On June 21, 1955 Sam Gray, David Rutford and Fred Hallberg begin their cruise down the Mississippi river from Saint Paul Minnesota on a homemade raft. The raft was built of barrels and planks. Power for the propeller was provided by a 1939 Chevrolet they had paid $15 for the car had 172,000 miles on it. The rear wheels of the car ran against another set of wheels which turned the propeller. The car’s steering wheel turned the raft’s rudder. In Saint Louis Missouri the men had a delay as the Chevy’s valves needed to be ground. Outside of Memphis Tennessee a bearing on the propeller shaft burned out but the men were able to repair it with tools borrowed from a barge crew. The men ran low on food as they discovered a stowaway was eating their food. The stowaway was a rat. The men tried fishing for food but caught nothing the entire trip. Other problems encountered included mosquitoes, driftwood in the river and backwash from passing barges. On July 25, 1955 the trio reached New Orleans. They planned to drive the Chevrolet back to Minnesota.

The three men made it back to Saint Paul driving the Chevrolet in 49 hours. The car used five gallons of oil for the return drive. Photo Ramsey County Historical Society.

PICTURE THIS! is a new show from Brandie Posey & Sam Varela: two girls who want to push the boundaries of what a comedy show can be. Picture This! is a live comedy show with stand-ups performing while they are drawn live by some of the best animators, cartoonists, and other artists in Hollywood, CA, SF, NYC and Portland. Picture This! has also debuted in Toronto, New Zealand and Australia! The comedians don't know what the animators are drawing and the animators don't know how the comedians will react. It may be weird. It may different. But it will be FUNNY!
