That’s just the way she rolls.
Tin Can Tarot Vardo
It was a homey-looking stainless-steel-sheathed transport, so I decided to contact the owner of the vardo.
“Been passing by the parked “Tinct” often on my morning commute from the southlands. That thing is definitely compact and I’d like to know its history – where you bought it, who modified it, etc., just out of curiosity.”
Madam Colleen responded:
“Thanks for your interest in Tin Can Tarot trailer.
It was an old 4×6 hauling trailer we cut off to use the trailer bed and build a new structure with maximum interior space possible, and that was round so it became a tin can. It is all custom fabricated by me and a variety of BurningMan friends and artisans who donated time and skills and other parts I paid for. It was and is a true labor of love.”
I didn’t ask her about my future. I already know more than I want to.

[Top image from here: “One unlucky day 13,000 years ago, a slight, malnourished teenager missed her footing and tumbled to the bottom of a 100-foot pit deep inside a cave in Mexico’s Yucatán. Rising seas flooded the cave and cut it off from the outside world—until a team of divers chanced upon her nearly complete skeleton in 2007.”]
Saturday Matinee – The Chantays, The Ventures, Johnny Thunders & The Vaughan Brothers
The Chantays were from Santa Ana, California. The oldest was 17, the youngest 14, when they recorded their 1962 hit “Pipeline” (according to the liner notes on my LP.) I was a kid in the midwest when I first heard it, and I liked it, but I didn’t equate it with surfing. I imagined a rock n’ roll sludge pump.
According to Wiki, the Chantays originally called the song “Liberty’s Whip” but I have my doubts.
A year later, The Ventures co-opted the classic. Not sure if royalties were paid but their version didn’t make Billboard’s Top 100.
Johnny Thunders‘ (nee New York Dolls) take was kinda different. Clip is apparently from here, circa 1989(?).
Jimmy Vaughan taught his brother guitar IIRC, and SRV took it from there. Video above from New Orleans 1987.
Jimmy Vaughan is an unsung guitar hero IMO.
Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow for more awesome than any human being can possibly handle.
