Homeless Movie Lovers Rejoice!

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

I've been living outa my van for a year with 3 tvs & tons of other stuff in storage.
So I need to catch up on movies altho I've seen a lot in theaters.
I've never had a big screen tv. The biggest one I've got is a 32" Sony Trinitron.
I've never had a laptop either so I'm thinking about getting a Macbook Pro with 17" screen.
They average about 9 hun used & I found one that is super loaded for that price!
The beauty of these is you can not only watch movies in a van or ANYWHERE
but you can use 'em onstage for those backing tracks & so forth.
Last night a friend asked me, "Why doncha just get a little portable dvd player at Walmart?"
So today I checked 'em out & tho they start at about $60 the best Sony ones  are 2 hun + & they're only 9" or 10" screens.
Then I checked out the Big Screen TVS & Lo & BEHOLD they've got portable 42" screens for about 9 hun now!
The same price as a used Macbook but of course without Pro Tools capabilities...
...until you connect your Macbook into it! which gives you not only backing tracks onstage, but LIGHTSHOW capabilities!!
Eventually I will have BOTH & ROCK stages with 'em!!
That justifies buying the 42 inch MEGA TV, doncha think?
For now I just wanna watch movies & I can do that IN ROYAL STYLE in my van with this wi-fi sucker by just buying a $70 broadband gizmo & paying $40 a mo. for a Virgin connection.
Then I can watch movies & stuff 24/7 on a 42" screen!

Might help me seduce ladies into my Shaggin' Wagon tooo
Neee-ya ha haaaa

Hmmmm I reckon I'd be needin' a generator atop ze van for a Big Screen.
Still....considering it!

May wait til Black Friday!

I'd focus on finding somewhere to live before buying a big screen TV, but that's just me.  Probably more difficult to have 50 year old basses stolen from a house than a van too.

I've got a mortgage and a car payment among other things and still can't afford a flat screen tv.

A roof over your head Terr the most important thing.

[eb2]

Me too.  I vote for an address over sleeping in cars, or under a highway, office building stairwells, etc.  And paying for storage.  It would make for a good book though.

[Lightyear]

I'll pile on too - a roof over you head trumps a TV.

Be safe bro

the terr story reminds me of the saga of john from the old board. with minor differences of course. enough said on this before i get in trouble again.

I'm just hopin' for good things for Rhythm N. Bliss.  Be well!

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Yeah, you guys are probly right who say to get a place.
I just got SO fed up with the people I had houses with.
I'm diggin' the solitude! My van's roof is fine, really. lol
It's a conversion van so it's pretty cool & comfy.
I just thot watching movies would make it feel more like home, y'know?
As far as being SECURE--I would CHAIN that sucker up!
Thinking about making my van like an armored car! Seriously.

What I really need is a BIG warehouse space for a music & art studio!!
So I'm gonna stay focused on that & forget a laptop or tv.
These library puters are ok & FREE to use, & a cyber cafe I go to is only $2 an hour!!
The puters in both places have been running REAL freakin' s-l-o-w lately tho.

The new Vizio 42", 47" & 55" tvs have wifi internet action!
The remote opens up into a keyboard. Pretty spiffy!!!
Hey Hornisse~ You can get a regular 42" Vizio for 5 bills now. wow

Well, some weather we're having, eh?

Well, some weather we're having, eh?

Lots of hot air.

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Had my first sitar lesson today. It was AWESOME! My teacher ROCKS!
I can sit in the back of my van & play.
That's better than a laptop &/or tv anyday!! ..or night.

Weather's GREAT here in Surf City btw. Going to the beach tomorrow!
