I have always wondered what a blind person would think of the Mercedes Pens Art Car. Its not just the color but the texture of the car I think is really cool. One day I was at the coffee shop and blind man in training came by and I asked him if he would like to touch the car and tell me what he thought. He said he loved the rich pen texture of the Mercedes Pens and his picture says it all.

Last week I was in St. Helena helping out at my father in laws business while he took some time off to go backpacking. When I finally got there, I decided to park the Mercedes Pens out on Main street, because with an art car like mine, hiding in the back would be a crime. I got lucky that day and was spotted by Jennifer Grayson who wrote me up on her blog. Jennifer is an operatically trained singer with a degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and founding editor of theredwhiteandgreen.com. She also just started writing a column for the HuffPost called EcoEtiquette, so kudos to you.
Mercedes Pens Pushing 10,000 Pens – Art Car Fest 08 in Berkeley
Well I made it through the Berkeley parade last Sunday for the last day of Art Car Fest 08. I was totally stressed out trying to get as many darn pens glued to my Mercedes Pens before the event but at some point I had enough. I finished my hub caps with tie wraps so the Mr. Sketch Scented Markers wouldn’t fly off the wheels like they did the first time. I installed the new orange seat covers and finished up the rear fins. There is still a lot of work to especially the sections with the really old pens. To all of you I met that day thanks for coming by, and thank you in advance for those of you who promised to send me all your old pens in the mail:)

20 Days Until Art Car Fest 08
I am totally behind on blogging but ahead in getting my car ready for this years Art Car Fest 08. I am in the process of remodeling, which only means taking old pens off the car and replacing them with fresh ones. I just finished the back fin of the car which sorta looks like a blob of pens all piled up, but trust its a fin. I want to get the car ready before I release any more photos and when I am done I will take the car out for some glamor shots of the Mercedes Pens. I will then flood Al Gores world wide web called the “Internet” with photos of my newly remodeled art car covered in about 10,000 pens. I am also going to buy some fuzzy orange seat covers for the front and make my own for the back seat, spruce up the fake grass and put some down in the back as well.
My daughters first ride in the Mercedes Pens Art Car, notice she is holding a “pen”. I wonder were she got that?
Pens from Chicago
A big thank you goes out to the person from Chicago who sent all these pens last Tuesday. It’s nice to know that someone would take the time to mail a bunch of pens to some yahoo in California with a crazy pen covered mercedes.
