Albany Hippies

While visiting the wifey on my vacation, I came across this awesome hippie van on one of our many long walks. Now, all of my friends know my stance on hippies, especially the ones that I catch protesting outside the Reading Terminal Market. I’d like to put them in a sack, toss the sack in a river, and hurl the river into space.

But I do like hippie vans.

And this one was a doozie.

Where The Wild Things Are?!? Amazing.

Did you know that Where The Wild Things Are is being made into a movie? Kinda psyched, especially with someone like Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) directing and Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius) writing the screenplay. How can it NOT be good?

Ah hippies. Please spend more time making awesome looking vans and less time wasting your lives protesting. Thanks.

  3. I also love hippie vans! and I love where the wild things grow. I find it interesting that they specified that the Banana was a Dole banana.

    And also, the pic you took of the review mirror and “object in mirror may…” is awesome. Love it. Love you. The end.

  6. Loved these photos! My parents hippied up a car back in the late 60s. The photos was so cool! Wish I still had it. They weren’t really hippies. They just wanted to have fun painting their crappy car.
