And so today, our Sirius Radio Contest ends. We got some great entries, and if we could give away more Grateful Dead gear and free radios we would. But in the end, we had to pick a winner.

So congrats go out to David, who wowed us with his tale of (possibly illegal?) border crossings and substance-fueled fun.

We bought the 35-foot British Leyland powered bus from a clown troop, outfitted it with bunks for eight and headed north to play our way across Canada. We had no gigs lined up. But we carried enough idealism with us from the '60s to convince ourselves that if we showed up, the gigs would follow.

We had some great entries for our Sirius Radio Contest, a couple of which we posted yesterday.

What could top those tales of roadside pit stops, vans with bunk beds and small town police stations? How 'bout Jaunted reader Noah's tale of going to see the Grateful Dead. There's nothing like rental car woes to earn our sympathy. ]]> pbb 2007-11-06T16:31:37-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/11/5/143929/949

Last week, our Sirius Radio Contest wrapped, and we got some killer entries. We asked to hear your road trip stories, and you didn't disappoint with tales of breakdowns, "smokables" and "freaks in a clown bus."

Today, we bring you our two honorable mentions. Terri managed to make it to see Roger Waters, despite the best efforts of her buddies. And Anastasia endured about all you could imagine to make it to a Mike Doughty show in Chicago.

Tomorrow, we'll bring you our runner-up entry before revealing the big winner on Wednesday. ]]> pbb 2007-11-05T15:00:01-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/10/31/154012/10
