Heyo.
Me and Bryce are in Philomath, a small town in Oregon. We stopped in order to call Kiko Denzer and the Cob Cottage Company, both of whom we're planning to visit, and chat with, in order to find out the best way to live. That is as close as I can get to our true reason.
Anyways enough with all the deep shizzle! While Bryce was calling his mom (Hi Pam!) I found a newspaper that said "Accordion Babes!" on the front and opened it up to find an article on a band that's playing tonight in Corvallis for 6$, called the Accordion Babes! Can you guess what their band looks like?
YEAHH!!!
Now we're really livin.
Anyhow, I thought I'd include a little piece on travelling in a veggie oil van that I may have left out: Finding Oil.
You may (if you're crazy) have looked behind restaurants and seen dumpsters marked "Grease only", and accordingly stayed well away. If you're totally pants-on-head nutso, you may have opened it up and seen the scene inside and let the lid slam shut and gone to clean your hands.
If you're me and Bryce, you sample it (by pouring it and watching the texture, not tasting it, though I have an amusing story to tell you sometime). Then you go in front of the restaurant if it's good, and say excuse me, we're travelling from Canada ("oh! you're CANADIANS!"), yes, and we were wondering if we could have some of your deep fryer oil and they either say, "that's gross, what? OK." or, alarmingly often, "no, we sell it to the biodiesel guys." Companies also want it, because they can process it and turn it into biodiesel, then sell it for tonsabucks, and they put stickers on the dumpsters that say "saving the environment! don't steal our grease or we'll fine you 500 dollars".
Anyways, me and Bryce have spent a lot of time staring into inky black greasy voids recently and talking with fast food managers. It's all a very humbling way to travel.
Songs we are about to learn:
Britney Spears - Criminal
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Snow (Hey oh)
The Doors - Love Her Madly
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realise
Can you guys learn either of these for me please? :)
