Thank y...Dear Friends of the Free Willie Nelson,<br /> Thank you for your huge outpouring of support regarding the fire that broke out in the motor compartment Monday September 12.<br />The fire was most likely the result of some kind of electrical short in the main fuse block. We were thinking of converting to biodiesel, but let' s see what "The Hartford" has to say.<br />Although the fire is a setback, on the bright side it may well result in helping to get the sponsors I need to pull my project together. <br /><br /> As many of you know I have been planning a cross country odyssey I call-<br />Fifty Two Fifty Trip where 12 intrepid East Villagers visit all 50 states in fifty-two weeks driving three Dodge Travcos like this one with me and the dog.<br /><br /> If it flies, Fifty Two Fifty Trip would be an epic voyage. <br />Paid to travel the entire country, the crew and I will function as a team to rediscover our land one state at a time, and along the way, the 12 protectorates, . <br />I feel that since 911 we have been fed a steady diet of fear and wedge issues that have split us up as red vs blue states.<br /><br /> Our mission will be to spark a reuniting of the U.S. as "us," by example, go into the heartland with a message of fearless strength through diversity, tolerance and mutual support.<br /><br /> We are joined at the hip by asphalt and the open road is calling, not "Big Brother" or "Jersey Shore," (OK a little like "Dangerous Catch," ...boats...) just a little East Village Crew come to town, play some tunes, host mini state-centric traveling feasts and art shows (State bird, tree, flower, song, stuff) for local causes.<br /><br /> Each crew member will bring a special skill set, (like Star Trek) to find out all the things that make the states unique or alike and examine how we stand apart or pull together. <br />Everyone going shoots, blogs and helps cook and clean. There is an inner journey too you know.<br /><br />Crew spots that are cast so far are:<br />Commodore, Cultural Liaison, Vocals, Harmonica- Ron Britt (Mixed American)<br />Captain, Mechanic, Designated Bullshitter- Gus Kerkulous (Greek American)<br />Captain, Assistant Mechanic, Sgt. at Arms- Blue (Hells Angel)<br />Navigator, Driver who talks to traffic, Guitar- Darryl (African American)<br />Science Officer also picks out playlists for the i pod- Sarah the Bio Babe (Jewish)<br />Videographer Editor, Driver (Kaz Ono Japanese British American)<br />Audio, Guitar, Random Tech- Todd Colburn (Semi Zen, Californian)<br />I T, Random everything, Bass- Pietro (Italian American, OK Sicilian for Christ sake)<br />Ship's Counselor, Bartender- Steven "Murph" Murphy (Irish, cause you know there is going to be some drinking...)<br />Security, Mascot- Diggie (Dig-bear) the pit-bull<br /><br />Positions still available are:<br />Ship's Lawyer (oh boy are we going to need one...)<br />Ship's Doctor (or Veterinarian...)<br />Ship's Chef (able to pull off a traveling feast in the capital of each state)<br />Ship's Embedded Blogger, Historian, Relief Bartender<br />Base Camp Personnel Researchers, Advance people, Coordinators, Interns, sketchy people who hang out for cameos and so on.<br />(Kaz might swap for base camp spot if he can't take the kid.)<br /><br />We will podcast daily and produce a video about each state and the people in it -- with a special show about the protectorates.<br />How many can you name? <br /><br />Name a state that ends with a K.....Ron britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941223766034356459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-33806722481459875512011-09-12T16:50:20.435-04:002011-09-12T16:50:20.435-04:00I've seen things you people wouldn't belie...I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
