I work with a bunch of foul-mouthed, hard-partyin' crazy people, so it's not like I have to lie about what goes on at the runs. But being in the middle of New York City, it's hard to explain the culture to people who grew up here. I get a lot of, "You drove 4 hours just to go sit in a field and drink beer?"

On the other hand, the lowriders in my neighborhood where I live totally get it. When I'm out working on my van in the street, I get nothing but respect from them.

I tell people that I spent the weekend at the biggest 3 day tailgate party in the East.

Some people will get it, some won't. Ive taken enough time off to go vanning that my boss and co workers know the drill. Didn't really have to ask for it off, they just assumed I was going. Some of them even wanted to see the video I shot.

How is sitting in a field drinking with your buddies and their awesome vans any different or "crazier" then getting up at the crack of dawn to sit in a boat and not catch anything; or a tree and not shoot anything. To each their own I suppose

Here at work they think that, every so often, we join up with a band of heathens, drink moonshine, smoke weed, eat mushrooms and dance naked around a bonfire to heavy metal rock while worshiping skulls or something.

I have done nothing to propagate nor dissuade them from that notion. grin
