Amtrekker
Hey Team,
I’m an unemployed vagrant. All I have is a backpack full of technology, a shoestring budget and a very important list. When everything is crossed off my list I get to go home! Let me know if you want to trade one of those shoestrings for help. brett@amtrekker.com

July 4th of 2007 I left home on this little Amtrekker adventure of mine thinking, “Remember Swiss Family Robinson? Man, that kid on the ostrich looked like he was having a blast!” Fast-forward […]    read more
Day in the Life - Traveling to SLC [podcast]: HA! Made it! With time to spare even. If the train hadn’t been late in Reno I couldn’t have done it. Way to be quasi-lame Amtrak! Enjoy my day. Loading… [update] Here’s the youtube link for the podcast. OH! It’s here! Later. Brett. If you like seeing videos of me sitting around bored out of my mind then maybe you’ll want to make […]    read more
Everybody’s Creepy…Sometimes: Hey Team, Looks like it’s time to bail on Vegas. I made a couple of good connections that will probably bare fruit as far as being part of a stage illusion goes but the wheels of networking turn slowly in this city and I’m starting to get antsy. I have to take care of two quick […]    read more
No Cab Fare: Hey Team, I think I was kind of burnt out on this strange excuse for a city before I even got here. It’s hard to stay upbeat in a city where half the population thrives on cheating the other half. (Which is strange because normally I LOVE those stories.) Since I’ve been here I’ve had a […]    read more
Paging Mr. Copperfield: Hey Team, People write in fairly regularly with offers of help to cross things off the list. So for many of the objectives it’s just a matter of when and how I make it to the various regions in “these United States.” However, there are a select few that NO ONE ever writes in about. Naturally […]    read more
