SuperTrip
The Update
The SuperTrip is done and over with… well sort of. We went and returned, but now I have about 13,000 photos and 120 hours of glorious HD video to wade through. Someday the obligatory slideshow will be available, and some other day the video documentary will be premiered, for now… the website is still alive and kicking…
A little history…
About a year ago (spring 2006) I got an idea, why don’t I do some traveling? Then I thought to myself , why don’t you put together a small band of friends and go around the world for a summer? So then I called up my good friend John Losen , he said yes…
I then tried to recruit the best ninja I knew of at the time, Jason Carnihan… at first he was all for it, but then the financial ramifications pushed him out… but in the discussion he shared the opportunity with another old friend, Mark Fromer . Mark said, “BooYaa, I’m in!”
Then we tried to get Jason into it for a while, but it was a loosing battle…
So we switched our efforts towards recruiting Sea Wolfe (Carl Wolfe), he was interested and went with us on a training mission to NYC for the 2007 New Years festivities; but then he got kidnapped by a religious cult from Washington DC and we have not seen him since. We have spoken to him via telephone, but I know the CIA can fake that kind of thing… he is still considered MIA.
*** Update, SeaWolfe has been found and officialy chartered on SuperTrip ‘07 ***
Then my good friend and fellow movie producer, Greg Morrison , said he would go… because he does not have to make any year books during the summer. We will meet up with him for a few weeks.

Then I met Sarah, who is a friend of Greg’s (now we all go to church together at the vineyard in AA ), she is going to travel this summer as well and we will probably meet up with her there…
