Highway child canada

yeah well may have to waita bit.

ok so ....FUCK!

jason convinced the tribe that his bus is better suited for the road.......k

so there all off to tennessee to hop on huglife, kids spent combined thousands of dollars to get thjis bus going to OWN this bus, bus was insured, permit was on safety aquirered regesterd fit, we took it on a road test got a new alternator,,,alls ready and they split to huglife....????????????????????????????????????????

I have many theories and thoughts on this matter, though from what I was told on the ohione when I was at work the plan is for them to head down to huglife and hit some festivals make thousands of dollars? then return to the bus or meet it at burning man..

but why do so much work and spend so much then when its ready leave for another tribe bus?

I have no ill thoughts toward any og the kids, and I wish themthe best of luck building huglife and hitting some festivals...they WILL get down, party like mad, spend a lot fo doe and have a great time.

they WONT do any travelling that involves making there way, I mean that by selling hemp to get by on the highway, figuring shit out on the spot, learning how to actually be free of babylon grips....

now I wish the tribe well, so please I hope none of you kids take this the wrong way, you guys were AMAZING to have here I had so much hope and faith in every one of you that you would roll out of here on the bus..

Ive said it before everyone chooses there own path and I wish you well on it and I trully hope to see you again down the highway, your always welcome on our bus OUR BUS.

jason, you know your the shit all to well, you have my respect and gratitude for mobilising these kids.
I cant say im 100% happy about you convinceing them to head to your own bus ...but I understand and hey tribe is tribe it doesnt matter what bus there on.
good journeys


bus jesus (aka) josh your a very cool kid man, youve worked your but off and pulled off some amazing shit while here, thanks for cleaning up and leaving both the bus and the garage in tip top shape.

zack. I may hold you inthe highest regard. you say what you mean when you do actually talk!!! your a hard ass worker talented it was great waking up and watching you do tai chi on the roof of the bus, seeing you do your kung fu with your rope whip blew my mind, theres not many people I cant find fault in if I look hard enough , I havnt found any in you man, cept maybe you dont shower much, but you probally do more than me!
the bus will always have a spot for you!

xander. money money I want money....(lyrics of a 50 cent song he sings ALL THE TIME) lovin ya bro, you came you got down you came again got down again, and your off just as fast, one of these days maybe you'll stick around......a lot like me kid, much respect!!!!!

julia and chelsea, you sisters were very cool, I wish I had more time to get to know you better but what I heard from you I enjoyed, see you kids down the highway!!!



so what I got from all of this , during the equal share experience so far, is ALOT of people are willing to throw down and put out work and effort.....

its just the next step away from money and into the unknown, on the highway a lot of people dream about but sort of fear I think to do so without guideance.

my dream for this tribe for these buses is that we will reach a point without leadership where councils decide and so far they do though I see all to well how influence of some sway the many, I suppose its normal human behaviour. Ive said many times that we have no leader just those with leadership abilities.

im not sure if thats wise, im not knocking anyone here just stating facts that many can be swayed by few.

elected leadership for the first time makes sence to me, as previously I believed witha collective of anarchists freedom can be maintained.

though with any leadership many are still guided by few...I dont like the idea of that it bothers me, though I suppose it is reality.


I am truly gratefull to have experienced you all here apart of this, and I have nothing to say negative of any one of you. be well good journeys....see all back on board soon.



in other news.

THIS BUS IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT MEANT FOR MY DRIVEWAY. this bus is an equal share community owned and run bus guided under the highway child rulles.

it needs to be filled with kids who want to and KNOW HOW TO keep it moving down the highway.

we have seven spots to fill on this pimp ass bus of ours. if I cant get kids on the bus from here, Ill get them from the canadian gathering and on my mini journeys threwout the summer.

equal donation is required, equal ownership is expected and tribe rulles to be followed.

no elfing

everyone makes three pieces of hemp a day or 30 bucks worth of art to sell

what is made on the bus stays with bus.

no violence,

treasurer holds the money wich belongs to the bus, the treasurer is elected by the group and holds no power over the money but holds the pot and is accountable for it. driver can not hold the doe since he would have too much power.

no hoarding

no hard drugs, pot is allowed on the canadian bus under one ounce. though is not to be sold for gain or profit from or off the bus.

leave a positive mark on any community the tribe travelles.

no hierarchy, veryone is equal and treated as such.

this bus is ready now, needs to be plated, ( plates regesterd to the bus ) and probally re insured as the insurance papers were taken

jason mentioned the tires had dry rot....I must not be looking at the same tires, Ive been in tire sales since I was 4 ( my dad owned a firestone and my grandfather started dayton tires in canada) and I ...well whatever the tires are good.

so its less then three hundred to make the bus permanently legal. the permit we have is good for ten days and we can renew as many times as we want as the bus is now regestered as fit.

and Ill probally make that happen Ive put over my equall share into this progect, But I really WANT this bus to get on the highway.

kids want on a bus start emailing me asap

bustribe@yahoo.com


good luck to those heading to huglife, huglife is a chill ass bus, engines good road worthy for sure, needs the interior built but im sure youl get it up and ready asap.

huglife is not an equal share bus though guys, its owned by jason and thats very clear he has never said anything differenty. thats not a bad thing, just want you guys to know each bus in the tribe has seperate rulles, things are dne diufferently on each bus.


see you down the highway...PEACE!!!!!

one love

 

WTF?! They up and left the bus at your place for another? WTF? Wow, man. Well, I hope they have fun off doing what they were doing. I was kinda surprised they up and offed to the states but hey that's their thing. i hope that sexy-ass bus sitting in your drive way gets some kids on it... jeeeeeze. i wont be making it, i put myself into something else. my sister is all interested in tribe now tho, but we have a place set up in PBro for next year, so she has to work her ass off too to get some money for when we move in, and now so do I. ARGH!!! FUcking babylon. fucking life. next summer i am seriously saying fuck it to this all, after i have this year lease off my back. my sister wants to too.

sheeeit I'm sad about that poor bus. all left there and lonesome. it's a nice fucking bus, people!! hell... i wonder where it will be next summer.

ARGH!! so bummed about what happened drew but then again, im sure the kids will have super fucking fun nonetheless.

 

Sometimes the things that bring the most look like a lose when it first comes

Keep the faith man...and as usual the way will be shown

Be True to your Self and Honor what comes as the next door is opened.

Blessings

Namaste

 

a road with many turns man...I know...thanks!

vana you always have your bunk sister. helll ya briong your sister more family!

 

I just checked my myspace and read a letter that this brother I actually kicked off the bus back in san fran on the THC 8...it made me think and realise some of the good that we do just existing within tribe.

Body:
Long time no speak brother. I know we left on bad terms so let me first apologize for any bad blood between us, I hold no grudges against my past. I found a report the other day from when I was 14 and taken into state custody, I had a psych evaluation done and quoted in the report was that subject "wants to go to California, smoke massive amounts of marijuana and live and a giant purple hippie bus". Suggested that subject is unrealistic about his goals in life and reccomend further therapy...rofl. Thanks for making my childhood dream a reality. I wish I had more pics to prove it, I only have the only Helena let me keep from Laytonville at the drive through tree, and that whole gang of ppl going to that peace festival we never gained entry to. I'm no longer with her if you're wondering, we parted ways after I returned her safely to her sister in Michigan, clean of drugs. I myself have been clean for over a year, I'm back home in Ct. I also have my own family now I have a 1 month old son named Dylan who looks like a rockstar. I went back to my college g/f I left to go to California and we're yuppies living in the countryside in our townhouse. Lol. I was up taking care of Dylan he's fussy tonight, but otherwise he's a mellow baby. You'll have to w/b and let me know how things are going. I really hope you appreciate all we tried to do for you guys, afterall, I think Medford, OR should speak for itself, I mean we ruffed it out with you guys to make sure your family was taken care of. If that's not enuff to speak of good deads and karma, all the homeless ppl we fed after you left us in Santa Barbara and all the good energy we spread there. It's too bad Helena started getting violent with me. She spent Christmas and New Year's in a prison in Colorado 2 years ago while we were still together. I bought a truck and helped her evade her probation to be with her sister so she would have some stability and some hope of staying clean. I think she blamed me in a way for her not using though she wanted to and so she beat me pretty bad. I took it like a champ and laughed at her, but looking back there were times she coulda caused some permanent damage. Another thing I wanted to thank you for was for helping my when my hand was brutally broken. I finally had my surgery done this past winter. I part of a first time case study bone removal surgery that's supposed to drastically reduce recovery, I'm kind of a wonder case. Half of my Scaphoid, which is the bone that supports your thumb in your wrist was ground to pieces, so had to be excised. 2 months after my surgery I was out of my cast, and now I'm able to hold my son without pain of injury. Thank you guys for giving me a way to survive and enjoy California while so severely crippled. I know when I got money it may have seemed selfish for me to spend on things like going to movies or doing some shopping but those little concessions are part of what made the whole experience everything I could've dreamed for. I'm no longer welcome in the state of california due to warrants, or I'd visit someday, but maybe if I continue to do well in life I can find a pardon or sanction to get them dropped so I can bring my wife and son along to enjoy part of what will forever be my favorite part of life. Thank you guys for making it everything I could hope for, even through all the struggles, we always made it work. Don't ever give up, we never did and it was always rewarding at the end. My life couldn't be more rewarding right now. On that note I need to go, but write me back and let me know some updates on the tribe and the family. I still have a picture of you and your wife with me and my ex on my parents fridge, and I don't think it will ever come down, ex or no ex, you're part of a chapter of my life that helped me find myself, and lose my addictions. Thank you.
Michael Galipeau

I'm not logged in as myself, but this is Jason, Captain of huglife. I wanted to clarify a few things. First off, our plan to go to Tenn. and take my bus, was completely a tribe thing. Our impression was that drews bus was and will be a money trap. YES, all the guys did drop over a thousand bucks a peice, but after they all, had been sitting on the bus waiting for it to start, work, be done, and get on the road over a month sitting in drews driveway, and me for 2 weeks, we all thought we should cut our losses and go get my bus. My bus is solid, with no rust and good tires. I only had a month to be on that bus, and i was told that it was ready to go, minus a driver. I'm that driver. I only had 2 weeks left in my tour, and knew that i wouldn't be able to get anything outta my trip that i had projected originally. Secondly, before i went to Canada, I told drew that i already had my summer planned out including a lot of Festivals and shows. At the last minuite i decided to go to canada. If i had of stayed it would have ruined my summer, as far as plans go. The plans i had included taking my bus to all good fest, and burning man. If i'm in canada i can't organize my people to get my bus where i need to. The way its going now, i have a tribe and a bus and were on the road. My bus runs perfect, and is insured and PLATED! We are going to asheville this weekend for a festival, we have hippie shops already buying our didges. everything is in place to make a great summer. I want to say to drew, that they're are no hard feelings on anyones part, we just thought we were spending an awful lot of money not to be mobile. We all knew that as soon as we got to TN. We could all just GO. Drew is one of my best friends, and i wouldn't have a bus if i had not met him or his tribe, back in '04. I am very thankful for my bus, my friend drew and his family, and the bus tribe that i am now in. We still follow tribe rules and will continue to do that until forever. Nothing has changed except that we are in another country in another bus. Drew can we pick you up still on the way to burning man? Love you bro. -Huggy Fresh

 

Hey dude I was just saying it was a bummer that the bus got left behind. It's a sweet bus. But it's your decision. i wasn't trying to be a downer or anything. i hope you guys have fun in the states.

 

it must not be to sweet if they have put thousands in it and its still not road worthy..
i mean if they had been there a month before bugging out then im pretty sure they knew the bus still had some major issues that needed to be addressed or they wouldnt have bugged out..

oh the drama of the highway child..

 

I still don't understand what is wrong with the bus.

 

me either.. lol

 

ok lol im like really seriously impressed that its possible to get a bus on the road and trip worthy in a month (or 6!) on only a couple thousand dollars. wow guys. like, my bus is teeny and still i totaly dont see my work ending this year. i really dont know what your situation is or anything, but i would have expected the conversion of the bus to take a lot longer even with several people working on it. but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. hope you find more kids for the bus drew, it sounds great still dying to see pics of how you did the interior.

 

umm hasnt he had the bus for well over a year,,at least 18 months?? lol

i mean hong kong came here (our place,,wow what a guest)last may to go up in june and blinkin had already had the bus for a couple months,if im not mistaken hong kong sent a good chunk of change,thats why he threatened to sue when blinkin didnt leave LAST YEAR..
read this thread,, there has been lots of cash donated besides what was spent in the last month..
they came being under the impression the bus was or nearly was road worthy and ready,,again,,read the fucking thread..

its great to defend someone ,,but ya really should have your facts straight before doing so....

 

lol... i wasnt defending, i said that i dont know the situation. im just saying im impressed at how much theyve got done in the past month. working on my own conversion right now and its very time consuming. of course its just me, i dont have a team helping. really not necessary to swear at me dude. peace and love.

 

its a adjective not a swear.. lol

 

A adjective... or AN adjective?
