August 2023

August of 2023 was a crazy month for me. I am always a positive person and set goals especially during the summertime. We have also had some of the best weather I've ever seen in Seattle. I was on a mission to accomplish a lot of goals. So it was very unexpected to me that this series of events occurred. They all may seem unrelated to each other but they all coordinated together. First on August 6th my son and I attempted to fix an oil leak on my van. I rented a space at a do-it-yourself repair shop. We went in with the best of intentions but we're not able to fix the problem. That venture cost $1,100. Next my windows were shot out of my van by vandals with a pellet gun randomly. Then my friend's car was stolen and she asked if I could watch over it for her until it was to be taken in to be repaired. She had a rental car from the insurance company in the meantime but nowhere to keep the car. So I agreed that I would take very good care of her car. Then on August 10th at 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon the car was stolen from me. I had just put my core musical equipment in the hatchback to take with me to keep it safe because the windows on my van were shut up. We recovered the car the next day but of course all my equipment was gone and my friend's car was completely trashed by the thieves for no good reason. A week later we were supposed to take the car in to be fixed but it got stolen again. This time it was recovered the same day as I was on my way out of town to run sound for a wedding gig that had been booked for months. The car was now completely destroyed beyond repair and was totaled as a insurance claim. My friend now has to buy a new car.


I decided to enter into van Life 3 years ago and have been so happy that I did ever since. It has allowed me the freedom to get around and do many things that I couldn't have before. But it is also allowed me the opportunity to take gigs and be able to bring all my equipment accommodations with me so I have everything I need at any time.
