In the spirit of the Ouachita Memory Project, we announce a new writing project: The Red Van Lounge logs.  Luke sent out the call for the project some time back:

Over winter break, Jim & I (the people, not the constellation) discussed a book we could make, but it will take all of us. In this book, photos of the Red Van Lounge will accompany stories of the adventures that surround it. Jim has plenty of images, as you can imagine. What we need are stories.

In its heyday, Jim drove that van across the country & as far north as Chicago and south at least to Dallas. He served us tea and freeze dried stew in Arkadelphia. I was there some of the time, so high I can’t remember.

So, I’m asking for your stories, anything you remember about Jim & the Red Van Lounge. Enough time has passed for him to assume I’ve forgotten all about it. That suits me.

If you have something you would like to contribute, you can either leave a comment here and Rix will email you get your submission.  Or you can go to the contact page and drop us a line that way.
