I woke up this morning wanting a little camper or a camper van.

Is that odd? I dreamed a friend had won one in a lottery and was touring all over the States and I woke up thinking, that sounds like a lot of fun, I should get one! Anyone out there have one? Do you use it and is it fun?

1. That's sounds so cool!

I love little campers and RVs. It feels so cozy and it forces you into a more simple lifestyle. I don't have one, but I'd like to.

5. haha, you know they're like pretty high up there

when you google "camper van" which is funny because I'd think you'd have to add "beethoven" but apparently not.

6. I googled the whole thing--but I'm not surprised.

Some of most fun of my misspent youth at the old Mason Jar Lounge here in Phoenix, along with Fishbone.

11. OMG the Mason Jar

brings back some fuzzy memories (fuzzy as in not too clear from lots o alcohol, not warm n fuzzy)

9. OMG...we saw them Saturday night...

Well, actually Cracker...

Dave Lowery is amazing.

We saw them in LA with David Johansen and Sylvain ,(flash-forward) The NY Dolls and
our favorite band X.


The Tikkis

10. X. Is. Flying Spaghetti Monster. I swear it.

"Burnin' House of Love" is the best album cut EVER.

Unless it's up against "Ridin' with Mary," I suppose.

7. Go to YouTube, look up Top Gear Caravan Holiday.

Enjoy.

13. This is Ali and my "Almost a Camper Van" A '86 VW Syncro (4X4)

I have a stove fridge unit and the propane tanks and tank rack sitting under a tarp in the back yard that I will have installed "some-day". The rear bench seats fold down and we put a queen sized air mattress back there. It is a pretty bare bones set up but it does us well.

Me and Alison in the middle of the Nevada Basin and Range country.



Here we are at a turquoise mine (The Pixie Mine) the next day. You can't tell but we climbed a mountain to reach the mine located at the top of one of the peaks



The quarry, we quarried out of that mine. Pixie turquoise.

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Camper van Beethoven?
