    Whatever happened to the guy who used to freeload his breakfast and swim in the hotel pool for free? Anybody remember the thread title that was in or the dude's or dudette's name? I think the thread may have been locked under the excuse of promoting stealing or breaking the law or something but that guy or gal had some stories. Anyone going to try any of his tricks this tour?

    Peace.

    Peace.

    Sounds interesting. I never tried those tricks but you can do some of these things semi-legit. I showered in a hotel room once between the occupants leaving and the cleaning crew coming in. I was dirt poor, living in a van and trying to find work. I used one of the clean towels and threw a few bucks on the counter for the cleaning lady.

    Another time, again during van life, I needed a place to park and crash and found a winery on the coast that was closed for the night. I went to find someone and make sure it was ok. No one was around but the back door to the tasting room and wine storage barn was open so I went in, said "hi" to the barn cat, checked the price sheet, grabbed a bottle of the most affordable zinfandel, left the money on the counter and headed for the van. The next morning, a bit groggy headed, I got up before anyone was around, went back in and left a note pointing out that I'd paid for the wine and guarded the place for the night, signed it "Thanks, The Night Guard," and headed on down the road.

    I knew a guy that kept his card to Embassy Suites and would eat their buffet a few times a week.

    Mr. Lux doing the right thing even in his time of need. Nowadays, I'm afraid, they would have sicked the dogs on you, given you a beat down, impounded your van, dragged your ass to court and then thrown your ass in jail for 30 days for how dareth you drinketh MY wine! Even if you did pay for it. Honorable man, that Mr. Lux.

    I met DS in Spokane. I liked the dude......but not everyone did. .

    :-$
    Yeah, most people that have actually hung with in person like him...he's a decent fellow. He's still around...just not here..;)
    And if you liked the ratfucking stuff, you'd love the green couch story

    Whatever happened to the guy who used to freeload his breakfast and swim in the hotel pool for free? Anybody remember the thread title that was in or the dude's or dudette's name? I think the thread may have been locked under the excuse of promoting stealing or breaking the law or something but that guy or gal had some stories. Anyone going to try any of his tricks this tour?

    Peace.


    That was DS. Banned for life.
    That's unfortunate. That thread had my sides hurting from laughing so hard.

    Peace.

    I've met DS before...........he's not all there.

    Sounds interesting. I never tried those tricks but you can do some of these things semi-legit. I showered in a hotel room once between the occupants leaving and the cleaning crew coming in. I was dirt poor, living in a van and trying to find work. I used one of the clean towels and threw a few bucks on the counter for the cleaning lady.

    Another time, again during van life, I needed a place to park and crash and found a winery on the coast that was closed for the night. I went to find someone and make sure it was ok. No one was around but the back door to the tasting room and wine storage barn was open so I went in, said "hi" to the barn cat, checked the price sheet, grabbed a bottle of the most affordable zinfandel, left the money on the counter and headed for the van. The next morning, a bit groggy headed, I got up before anyone was around, went back in and left a note pointing out that I'd paid for the wine and guarded the place for the night, signed it "Thanks, The Night Guard," and headed on down the road.



    Mr. Lux doing the right thing even in his time of need. Nowadays, I'm afraid, they would have sicked the dogs on you, given you a beat down, impounded your van, dragged your ass to court and then thrown your ass in jail for 30 days for how dareth you drinketh MY wine! Even if you did pay for it. Honorable man, that Mr. Lux.

    Did this happen in Reagan's California or before/after?

    Peace.
    Post Reagan. This was around 1996. I still buy a few bottles of wine from them (but never have had the nerve to tell them the story) now and then as penance, hahaha!

    D.S.! Yeah, one cool dude. I met him in Missoula. In fact, if it were not for D.S. I very likely would not have made it to the Missoula show. He bought my ticket! An amazingly generous thing to do. And the guy has a great sense of humor- though admittedly a bit too much for some- but a good guy all around. Miss him around here.

    Ah yes, Peter Wilson's California. You should tell them the story. You'll prolly get a chuckle out of it and maybe they'll give you a case of wine for being honest. Or they'll smile and engage you in conversation while someone in back calls the cops. Better check the statute of limitations on unlawful entry, theft, public drunkenness, illegal overnight camping, trespassing, etc. You did leave the sales tax amount too, right?

    Peace.
