Have you ever thought about just breaking away from the confi nes of a hum-drum, boring life? or, maybe you are in an abusive or destructive relationship that you dream of escaping? Well, thats exactly what Jamie & Lisa did in the summer of 1976! The day after Jamies 16th birthday party, high on mushrooms, Jamie and Lisa stole her dads car and ran away from home! Too many years of constant fi ghting at home, and a mother who was needlessly harsh & strict, Jamie just wanted OUT at any cost! Her BFF, Lisa was more than happy to oblige! Come join the fun on this incredible journey, complete with romance, fun, partying, soul-seeking & non-stop adventure! Jamie was also in love with the late great singer/songwriter, Dan Fogelberg, and was dead-set on fi nding him in the Rockies, where she was convinced they would ultimately fall in love and live happily-ever-after, and make beautiful music together! Their spirit-quest took these two 16 year-old blonde bombshells from the suburbs of Houston, to a 5 month trip all over the western U.S.. From Aspen to Los Angeles, from mansions to sleeping bags in the car: from living it up to not knowing where they would find their next meal: from glamorous cocaine parties with rockstars, to peyote-trips with Indian Shaman in the Sangrede- Cristo Mountains, to a fi eld in Kansas full of marijuana trees that grew like cornfields! For these two little babes in the woods, this was One Incredible Summer! Everybody has seen Thelma & Louise, and Cheech & Chong! so, just imagine the combination of these two movies, and throw in a real- life-first-time-love-affair coupled with the desire to find the deeper meaning of life, and answers to the questions we have about life, and youve got one helluva great trip you just wish youd taken yourself!
