Our recent wreck had the Mad Tea Party down, but not out for long. We now have a new (to us) van, which we purchased directly from our buddies the Wiyos. It’s just like dear old Homer (same year and everything), with fewer miles and plenty of attitude. We’ve started calling her Goldie, per our friend Erin’s suggestion. Let’s see if that name sticks.
Goldie is the fourth Mad Tea van in about the same number of years. Each of our former vans now represent a distinct phase of our career in my mind. I have a good feeling that this next phase will indeed be golden.
No matter what, we will “Respect the Van“.




I’m ready to move in baby!
