We made it to DC!!!

While we were driving thousands of miles all over 5 states on our crazy tour we ketp saying we have to get a ticket to the inauguration. We needed this go full circle. There was one other too, be on Oprah. Who wouldn’t want to meet Oprah.

How did we get tickets??? Well Lisa, with her amazing ability to make things happen, managed to manifest a ticket and then shortly after I ‘won’ a ticket as well. It was really all her doing because I had sort of given up. After 3 months of traveling I was burnt. Lisa had just taken time out of her life to help me move myself and the Stealth Van back to Seattle. Taking another trip seemed nuts even for a nomad like myself. But when you get the call and you have Lisa on the other hand freaking out because she actually made it happen, its infectious. Next thing I know I’m on a place to DC for the ride of a lifetime.

I want to take a second to make something clear…there are friends and then there are friends who will take off and drive over a thousand miles through, snow, rain, ice and madness to help you move home. Now that’s another catagory all together if you ask me. I’ve said this to her several times but no words could convey how grateful I am to have such a great friend. Lisa and I  just met at and Integral conference in August 08 in the Bay Area so it says a lot that in those few short months it feels like we’ve been friends for a lifetime. We fight like brother and sister sometimes, having a twin myself I find that to be a good sign. You know a friendship, or any relationship, is going to push you somewhere good when it brings up shadow shit you never thought you had or you rarely ever see. So, again, thank you to the Universe for bringing Lisa and all her craziness in to my life!  I now have a partner in crime who’s always down for whatever adventure we can cook up.

Lisa doesn't take any shit

So we hit the Inauguration which my friend Harold called the Inaugulypse, so true.  Anyone who wants to catch up on our adventures can check out the posts we did for www.popandpolitics.com or link to it this way, here’s Lisa’s or here’s Jared’s.

It was the most brilliant spectacle I’ve ever seen. I probably wouldn’t do it twice but as a life experience I’m grateful, the people were beautiful, civil, sweet, openhearted and amazing.

Thanks to my friend Shea Van Horn we had a great little pad to call home and we got to reconnect after not seeing each other for 10 years.

We’ll be evolving Obamarama to be a part of the ongoing push to keep up the pressure. We need to pay attention and participate more than ever now. We have a real chance to make some big changes if we choose to. Lisa and I will be hitting the road again at some point with some new ideas we’re cooking up so stay tuned. Thanks for all the support!

We Finally GAVE BUSH THE BOOT!!
