FULLREFUSAL Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Craziness...I left Alaska..I'm now in New Jersey for the summer...6000 miles in my bus, pulling my Blazer..We've posted a journal with some pics etc if anyone wants to see what the scenery looks like. It's hosted on my old site. Here's the URL: http://www.seanmmormelo.com/2005.htm Anyway, I highly recommend you all at least go to Alaska once in your lives and the drive will certainly be something you will never forget. www.seanmormelo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Let me see if I get this straight: you went from ALASKA you came to JERSEY If the culture shock doesn't kill you, the crack pipe will. Please tell me, it's "only for the summer"? PLEASE? I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FULLREFUSAL Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 LOLOLOL..Yea, well my family is in Jersey and nowhere near the crack laden part...It's really nice where I am, near the Delaware Water Gap and PA...Yes, it's only for the summer while i work on my bus to get it livable! www.seanmormelo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offramp Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Not suggestin' that Jersey is crack heaven, just sayin' that a switch from God's Country to Gotti's Country is totally extreme, nomesayin'? If it's family, then it's probably all good, as they say in some circles I am excluded from. After 'livable'...then where? I've upped my standards; now, up yours.

phaeton Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wow, and you drove through Soviet Canada.... I always heard that they threw their snowshoes and sleddogs at Yanks.... me goes to hide Seriously, great pics, and that's a helluva trek. I drove 6000 miles once, but it was in 3 trips across 5 years. Thanks for bringing so much to share with us Dr. Seuss: The Original White Rapper . WWND?

This shot is postcard perfect; you should submit it to a publishing agency. http://www.seanmmormelo.com/wIMG_2685.jpg Remarkable!!!

fantasticsound Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Did you come through Nashville?? (Asking because of your "heading to Nashville" location on your posts?) Sounds like it was quite the incredible trip. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Ah, the old Mat-Su valley. Matanuska Maid dairy products and all. I miss the place. I'll get back there someday. (shrug)... Oh, and see you passed through not far from here. I'm only about 50-60 miles from St. Joseph. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wow, Sean! I'm embarrassed I never checked out your website before. Love the music. And despite your self - described sound as Mellencamp meets (a male) Sheryl Crow, I'd say you sound more like Dan Fogleberg. I like it a lot. I assume, from reading your entries on the website, that the bus issues led to your staying in New Jersey for the summer. Will you be in Nashville at all? I'd be interested in working with you when you hit town. Oh.. and as the pet of 6 cats, I entirely understand your ongoing situation with Houdini cats. We have one who really likes to go outside. They have a way of silently sneaking out that is simply astounding. Anyway, good luck with the bus and your musical journey. Sounds like it's already been quite the quest.

FULLREFUSAL Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Thanks Neil! I'll be basing out of Nashville but really want to work my way into touring full time. The offtime will be spent in Nashville. By the way, I'd love to work with you when I get there. Hopefully I'll make a few trips there between now and the holidays to check things out etc. GREAT town! Oh, and that's funny about YOU being the pet of the 6 cats!!! LOL I know exactly how you feel... Take care mam. Originally posted by fantasticsound: Wow, Sean!

MikeT156 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Ah New Jersey. That's the place were "we" Pennsylvanians use to say "Ah, New Jersey, the land of crack houses, shopping centers, bad restaurants, and high prices." Oh and we'd add, "New Jersey is where you are sentenced to live if you're a non violent criminal." Let's see, one more "Washington retreated across the Delaware River after the battle of Trenton because he figured out where he was the next morning". A few friends of mine owned a large house about 15 miles northeast of the Delaware Water GAP (PA) and it was a very NICE area. They were close to a lake, rolling hills, lots of green areas, but pretty expensive. It beat hell out of East Orange. Mike T.

FULLREFUSAL Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Originally posted by Sylver: Great pics, thanks for sharing. How much did the bus run you? Thanks! The bus cost me $5000 but I had to put about another $5000 into it to get it into shape as it was sitting a while..Buses are awesome but they are not like any other truck..A typical truck mechanic knows nothing about them and will only screw up the bus..Belive me i know!! Also, everything is very expensive...Tires are 3-500 bucks a piece, etc etc..But in my view, it's worth it..Once you get the bus into good shape and with your regular upkeep it will last so much longer and perform so much better then any motorhome etc..These things were desiged to go a million miles or more!! I love it and am working on it the rest of the year to get it livable. www.seanmormelo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT156 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yep, Canadians are GREAT people. Too bad they have to live next to US. I remember going to Thousand Islands one summer. You could always tell who the Canadians were. They were the ones that were polite and had manners. Mike T.

MattFacingSouth Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Sean - great trip blog! I love reading these things. You were about a half-mile from us when you parked in the Sam's/WalMart lot (I know - they're not very creative around here when it comes to planning). You made it through in the nick of time, with all the rain we've had lately the mosquitoes are pretty bad this week. Anwyay, thanks for sharing!
