RICH'S SHOW DIARY
Hoagie's Vanagon (1988 - 2005)
On Thursday Oct 13, 2005 Hoagie's Vanagon made its final journey after a long, crippling illness. Hoagie's Vanagon (or "That Fucking Van" as it had come to be known) was stricken with terminal engine failure Jan 8, 2005 en route to a 1234 show in Portland, OR. It remained on life support in Hoagie's driveway, except for the times when the members of 1234 had to move That Fucking Van across the street on gig nights, until its ultimate demise.

Hoagie's Vanagon was a veteran of countless gigs, construction jobs, and bouts of late night carousing. It recieved a Purple Heart after being riddled with gunfire while selflessly protecting a defenseless Beetle parked directly behind it.

Most of what occured inside That Fucking Van has been classified Top Secret, not to be declassified until 2075, or the next time Hoagie gets drunk.

Hoagie's Vanagon is survived by Stephen "Hoagie" Gero, and his feline life partner Jiggs. In lieu of flowers, Hoagie requests that you bring all of your friends to a 1234 show. That Fucking Van would have wanted it that way.
