Take the virtual tour, pan 360.

[Cybele]

Make sure the kitchen's well stocked, because I am ON that bus, making the Collective Breakfast.

(Collective Breakfast- think I'll name my band that.)

Who's driving? Don't let Hilby drive. Please.

[Butterfly Man]

you are either on it or off it

... the bus you seek is in drydock here in Los Angeles ... it was retired from the Ben & Jerry's tour back in the late 90's ... it has a stage underneath that rolls out ... only two bedrooms though but a great kitchen and a huge fuckin' freezer (we used it for ice cream)... you should get in touch with Special Events Dept. @ Ben & Jerry's (or talk to Ben or Jerry) ...

will you change the rainbow and cow paint job to the more appropriate flyswatter/decapitated nun motif?

[jester]

Pressshuusss Bussssh.

Okay YOU WIN

Is there no end to your cruelty. How do you beat Jester? You organise the bus ride of the century and you make sure he knows that he isn't on it.

Despite the fact that I spent much of my life dressed in an anorak, spotting the buses, checking the routes, talking tediously to the drivers on long journeys...

They couldn't escape, they had to sit there and drive the fucking bus, although once one driver did kick everybody except me off the bus in the middle of nowhere, deviate from his route, drive to the coast and jump out about 20 yards from the top of the cliff. He stalled the engine. I still can't work out what was going through the poor guys head....

...I knew all the best drivers, it made me very popular with the girls. I knew everybody, they would take it in turns to sit near me on the bus, they had a rota. Nobody understood the Wilts & Dorset Schedule as intricately as I did. I bought my Rover passes and travelled the countryside, not actully looking at the scenery, but examining the new technology in the raised double bench seats, you know, circa 1984 with the integrated linear moulgings....

I want to ride on the bus. I promise not to sing on the backseat.

Have you seen "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard? Probably not, it's an English must see movie for 8 year olds dating back to 1960. But you must see it if you are serious about the bus.

Now I'm Sorry. Now I cry real tears.... I wanna ride on the bus.

I crawl before you like Gollum. I want to ride on the presssshuss Bussssh! Smeagle know the way, follow smeagle.... I beg for mercy, look beneath the motley, and the mottled skin, once I was human, with a little mercy, a little care... who knows.... I dont' mind if Peter beats me, I don't mind if Dr Eric cooks the rabbits I catch...

Bus'

Martin. is this the kinda bus you had in mind?

[martin ewen]

No magrat it is in fact not the bus I had in mind but by all means continue posting us all your job prospects as they occur to you.

[martin ewen]

Thanks butterfly, OK TWO BUSES!
One bus for the quiet people and one bus for the noisy people. From time to time people who prefer the noisy bus MUST all swap to the quiet bus for a day. Its a sanity thing, trust me.
The production side of things would be contained in a TRUCK that would go ahead of the BUSES to set up stage. The folding stage might be good for promo shows but the main show would take place in a large modern tent much like the french trapeze circus's tent that has no inner supports and is grounded by pumping water into a circular tube at its base. They pack tent and seating into 2 containers.
The production would be low budget cirque, high on imagination and innovation and deliberately disjointed and fantastic.
I have written the opening piece in which 3 clowns (who will be the continuity motif) dig themselves up into the middle of the stage and discover gravity.
They will escape back down their hole between the other performances and will represent the audiences own coming to terms with the narrative.
Sets will be simple, large and hallucinogenic. The pieces themselves will be a mixture of intimate interaction and large sweeping interludes.
The styles will be mixed but very polished.
The cast should be no more than 20 people and the crew no more than 15.
Why? Because my VISION dictates so.

I'll happily perform magic tricks and bend balloons for money , but when it comes to sex, I would never compromise my art. And which bus, The Noisy Bus or The Quiet Bus, is the sexiest... reserve me a seat would ya?

jester - i do remember that peter said there is a roof rack for you.

that technically qualifies as you being on the bus.

martin - i love your master bus plan. where is this bus (or, busses - myself, i'd like a seat on both the quiet and noisy bus - as you can see there are moments when i'm either/or...) planning on traveling?

-k

[jester]

I can't go on the roof. It's the VIP lounge, the executive patio, the romantic balcony, it is the rooftop to top all tops.

Look at the link he gave us.

Martin shall stand upon this roof to wave at the adoring masses as you arrive in town.

I have studied the bus.. There is no room. The best I can hope for is a tow on my pennyfarthing.

[firegirl]

WOW - THAT'S A BUS!

my bad - i didn't look at the link before quoting peter.

there seems to be no room on the roof for you, true.

we could always store you in the luggage compartment.

that's a friggin' cool bus, martin.

Wild Jesta

Don't let jesta on the bus. Keep him in the truck with all the stage hardware. We don't need caged animals in this circus but there is nothing to stop us keeping a wild jesta in a cage is there? Jesta taming anyone? All you need is a chair and a whip.....

[jester]

GGGRRRRROAAARRRGGHHHHH!ROAR
