/we had drove down to taos, new mexico in a car. a car that had belonged to these girls Corn had brought home. said he met them in a gas station and he was hell bent on having sex with them we said to each other and kinda laughed. well he did, but well they stuck around and we grew to like them, and someone got this idea to go to a rainbow gathering.
no idea whose idea, but some how we all got romanced into it, and before too long there was a car full of us there.
we had no money realy, and many adventures on the way, but one thing sticks with me,
the girls took us into to town to pan handle, and the two girls said they'd be back for us.
they didn't come back.
in fact they said they actually said they were gonna park or something but we say the car go way off and then fade away and kinda looked at each other and knew we were on our own.
josh took up leadership position being giagantic. he always thrust himself into leadership, and usually had a good sense, in the way if you took any situation and simmered it down and condensed it, well josh saw it that way instantly, and set about ideas for sleeping for the night and travel back.
well, i never said he was a genius, cause i was laying on a piece of cardboard as told, (to keep the ground moisture and cold off) and thinking maybe we should get a better plan....so i demanded a spange meeting where we could try to gather funds and plans.
no luck for the longest until a lady came up to me and said she had seen us and passed us many times and just kept somehow coming back to us (man this kinda thing always happens to me whenever i try to avoid things i am supposed to do) and gave me 5 bucks.
she said not to spend it on booze.
i drooled thinking of booze.
right after this a van screeched up to us.
we loved vans and mole,josh, and me piled in happy as clams and i immediately said we'd need liquour. and quick. the lady said it was past hours but she knew some kinda trick.
we drove through crazy back roads and she warbled nonsensicled facts and stories of pat and present, and it was hard to tell which was which.
we parked in back of i liqour store and she asked what to get and i offered up the money and said "jim crow mash and cheap vodka!"
she wandered into the store for alternating too much time and not enough time for our arguments of what now.
we started to notice the van smelled of pee and me and mole commented on the sloppy driving and that somehow we had to get someone sober to drive, and josh was a pro at van driving. somehow we convinced her, when she got back and handed us liquoyr gotten after hours and I was stoked. josh asked for where campgrounds were a lil out of the way and she'd talk about her jealopus husbend, where the camp is, then about how we should go to her house where she'd make us food.
eventually we got off the beaten path enough where josh would pull over, the smart turd he is, and he jumped out and found the beers we'd aquired. there weren't many. and worked on a campfire. i was happily opening my jim crow sour mash and the lady demanded odd things and wanted me and mole to pose in wierd ways for her in the van we fell over each other and then left and took hardy sips but could not coax her out, she became more and more troubled.
well. after a bit she demanded the keys back from josh and we has infighting about a) it's her van but b) she was out of her head and almost kille us all when she was driving it and we all felt a little responsible for her now.
after a long talk she wander out of the van finally and said she had to go home and we all agreed we'd take her there if WE drove but then leave.
she eventually gave in, and we were off again, and on the way back she goes "oh those gas gages don't work, we're out of gas" and we kinda looked at each other wondering how she knew, and right about then the van sputtered but josh used his karisma to coast us into a gas station.
we argued back and forth about spending ALL the cash on booze (me at faullt) and tried to figure out what to do when the lady said suddenly out of the blue not to worry, in the same way she'd gotten liqour after hours and before we could ask or anything got out and went inside.
josh ever practical, got out and set up the nozzle and soon gas flowed into the tank.
magic we thought.
amazing.
and that's when the cop car lights went off.
we all shit twinkies.
we provided i.d.'s and all explained why were in the van to surly cops (i stashed my booze) and then the odd thing hapened where she came out and they talked to her i got snippets to thier conversation:
"So ___________(they knew her by full name) what are you doing this time.?"
ememememememme
"Uh huh, well, we know about the tragedy. And we are sorry, but you can't keep doing stuff like this."
mememememememe
all the time we were sure were gonna be in jail, sure that our story of driving her van for her because she was wasted was gonna sound like we kidnapped her or worse how do you tell a cop you were hitchhiking and a lady picked you up and was too drunk to drive and 3 dudes talked her into letting the biggest most threatening dude drive simple because he was the best driver beween us? shit it all seemed like a lie to us and we had lived it only awhile before!
well then they shone lights on us again gave us i.d.'s back and said "alright."
and she got back in and we swallowed our hearts back into our chests.
as we drove off the lady babelled about how we had to got her house. but we couldn't wake her husbend. he's angry. he has guns. but you know how he is. ect.
we started to argue.
josh said ditch.
mole said get there then make an exuse to go and not go in.
i said go and explain.
well, josh can still kick my ass, he's huge and he won, and we at least got her really close to where her home was josh pulled over and then he said "RUN!" and we all jumped out and just ran leaving her and her van a very short distance from her home.
somehow later we ended up finding the girls that ditched us, and somehow we had come up with gas money hitching back and the girls sat in embarassed silence as we paid the way back in the car and they pretended they hadn't left us for random hippies who later fucked them over.
