Volks, Just before heading to Baja I received the Documentary DVD "The Journey" We viewed it at the campout and all thoroughly enjoyed the film. Excellent Documentary DVD and highly recommended for the for the VW Bus enthusiast. DVD $19.99 http://www.thejourneyfilm.com/journeyfilm/welcome.html In 1993, Eric Saperston graduated from college, hopped into a 1971 Volkswagen Bus with his golden retriever, and set off to follow the Grateful Dead. What a long, strange trip it turned out to be. Challenged by his college mentor to make his Deadhead meanderings more meaningful, Saperston hit upon an idea that rerouted both his tour and his life. As he puts it, "I decided to call up some of the most powerful people in the world and ask them out for a cup of coffee." Interviews with: Jimmy Carter, Senator Max Cleland, Billy Crystal, Billy Frank Jr., Jerry Garcia, Donald Keough, Ken Kesey, Bernie Marcus, Kent C. Nelson, Governor Ann Richards, Monty Roberts, William S. Sessions, Henry Winkler and Hazel Wolf. The result, is "The Journey", a 91-minute documentary that chronicles Saperston's three years on the road asking an array of figures for advice on how to lead a successful life.
Here are some of the facts: 1 Volkswagen Bus 4 passengers 1,825 days on the road 176 interviews with wise and successful people 1 accident 200 interviews with college students 1 bus fire 77 speaking engagements 1 meeting with a President of The United States 2 trips to the veterinarian 11 parking tickets 1 trip to NASA 1 backstage visit with the Grateful Dead 27 bounced checks 34 completed journals 370 hours of footage And one hell of a good time!
