This picture has a real story behind it. It all starts at the Circle Yer Wagens show put on by the AVWA. I was standing around and talking (while it was raining) with Steve, the guy who does the t-shirts for the AVWA. There is a saying, "It isn't an AVWA event without rain" and I said, "I know a guaranteed way to keep it from raining next event. Either print about 100 rain slickers with the AVWA logo on them, or incorporate rain ito the next t-shirt." This is where I came up with the idea for the next Hippie Days shirt design. I'm really into The Doors, so I remembered their song, Riders On the Storm , and since Hippie Days is a Road Rally, I couldn't help but make the conntection. Anyways, I was joking and said something to him about it and how we should have Campmiester (AVWA camping guru) have his head hangin out the side of a Beetle with broken wipers. We both laughed and went on talking. Then, in Mr. White's history class, I drew out a little scetch. Later I scanned it in, colored it, and sent it to him as a joke. Steve liked the shirt, but already had all of the '99 shirt designs made out. I can't wait to see them.
