Here's a sad update the story of Angel Hess, the hipster/hippie whose raggedy truck "Purple 53" once haunted Williamsburg: He's stuck in Colorado, where he says he's been scammed by a childhood friend who "hijacked" his truck.

"Did you get the press release? Everything sounds better with 'of art' after it, don't you think?" Filip Noterdaeme said from his bed, where he was under the covers. He wore a glued-on beard and squinted into the light at a tiny slide in his hand. "I'm smoking a Vermeer," he said, dropping the slide into his pipe. A taxidermied coyote, the museum's publicity director, sat in a pram with a microphone in front of its muzzle, and I could see myself on a closed-circuit TV on the other wall. There was a girl in the corner behind a tripod, videotaping us, as well as another guy with a camera. Are they are part of The Homeless Museum—now The Homeless Museum Of Art!—too? (They are not. They are journalism school kids from Columbia, making a project.)

We were excited when extremehipster Angel Hess wrote to Gawker, inviting us back to the truck in which he lives on the streets of Williamsburg for a tour. He just had to check his girlfriend's work schedule first (??), and we were all ready for a trip out to Purple 53, the bread truck he calls home that's also available as a sublet for only $1000 a month! Sadly, Angel quickly changed his mind about the upcoming commitment.

Remember Angel Hess, the "dance photographer" who lives in a '50s bread truck parked in Williamsburg? Good news! Now you can be just like him! Hello Miami Craigslist! "$1000 Artist House Williamsburg Brooklyn" you say?
