A few years ago at the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous Tony and I ran into Beth as she was about to break down a large cardboard box to put it in the trash or burn it. After rescuing the box we hacked out a primitive van shape, got everyone to sign it, and with help from Nelda changed the words to “Little Boxes” to make an end of the RTR theme song.
The burning of the van has become a yearly tradition. Each year the van gets a little better and we change more songs.
Bob Wells, the founder of the RTR, made a video of this year’s Burning Van and included a short interview with us about the start of the tradition. Burning Van
Very nice...glad to see Bob is doing well too
ReplyDeleteIt hard to believe that the RTR started with only 40 odd people nine years ago. And by a self proclaimed introvert!
DeleteNext year, I will make Burning Van, for sure!
