Hello Steve and Jo,
Sorry for not replying in time to give you the information about this
year's Whole Being festival. Unfortunately work is my only source for
email right now, and my only source of transportation had a major break
down last week, so I was unable to make it to work on Thursday or Friday.
(Do Toyotas have the "Karma" thing too? It knows I'm looking for a
Vanagon I think!). I really should have planned on putting more thur-oh
information about this event sooner.
This was a great event. I would really encourage everyone to try and make
it to this event next year. I think they may even have one in the winter
too. I met many new, very cool people this year, in addition to spending
time with all the friends I made last year. Many of the people attended
this event are also regular travelers to events such as "Burning Man" and
the "Rainbow Festival".
I even met this one woman that's been working on her own VW Buses, as
well as everyone else's around her, since the 60's. She said that one of
the reasons the wasserboxes have so much problems with their heads is
from not using the factory coolant. Something about phosphates she
thinks.
She also mentioned something about a big Grateful Dead type of
weekend-long concert happening in a couple of weeks in Canyon Country,
(which is near Newhall, north of Los Angeles). She said it isn't
something that is advertised, but you can get tickets from Ticketmaster.
I'll have to look into this and get everyone more info.
Also, I had my truck repaired by a VW shop in Venice called "Wabbit
Wepair". The mechanic that repaired my truck was super cool, as well as
was the manager. They found a few minor things, but I ended up needed my
whole carburetor repaired, and since I have over 253K miles on my truck,
I was concerned about having to foot the cost of rebuilding and it still
not working, so he gave me the name of a good shop near by that does
nothing but rebuild carburetors.
The Wabbit Wepair shop was fast and courteous, but somewhat expensive,
and NOT willing to negotiate! Oh well.
That's all for now,
Terry
