	The Magic Bus I’ve been seeking the elusive “magic bus” ever since I first read the book “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” in the mid eighties. This book tells the story of some far out hippies (the “Merry Pranksters”) who tripped across America in the 1960’s in a day glow school bus – spreading music, acid and love in their wake. As a college student during the Reagan eighties, I felt I’d missed the magic bus and that it had driven far out of sight long before my time. But during the annual Harmony Festival a man took me to a reincarnated magic bus co created by Scotty Miller – the Magic Bus Tripsmaster - and his artist companion Peri Pfenninger. I had just bought an Indian peace pipe and with the help of a few goddesses and pranksters we christened the pipe in the bus. The original magic bus from the sixties, called “Further”, is rusting and decaying in a field in Oregon. But its soul searching joyous journey lives on in Scott’s bus and the magic that is created by the ebb and flow of its passengers.
