nomadic tribe

Sounds like you're all having quite the journey. Wether you guys have liked or disliked your time on the bus, im sure in someways its changed you in life. Hey if you guys make it up here to wonderful minnesota, drop a line and i'll see what i can do to help you out on your journey, i'm always willing to help out fellow man

 

I've actually never met this fellow wolfgang but I know someone else named wolfgang (weird eh?) who's from Canada and makes Victorian jewellery and travels around selling it at renaissance festivals and things like that around the US, anyways he said that he knew this guy who travelled around selling body jewellery and toe rings and things but he did it at festivals and his name was also wolfgang. I never realized so many people lived such a similar lifestyle. Nor did I realize how many people are apparently named wolfgang

 

wolfgang motzart he played music before the greatful dead even!!!!!!!!!!

and of course wolfgang Puck of the restaurant fame great food just to many yuppies to put up with to eat there always get looked at walking in like a barbarian. then a friend of mine runs a wold rescue ranch in new mexico so i think you could call them a gang of wolves which would be woldgang for short.

DUDES!!!! I saw this purple school bus at a dead concert and thought- whoa. that rocks so hard.it said " Travelot Inn " or something on the front. that bus was the whole reason i even discovered this whole part of me. (them and the dead ) I thought to myself " that's what i want to do for the rest of my life".

 

an hour later . . .

I've finally finished the thread! What a great one it is!!

Much love to all of you. May your hearts never shut up, and may your mind heed its advice.

 

blinkin --

dont know if you remember me or not. I used to be psychedelic_uncle_sam. We have had some great discussions in both the philosophy forum and the psychedelics forum a loonnnnggg time ago and I always thought us of like mind.

This is a beautiful thread, to see the ups and the downs. Way better then reality TV! haha.

Life is a journey, and we will always have ups, and always have downs, and I think its pretty clear that everyone has been able to take the good with them from their experiences and leave the past behind. This is what it means to truly be human.

I'm a young parent now as well, my boy is almost 3. Thanks for keeping up on this thread, it illustrates very well that more is needed than intention and that life will always throw challenges at you. A wise person once told me "You will continue to have the same hardships until you learn the lessons they are teaching you". And I see that even just in the span of this thread many lessons learned and wonderful experiences had.

If you guys are ever in Northern Calif. hit me up, It's beautiful here and I think in Grass Valley theres a few farms that could help you convert the bus to vegetable oil. Its in vision stage for me right now, when I get the funds im going to get a diesal car and convert it. my email is bz029@hotmail.com

Also -- congrats on the new baby coming. The youth are the most important thing on the earth. As our ancestors praised their ancestors and traditions, we must now praise and live for our descendants, or there will be none.

Some good parenting literature I think you could appreciate (based on previous conversations in the past) would be:

The Magical Child - Joseph Chilton Pearce
Parenting Well in a Media Age - GLoria DeGaetano (sp?)

may your heart guide your mind. . .

- psychedelic_uncle_sam (aka yogi)

well we have a very full bus now, two canadians and one from ohio, flow, sarah and adrian
as well we had some painting done by this dude who does some badass work with a spray can, a six foot giant budda is on the one side of the bus with some graph lettering,
highway child and faith
were heading up to sante fa the next stretch of highway the 60 mile road is the same road where jim morrison at four years old witnessed the death of a truck load of natives that hit another car, thats the point in jims life where he felt the spirit of a shaman entered his body and which came out in performances in his later life

from sante fe we are heading up to taose?? anyway I have heard rumors that thats where the hog farm is with the original further bus....cant wait to see that.

oh yeah we may be converted to veg oil in santa fe I was told the local green party puts up the cost for conversions there....its something were definatley checking out...

its strange sometimes when life is so beautifull everything around you is great and euphoric your mind will take you somewhere and tempt fear in your eyes......

strange dreams last night guys...

im really liking the group , the growth the vibe that has grown on this tour....
every turning point has shown me something either simple sceanery or life changing lessons...

I was in the washroom a few days ago and I was thinking as one tends to while doing what one can in the can...and a thought occured...simple ephany
the lessons a man learns, the choices one makes the very situation which we tend is put there only to bring you to the next...and the next ...and the next
like the dotted line of a highway .......

happy highway
all those folk I love and I am not around...missin you !!!!
to all those folk who infuriate me..
thanks for the lessons!!!!!!!!!!
blessings
Drew

I hope that you stopped in flagstaff, i've heard nothing but good things a bout it/ i left a cd on the bus, and i would love to get it back. it was a gift to me befor i left vermont, and i would like to get it back. if you pm me i'll give you my address, and you can mail it to me. i would love to see you again. i'm taking off this summer to go travelling. i'm heading north, then west, and plan on eventually heading up to canada. i plan on going to a lot of gatherings, so keep in touch, and perhaps we will meet up again!

 

hey erin were in california..Im not sure if I have any cds that were on the bus previous to when I was robbed. but let me know and Ill check I think *I have sublime and stormy mountain...that was about it


were in california, full bus and a caravan

I was just talking about you earlier today, once in a while I will look at your note you left meon the bus and think of you...man I learned so much talking with you and dealing with my own shit, I had this girl from ohio on from alberquqe to gallup a week or so anyway, but she reminded me of you, at first we got along then we clashed...I was open this time as well as cautious.....but it turned out well without any drama.....thanks..every sitution that occurs is MEANT to happen,

Im glad we can talk now, and Im glad that you still keeping tabs

lindsay is well Im going to spead up the tour...actually I mayt be selling the bus to those onboard and heading up myself...the highway child is a lot bigger now,,,were a caravan!!! I wanted that to happen...manafestation??? anyway theres three vehicles two buses a van and were all full group consenus rather than leaders...I was right though in my hemp nazi nature, since I gave that up we havnt been producing as much , and it brings in critisisim from the organisers from the other bus and van since there crew is producing more than us...still I did the "head" shit it didt work were still the start of this and I play a big part in the organising of the whole though now its a councile ...alot like an old schoold gypsy caravan///(thanks for the refference road gypsy)

any way were in palmdale california.....man I love the people in this country, once in a while I still get in heated debates about american policys though most of the tiume the people share the same ideals as me..

oh I have noticed something...remember at that college when those folk were playing Basket ball and you sayed I shouldnt approach them and I made that coment....
It seems like thats a general stereo type of americans
just the sterotyping...not too unlike how I at first stereotyped americans....

Im still driving threw compton.....
TOMMORROW!!!!! hahaha

peace and much love
oh yeah chris jones the dude who we dropped off with lindsay in newyork...he says hello..haha he sayed he expected you to be the only one who wouldnt go along with brandis shit.

paradigms are fun some times..
thanks and love
DREW!!
\happy highway
keep in touch

 

hey blinkin if you could tell me more about where the messa is i would really like to visit there, well thanks
Peace JimJam

 

Hi Erin, Hi everyone!
Hi Drew, Lindz told me that you were coming home next week maybe, and wanted to write you a note before you did, then I seen your above post. I don't understand what I did to you that was so awful Andrew, I never wanted things to get like this, I only needed to step back from the situation that I was in. Maybe I was immature in the way I handled it, but Drew we have both been immature at times, and I was hurt, and angry. In my recovery I am just learning how to communicate and live in a healthy way, and Im not perfect by any means. This trip, and this conflict between us has taught me so much, and I know it has you too. We have been friends for 7 years, and this has been our first real conflict. I think its pretty impressive and it took some pretty outstanding circumstances to bring this on. You drive me insane sometimes, but at the same time, I KNOW that we have taught eachother alot, and weather you are going to admit it or not, I know its true. I am not Judas, I am not the Devil like you said, I am just me, and If I hurt your feelings I am sorry.
I will be living in Hamilton for awhile now, as you know I have some serious healing and growing to do here before I continue on my journey, I would really like you to be a part of that change and growth if you come back. All I am asking is that we sit down and have a mature conversation about our parts in this story, and try to resolve this. You have been my family Andrew weather you like it or not, and like it was aid during the xbox incident, most families go through worse then this. Maybe I am a fool for writing this, but I know that resentments are baggage, and I really want us to grow through it.
As for the people who wanted this thread to continue when it was getting a bit out of hand, thank you! Sorry my posts have been soooo long
Erin, you sent me a private message, and I cant open it, it keeps telling me to type my password again then it wont work??? I dont even know how long ago you sent it. email me.
Anyways I am going to put this out there and see what happens, Love always, B

 

yeah.....lets see, you were my friend for seven years, I would have done aything for you, you were lonely I flew accross the country the next day then you ditched my ass...still I was your friend....I brought you on this trip created a family which you took from me ypou tried to destroy myt friends and family at home, luckily I do have a loyal family and a loyal set of friends...damn right you hurt me, damn right your in need of growth so am I ....I dont handle betrayal verywell. Now all these kind words come from your lips a little while ago all I read was your spitefull childish attacks...I was hurt at first , then angry...now I just dont want anything to do with you.
If I offended you by bieng who I am.....then I dont want you as a friend.
My karma is well My journey is well and it has been has been amazing,\\

hows your karma?? in hamilton eh???

to those just tuning in The commune is still the highway child the captainship is changing, Im selling the bus to those folk that are with me (those who kept with me after all brandis shit took place) tim (the soon to be new driver) will keep this post updated as the miles go by.

Ill post a few more before I make it home, I need to go home not because the highway doesnt call.....Im dreaming of my daughter evernight now.

shes my highest priority,,
\
