitely had its share of drama. I love my big purple family and want everyone to know that the bus is a very life changing experience. As for Eclipse, and Kevin, they too are part of my family. Not all the things that were said to have happened did. I am completely neutral in this situation, and am headed to Arkansas on my own to take a little bit of a break. My sister just had a baby! The first neice in a family of 6 nephews! Yay! I plan to meet up with my purple family again very soon, but as for now, I'm gonna stay in Knoxville. As a friend ionce told me, there are three sides to every story, mine, theirs, and the truth. Frustrations are bound to occurr. The purple bus of love, karma, and hemp is ready to roll, and I wish my family aboard now, and the family that is to come in the future, light, love, music, fun, peace, understanding compassion, and respect! It's been fun... I love you guys!!
cool sprout Ill see you either thursday or friday in birmingham.. Ill call you wendesday to confirm where and when peace
sounds like you guys are having a good time out there. Im sorta curious though, how can you aford food and all that gas for the huge bus by selling your crafts? If you guys ever swing up by the ann arbor/detroit michigan area let me know and I'll help you out.
well we live well actually, we sell hemp jewlery everywhere we go, we do tend to be adopted by beautifull people in seemingly every where we go. the last few days we dealt with a huge issue on the bus, a few folk left with my xbox and electronics.. last night we ran into them....I havnt ever seen love like this, instead of violence or anger there were onloy hugs, we got our stuff back, and made awsome amends with our brothers, eclips has his own path he wants to walk, and we support him, kevin however has rejoined the family , eclips told me that he sent out emails to people about the bus, from what he told me he said that people should be prepared to make hemp jewlery alot...well thats true , its consensous that we all make at least three pieces a day...thats not that hard, some of us can do that in an hour. well were off the highway calls peace brothers... thanks sonic for your invitation, Im not sure when we plan to be in that part of the country ..though we do appreciate the invite..maybe some day we'll take you up on it peace
I was just wondering what you guys do on a normal "boring" day. Reading your posts has been very interesting and entertaining. Alot more of an adventure than my life is. I'm glad you got your things back after you were robbed, some of us aren't that lucky. I would still love to ride with ya'll if you come through Ohio. Peace -B

Forrest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get...he was from Alabama. Hey have you guys seen any of the hurricane devestation? Peace, positive energy.. -B
oh yeah forest gump was from alabama.....that make more sence now!! no havnt seen any devastation yet were about a half hour south of birmingham in shelby county selling hemp... Ok never mind kevin just came over and told me a cop just talked to him and dixi and said we have to leave....damn it ah well one of my many passions is harrassing walmart customers to buy our hemp " laughs wickedly such as any evil genius would" luckily I saw a walmart on the way oh just a cool note yesterday in birmingham we stopped at five points to sell when we first arrived we were surrounded by crack heads and a general bad energy by the time we had left we had tought three of these crack heads how to make and sell hemp and had folk dancing to the guitar and djimbe we were playing a little bit of love spreads like wild fire.. much love and blessings drew
Watching your story evolve is more interesting than daytime TV dude... Keep it up. You guys could try to sell some of your jewelry at a flea market.
hey all! I don't have kev's blanket!!! but i do have the cd, sorry! when we hook back up in arkansas you can have it back, i didn't even realize that i had it. i stuck it my purse the day we got it, and forgot to take it out. i left one or two of mine on the bus along with my hemp encased water bottle. i'm not sure what made you realize it, but i am sorry that i'm so incredibly insightful, when will you learn to trust me? I saw the guy who wanted to get on the bus here in knoxville last night, he is still super interested. i gave him contact info, and websites and what not. chris had a good birthday, we watched karl denson and the timy universe last night in market square, it looked alot different from when we visited for food not bombs. i've been thinking about you guys alot, i miss you and can't wait to see you again! we're leaving knoxville tonight, jason didn't realize it was going to be a 12 or 14 hour drive. yay... anyway, ohm from me, i love you all, and i hope that you guys stay safe. kev, brandi, mikey, sierra, drew. you are in our hearts. drew, it's all about the love..... erin, chris, jason.....
hey, blinkin, this might be really random considering the fact that there can't be just one purple bus travelling around such a large continent, but did you pass through yellowstone national park in the old faithful area maybe 2 months ago? i was working up there for the summer, and we saw one parked in the parking lot on our way to meet friends. i said, 'hey that looks like a door we should knock on and introduce ourselves!' unfortunately, when we went back past, the park rangers were already busy harassing whoever was inside.
alright we are in new orleans... sprout if yopur still coming pm me checked out burbun street last night, I think the plan is to chill here for a week though we are gypsies its hard to say if we will be around long nope didnt stop in kuntucky..though if I knew old faithfull was ther e I probbally would of nman I love yopgi bear still cant find the blanket but we did find bens hat Im glad chris had a good b day well see you in arkansas peace llove SPROUT !!! whatrs goin on man?? peavce

you silly canadians! yellowstone is all the way up in wyoming. i worked there the last two seasons as a way of seeing the country. the rocky mountains are awesome. i probably hiked over 100mi this summer on my camping trips.
Hey im from ohio i was wandering if you had any idea when you would be coming this way. And also if you are still accepting people on board. I can make a small donation, and possibly meet up with you.
hey all! i'm not on the bus anymore, but, i have it from a very good source that the bus ride as I know it is done. if you were planning on getting on the bus, it is not a very good idea. drew, also known as blinkin, is a very selfish, troubled soul. i do see the beauty in every individual i meet. drew does have beauty in his soul, but he hides it with many masks. i loved every second on the bus, but i left being very emotionally drained. Eclpise is someone that i would trust with my life, and he is the most trustworty individual in this whole situation. apparently kevin somehow got a hold of Eclipse, and left him with this info. i'm so sorry that this thread has turned into a bid waste of space. The Highway Child could have been sometihng beautiful, but sometimes circumstances change! hippielinz, i wish you all the best in delaing with blinkin. you are a beautiful soul. i wish we had more time to get to know each other better. much love.
