All Hail Camper Van Beethoven and Its Spawn

Holy freakin' SHIT -- an UPDATE (3/3/02)

As I begin to prepare for the Cracker show with the Magnetic Motorworks unofficial band (Jonathan, Victor, Greg) opening at the Paradise in Boston on 3/9/02, I have reminded myself that I have my own little CVB pages here. And man, they're old. Amazingly enough, though, the links below to Camper-Van-Etc Central and the Camper-Van-Etc FAQ are NOT dead; however, they go to a site that, unfortunately, no longer appears to have any CVB-related information on it. Oh well. Try this site instead; it too admits to being outdated but has links to other sites that aren't outdated, maybe. However, lamentably, it appears the CVB-Etc FAQ itself has vanished from the face of the Web.

Now I'm going to go and try to figure out which shirt I'll wear to the show. We rejoin our outdated Web page: 





I've been doing Web stuff too long to get sucked down the rathole of compiling a hotlist of every known link about a subject only to have every last one go dead within a month or two. I mean, CVB was one of the great rock bands of our time and would be well worth the effort involved and all that, but I'm still not doing it, and besides, others already have. So I'll put just two outside links here, and you (52.14.168.56) and I can just hope they don't go bad on us: 

    

  1. CamperVan-Etc Central, run by the admin of the campervan-etc mailing list, and

  2. The related CamperVan-Etc FAQ, which gets its own link here mainly because a posting of mine to campervan-etc is in it.

I have created this page because today, March 16, 1998, maybe a year after I got a flatbed scanner, it occurred to me that I could scan that t-shirt and post it to illustrate exactly what I described (a shirt the design origins of which, btw, are revealed by Jonathan Segel in the entry after mine in the FAQ). 


While I'm at it, my other MoD shirt: Click here for larger, 32kb version and background on the shirt


Finally, here is the obligatory story of my experiences with Camper Van Beethoven et al.



That will be all. Thank you for your attention.
