the geo chalker rides again

well, it didn't die. it did cost me a lot of money though. the water pump went out. it's nice to drive it without having to worry about it overheating though. here are the pics from the comedy night i spoke of earlier. they are a little fuzzy, not due to a camera, but because we had a light rain. just enough to wash a bit of the chalk away. we need a good hard rain to give it a clean slate.

i need two cc's of antifreeze. stat!

this saturday is world art car day. i was planning to drive the chalker in the seward arts festival parade. instead, it sits at an auto repair shop in st. paul. it wants to overheat, often. i keep putting in antifreeze but it keeps disappearing. and it's not leaking on the ground which leads me to believe that my bad seals are really bad and it's all leaking into the engine. this my friends is a very very bad thing.
bad=expensive.
me=poor.
if it's too expensive, i might have to just say goodbye to the chalker. i love driving an art car but it really isn't in that great of shape. i haven't decided what my breaking point is price wise.
i highly doubt they'll have it fixed by saturday. too bad. i was performing some improv at a comedy night on monday and many many people chalked up my car. lots of good things that i haven't been able to snap photos of yet.

let's hope that isn't the last time the chalker gets chalked.

with or without an e, it's still a good point

i got an email from a coworker the other day telling me a few of them did a little lunch chalking.

i walked out and found the following:

today a neighbor told me i should color large sections of it just one solid color. that would be great. but it's not my job to chalk it. only to document it. i offered him the task of a large chalking.

yesterday was a fun day. i drove to work to pick up a package (ROOMBA!!) and when i came out there were some teens walking by my car very slowly and reading the chalkings on it. i heard one say "cool, it's a chalk paint car." another one saw me walking towards them and asked "is this yours?" "yes it is, do you want to draw on it?" "no, we're in a hurry, but that's really cool."

later that evening, we drove to target and came out to the first anonymous chalking.

geo chalker doesn't have spell check and that's alright by me.
