Highway child canada

Kimberly!!
Haven't spoken to you in over a week. Actually i'm at my fathers and i don't have an internet connection there, sometimes i manage to pick up signal from some neighboors but it's pretty crappy, so anyway that's why i haven't been on much. I'll deffinitly talk to you next week, a lots changed in the passed week or so, my plans i mean, won't be heading to calgary after all.. anyhow, i'll talk to you soon.

Vana,
Actually i had no clue either. All i've got to carry my shit is an old army duffle bag, and honestly all i'm thinking about is being warm so whatever will help acheive that is going in there aha. Bring whatever you think will be useful, once summer starts approaching i guess we can just stop by our own places whenever we happen to be passing thru to pick up more convenient stuff for warm weather..you can always PM Drew he's got a better idea than i do about all that, i'm just thinking essentials.

love & light,

Angela

 

Vana For stuff to bring on the bus, bring sleep stuff(bag or blankets) hygiene and a few changes of clothes, and an instrument/drum/journal/your expressive object. Some items i found infinitely handy where my knife/multi tool, a small flashlight and a lighter, Also dent floss and a needle as you never know when something will need sewing

Keep in-mind that space on the bus is a premium and stuff my get smashed when in the stow, so dont bring anything that you couldent easily replace

 

You see thats what I like to see other members of the tribe giving the new ones a leg up!!!!!


ahh im smiling lots today!

hey jay when can you meet me for the new mexico hootennany? I have from the 30th of july off, now I dont know when that falls thats a monday or a friday either way we'll leave on the earliest friday if thats cool.

peace

and socks...bring lots and lots of socks..and duct tape, needle nose plyers..the smallest you can find...music!......I always bring a crap load of books, but thats me...oh and sciissora, were always loosing the snips!

peace

 

ok I went out and got a propane stove top, propane oven unit also with a stove top(not redundamcy I have a plan for fold down fryer!) toilet with foot flush, RV sink, propane/elecrtic fridge.
so Its a good start.
I work nights this week 6pm to 6 am so I have some time in teh day which I can pick up the bus I will as soon as I recieve some of the contributions.

peace

On the topic of the moo-lah... what if I just donate all my cash to the cause when I get picked up when you're passing by my way? I'll have a lot more when my summer job is done... about sept 19 the latest... hopefully I'd have my last paycheck by then...

Edit: is the bus going to be strictly canadian? where does this bus go? i'm so excited and crazed... also, what if you're musically retarded? i can't play an instrument. i can snap me fingers, tho!

 

Vana,

plan for this bus is to stay in canada, there's a few US ones out on the road if you're interested in seeing the states though, you can always hop onto one of those. And it doesn't matter if you can't plan an instrument!! As long as you've got heart & soul sister, can you smile? music for anyones eyes!!

As a matter of fact, i can't play an instrument for the life of me, i do have a guitar though, which i will be bringing along, i'm sure someone will find use out of it more than i do!! Who knows, maybe we can learn a note or two eh!!

 

I hope so... I'd love to learn! Also, hope to learn to make hemp necklaces n' stuff... I'd like to learn a trade. Is it possible to bring any of my old jewlery to pawn off for the good of the tribe?

Also, during the summer (after today, really) my access to the net might be limited (been using my highschool's)... so if anyone cares to do so (pretty please?), email me updates and when you know you'll be going threw my area. I want nothing more to be on the bus.

Toodles, doodles and love!

 

deffinitly deffinitly deffinitly to everything you just said/asked whatever

Hey Drew,
Sorry have not been able to call you back, my cell phone died the other day from being in the rain, but I can still get voice messages....will try to get a long distance calling card so that I can call you from work....

Will be able to send you some cash on June 30th...and then some from each paycheque there after......trying to get extra shifts at work to make extra cash to help out with the bus trip and supplies....

Angela,
Sorry , I have been online but I guess not at the same time as you are.....did you get a job or what is happening at your end? Email me when you get the chance at ladybirdhawk@hotmail.com

 

wild guess i'm thinking that's like over 3000 right there..jesus fuck. i better get movin!! need a job FAST. seriously i will take ANYTHING, i'll fucking rub bunions all day at an old folks home if i have to!!

 

I am just fortunate to have a full time job right now... and this is my dream... by the end of summer, I will be quitting my job to get on the bus....My commitments are not as much right now, I just moved in with a co worker so my rent is soooo much lower that it was a couple of months ago...so can help out more with bus expenses!!! Just the timing of having worked here at this job for the past three years....

It will all work out in the end!

 

I signed up for a sidewalk sale thing in my town, rented out a table for aug.25th&26th, good for some extra cash, which i desperately need for the bus, so i won't be in ontario much before then, maybe like 28th or someting, latest would be sept 2nd..I know i said mid august but this job thing isn't looking so good, gotta do what i gotta do y'know. I emailed another website about those dread beadies so we'll see with that too, doing anything i can think of for some coin!!
