My hippie bus

[twirlgrrl]

I just dug up this old post to share some of my GD history with someone, and realized it's been a year and a half since I wrote it--and that I've gained some new Dead-friendly LJ friends in the interim. So if you've never seen pictures of my beloved 1966 VW microbus, go read this post!

Yes! I loved the waves and peace signs from other bus owners! And I'm glad you had your own awesome bus experiences. There's just something about them.

I had a Vanagon after my bus got stolen. I loved the Vanagon--a 1987 full camper package, light blue, what a fun car that was! But it wasn't the same. I would drive around thinking "hippie-yuppie, hippie-yuppie." Plus it broke a lot and cost me WAY more to fix than the old bus. But I did love it, and when the transmission blew up for the second time and I basically sold it for parts I was sad.

Of course I love my Prius but I still fantasize about having a little microbus on the side someday.

I probably saw you at shows or the Haight, never knowing I'd meet you someday this way. We used to be those people you'd find outside taking pictures. I should try and dig up some of those.

I used to like that not everyone liked the GD or was a hippie, because it meant a better change for me to get tickets to shows. (~):-)
