Dharma has apparently been murdered.

this 14 yr old friend has a lot strange stories to tell the other dead cats he meets in the afterworld.
He lived with me on the road most of the 7 years of travel we shared. He endured Manhattan, post Katrina New Orleans, RNC, DNC, Pine Ridge, Rainbow Gathering, Malibu... he met a lot of cool people on the journey who loved him .. and seems to have been murdered by a neighbor. The last picture is what I assume to be his corpse found laying next to a box by the creek bed that had been ripped open by vultures. I had seen the corpse a couple days earlier when it still had hair. I suppose it's possible that it was not him but he's been gone a week...

Dharma's featured in the Old School version of our existence on the road.

If you missed the previous RIP NOmadjik Bus post, here's the back story on this. Part#1, Part#2

In classic Monty Python style, the bus just raised it's fist and cried "but I''m not dead yet!"

Shortly after being told the estimate was 5,768 dollars; which was a death blow to the bus, no brainer... I got another message from the shop but since I was downing beers I turned my phone off for awhile. 

The NEW Message:  They were real sorry, someone else's estimate had accidentally been stapled to my ticket.

The bus only needs a new oil cooler assembly, related items and services.

The Actual Estimate is $1,575.00
Now, while this estimate is at least feasable; it's not like I got an extra dime laying around.
I'll be focusing on paying jobs for awhile. 
If you have a paying job for a webmaster or video producer, I'm all ears.

If you feel compelled to donate for the cause
I'd love you forever and will send you a DVD of anything I've produced, just name it.
However, I need to say that the bus will No Longer be traveling back an forth across the country All The F'n Time as it has been for the last 3 years.  The remainder of it's life will consist mostly of regional use for off grid film screenings, music and guerilla 1st ammendment covered activist video projections (like this on a smaller scale).

UPDATE: Not Dead Yet

how do you write a eulogy for a bus?

the guy on the phone rattled off a list of things that needed fixed and then wrapped it up with an estimate of 57 68... it took a few seconds to realize he meant 5 thousand seven hundred and who the fuck cares dollars.

is this worth $5,800 more? ... no... it's not..

I could use some help stripping the gear and modifications out of it. This will need to be done soon so to not incur storage fees.  Bus is in Houston.  ... and I'm imMobile in Austin.

possible blown head waiting to get it looked at the coolant is gray with
the consistency of thin pudding. opinions here seem to think that oil
mixed with the coolant and that would explain why the oil level was down
this morning. I'm too far away to get towed to Austin.

Go to this if you're in NYC. 
I'd tell you when to go to see my work but that info is being given on a need to know basis and apparently no one needs to know.  It's very Anarchic.  "~)
