Topic: ASTROLOUNGE STORE at OSHINO DEAD

We opened a shop to the festival "OSHINO DEAD" of DEAD HEADS in Japan. OSHINO DEAD is a festival which deifies GRATEFUL DEAD and Jerry Garcia. A location is the foot in Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. We passed through a long, long trip like a road movie. The band performance cover of Grateful Dead. It is a small live event of few Dead Heads in Japan unfolded over three days. We attached handmade careers to the small car, carried camp goods, stacked two bicycles, and came here. I put the T-shirt of DOPE EYE on the market. The wife put the accessories of handmade crochet on the market. It became study although the result was not so good. It is better to have become cloudy since sunlight is strong although it was seldom fine. A vast forest and rich nature have spread in Asagiri Highland of the foot in here Mt. Fuji. There were few insects compared with Kyushu. There is no mosquito. It was raining and raining. Since the ground was muddy soon. I thought that I would like to see a band called MajesticCircus in which the member of Jamband called BIG FROG has participated. As for BIGFROG, I drew the poster of tour in the past. Majestic Circus performed my favorite song "Dancin' in the Streets" in the Grateful Dead; As long as I remembered, the band was not performs our favorite song "Ripple". However, since "Rippl" was sung by the nightly acoustic live by Old Dead Heads which lived in the next tent, we were glad. Oshino Dead have some restaurant and some miscellaneous goods store.







We left the house two days before OSHINO DEAD. We drove the local road by car for about 12 hours, and arrived at Okayama. We were tired out and took sufficient sleep in the motel. The next day and we rode on the expressway. Since a 660-cc small car was loaded with two bicycles and camp goods, it ran at 70 km/h. We ran the highway, taking a nap in parking area. The big truck passed us like the wide-ranging fish which rides on a current. The bad road in Osaka and the numerousness of cars were severe to the small car. Nagoya had some big bridges over a bay. When it went into new Tomei Expressway, the road of very beautiful pavement and the little of the car were glad. This photograph is the dawn included in new Tomei Expressway.






After the festival of Grateful Dead finished, Mt. Fuji which was not able to be seen once took out the face from the crevice between dark rain cloud. I looked at the No.1 Mt. Fuji of Japan for the first time. It was so beautiful...




This is one of the five lakes in the surroundings of Mt. Fuji "Lake Motosu." The appearance which is different feels Japanese taste-for-the-simple-and-quiet rust.








This is a small car which we love. She very often worked. And my wife also very often worked. I was tired, the insincere thing was told to the wife, and it was bad. From the heart to thank you for passing a trip together...
