very exciting news, we now have a bus!

levi and i went down to Oceanside today to inspect some school busses that were being put up for auction on ebay. We couldn't afford the really big one (84 seater), but were able to win this 54 seater:

It's standard size- not super big, but will make for a cozy conversion. We won the auction with a bid of $3,100 - a pretty good price for a 1993 bus. It's an automatic with a diesel engine, and a little over 300,000 miles on it. hoping it will make it another 10,000! We will be converting our bus to bio-diesel, pulling out the seats, and paintingit up for our Road to Oprah, leaving in 8 weeks!

1. A call to adventure, which the hero has to accept or decline

2. A road of trials, regarding which the hero succeeds or fails

3. Achieving the goal or "boon," which often results in important self-knowledge

4. A return to the ordinary world, again as to which the hero can succeed or fail

While it's no "Road To Oprah" that the good folks in charge of this ship have in the works, filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks II...) is going to be rocking the house on his birthday here - http://blog.myspace.com...

(see how I got in a little pimping for the big guy? I'm a fan) And I will be attending the Q&A, which as recent word would have it, could wind up on a DVD. Well, as you might've guessed, plans are to drop some science on him regarding the 1. If he doesnt already know something about it, well, I think he'd be all about it, kids! How could he donate, or we facilitate that? That's something I'd need to know - other than that, I came here (my "The 1" blog) to spill some verbiage and share my idea and plans. Now that you've read all this mess, why don't you take a look at the things we all love about the ol' internet - pictures AND videos!
