Yes it has been a long time since I was on deviantart, I lost my password and jut remembered it! I just got back from barter faire up in Tonasket Wa. I had a blast, I went with my friend Mike and we camped out in my car from fri to mon. I love how I can go up there with just enough money for gas and my ticket, and still manage to get food and have a great time just on the grace of others. 'Cause that's what the Faire is all about, fellow humans getting along and helping each other out. Which is why on monday we picked up trash all over the grounds for about 4 hours, and then helped with dishes in the kitchen. Here's where the story gets a bit messed up, I have never taken my car on a long distance before and it didnt handle as well as I'd hoped. on the way home it kept breaking down, fortunately the first time it I was able to coast into a gas station, I got it running and we were on our way. At this point its getting dark and I'm driving in the rural highway, when all of a sudden I loose my tak. then my headlights go outand I'm drivin' blind. I start goin down the hill and I lose all other functions, the only place I could coast was to this one street town called Blue Creek. I park in this broken down house, and ask the guy if I can use his phone (mind you I am still a good hour and a half from home and I dont have a dime). Well it turns out his phone doesnt work out here and this town shuts down around 6:00 pm, its 6:35 pm. So me and my friend go knockin on doors in our full barter faire hippy gear. needless to say, most of these ppl look at us like we're aliens. long story short I get a hold of my folks and they will get there in an hr and a half. so I'm sitting on the trunk of my car and the guy who's house we're at comes out and tells us there's a fire out back if we wanted to chill, it turns out he was just up at the faire. So we all hung out and talked till my folks got there and the next day I got my car home and am in the process of tearing apart the alternater and fixing it. Well its great to be back here on DA
