transportation (2)

We, at the Bro Futurists Institute of Pursuing Awesomeness (BFIPA – pronounced: bee – fippa), like to keep things on the move; on a roll, if you will.

One of the interesting things about Southern California, specifically Orange and LA Counties, is that we have really crappy mass transit systems. Well, it’s not so much that they are crappy, as much as it has to do with the time period in which these cities were developed. These counties were developed after the time of the automobile; or, concurrently with the development of the automobile. So, there are these pods of cities that are all roughly 20 miles from each other.

Thus, most of us have grown very accustomed to having a car and working it in steadily to our lifestyle. And for those of us who have jobs in other cities, or are in other things in other cities, we kinda need a car. I know need is sometimes a dirty word, but allow me it for the sake of conversation.

What I’m really trying to get at is – if you’re gonna drive, do it in style. And I’m not advocating an abandonment to the responsibility that we all have to steward our resources well, I’m just saying keep it real.


For instance, our friends at the Hobosoul are definitely
keeping it real.
As I mentioned earlier, Sam Arthur is keeping it real.
Between our immediate group of artist and friends, we have quite a collection of awesome transportation: 73 Winnebago, 65 Barracuda, Sam’s Mercedes (Year?), 86 Chevy High Cube, Chrysler Le Baron (Year?), O’Brien’s kick ass Land Rover (’61, i think?), Countless beautiful bicycles, skateboards, and now an 8 foot wooden row boat!
