Glass Bead Collective Targeted Equipment Stollen By the Police

You may want to watch for a 4pm press conference regarding police stealing video activists equipment in Minneapolis. I have no specific details about where this will turn up... but the National Lawyers Guild and Glass Bead Collective will be holding a press conference regarding being targeted for their work defending our rights with video in NYC.

All Greased Up

We're finally greased up and ready to roll, thanks the genius who started Rocky Mountain Diesel Max; probably the largest collector of used cooking oil for fuel in the country. Chuck has created a blend of veggie oil and other ingredients that is capable of running a diesel engine WITHOUT adding extra heat to your system, you can put it straight into your regular diesel tank EVEN in winter. At any rate, we won't need to look for oil between Denver and St.Paul and that's a huge relief.

Gone Campin'

it's the rookies... what else is there to do. It's too damn hot to stay in Denver.

Denver's Nice

We're settling into Denver for awhile. The urban camping lifestyle is taking some adjusting. We'll be biking about as much as possible because we can't get the oil temp up high enough to use on short commutes.

Asaf Sends his Love

Asaf hooked a ride futher east the other day and sent us this photo to prove his love for the NOmadjik Bus. Hopefully he'll be back on board someday.

Chance Veggie meeting

After a long hot soak in the hot springs we headed to the local bars and got plowed last night. At the end of the evening we met a guy that I'd met in the Casino parking lot in Reno after Burning Man last year. I had showed him my fledging veggie bus and he was very interested.

He had stumbled into this bar with his mother, who he was giving a tour of this part of the rockies IN HIS BRAND NEW (1985) VEGGIE BUS. We showed them the way back to the campground for the evening and they've moved on to Shopping for western wear in Leramie, WY. We plan to visit him later on our way to Denver.

Pack'n up & Heading for the Hot Springs

We're headin' out from the Gathering today. We've picked up a rider, Asaf. Turns out Asaf knows alot of my friends and he's considering sticking around for the conventions. But for now we're all heading off to the hot springs to soak up some clean & warmness.

We've got about a 250 mile drive after we pack up and the 1st 20 miles is on some rough dirt road.

The clean up process at the Gathering has been a little disturbing not for the lack of people staying to clean up but for the idiots that left a lot of crap out here in the pristine wilderness. We saw a 30 inch television sitting by the road waiting to hauled out... It is quite telling of our society when someone decides they need a 30 inch television to commune with nature and god...
