Mountains of Tinned Spaghetti
Ham hock, blue cheese, yam, potatoes, barley and all other manner of soup materials are collected by the Cosmic Barbers. To fill Barry’s stomach, we need supplies for the journey into the interior. Every other attempt had been scorned by the Almighty Galactic Sky Turtle of Choices. For some strange reason this Old Galactic Turtle wants us to stay in the city… (not cool almighty sky...

DIY PAINT A MOTORHOME ON VERY SMALL BUDGET
Roughly 9 months ago we came up with an idea for a red & white stripy bus we could all travel in around Canada and North America… about 2 months ago we purchased said bus and embarked on the journey of transforming the appearance from a beige 1981 GMC Citation with mission brown speed stripes to Barry. Not once up until then did I realize or consider how hard it could actually be, so...
Barry & The Law
“I had a dream last night that I was Super-man I could fly all around, I flew my ex-girlfriend to the Moon to have sex because she still loved me… We breathed as one.” “I’m coming back just for the snouts” (Mustache is Swiss) “Leave my ear hairs they are part of my extra sensory system” Smiles and laughter for Barry and The Cosmic Barber’s as the...
Tales of Barry's new coat, broken glasses, tears...
The suns rays filter softly through the Sugar Maple’s on this fine summer day. Local Asians beat out erratic rhythms on their tinny cymbals & drums from one end of the park and the local Baptist Church choir strum their guitars and sing Hallelujah from the other, as Captain Yom and I sweat over Barry taping and peeling to the rhythms of Trout Lake.
Baz is still nude but the candy...

The sea’s have been stormy for Barry of late… Shit has been hitting the fan on such a regular basis that we have taken to wearing wide brim hats constantly, Although now the sky’s are brightening and land sailing is smooth.
Barry is finally self sufficient and completely mobile… We were beginning to get accustomed to living in a confined space and the general upkeep duties...

CAPTAIN YOM'S BREAKAGE
It was a cold crisp Sunday morning, the adrenalin was still pumping through my veins from steering Barry’s rudder earlier that week and from the amazing ride through Pacific Spirit Park the night before.
Quick note: Thanks Jakub for said ride, another 2 months until the next one.
As I crossed 12th avenue my mind was elsewhere, probably on the beach in the Bahama’s having a...
STRANDED ON THE ISLAND
So we have money to purchase our Land Boat of rainbows and radness but alas once again our efforts have been thwarted by the evil Visa Travelex card that only lets us have a thousand treasures per day… Faaaarkk.
The ferry ride was nice though!
The proud owner of Barry… (so proud) Mike, kindly let us stay in his land boat last night as we had nowhere to stay on this crazy...
Welcome to Down Town Vancouver
Where do we start…. Nice to meet your moose but the Same-sun backpackers on Granville sucks a fat cheese curd with its un-friendly staff, its snail slow internet and bed bug infested dorm rooms. Anyway it was the first port of call in this foreign land of poutine and panhandlers.
We met a young man called Ryan who shook hands in such a strange way, with more rhinestone’s on his...

Barry Pimpin begins...
This is Barry, Barry is going to travel with us on our journey of a lifetime. The path is in no way defined for Barry, he just wants to take it as it comes. Barry has worked in the ambulance forces and has seen enough blood shed in his life and is seeking peace on the open road. He is heavily influenced by music.. His taste’s vary from obscure soup chants to Turkish 70’s psychedelia....
