Back in my formidable highschool days, my bass player (and also Danny!'s trombone player) had an enormous econoline van that had pictures of skis and mountains and said "CAMP GROBELNY" on the side. The thing was freakin huge, but worked like a champ for us.

I miss that van.

You were lucky you got to use it! We had to cram an 6-piece band's worth of gear into a Camaro and a Civic!

Piebald toured in a van that runs on biodeisel. Has some kind of converter to allow them to take vegatable oil (grease) from restaurants' grease bins, which converts it to Biodeisel. That's a cheap tour!
