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

Podcast Heads Up: Hey Team, Just a quick heads up. The podcast will be coming out on Friday this week thanks to all the intense madness that Good Morning America has rained down on the head of this one-man band. But it should be a good one. In other news the live Internet Superstar and Diggnation is tonight at Mighty […]    read more
Mid-flight Rescues: Hey Team, It looks like I survived another airline adventure. Narrowly dodging a grizzly fate and three-dollar Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My “day” actually started in Boston about three days ago but you kids have already heard some of that so we’ll just skip ahead: I was waiting for the bus to LaGuardia on a street corner in Queens […]    read more
New News: Hey Team, As if my life hasn’t been surreal enough for the last ten months things have just been getting progressively weirder. Here’s a fun fact: Since Friday in only four days four different Amtrekker interviews will be aired nationally a total of eleven times! How crazy is that? Made crazier by the thought that nothing else […]    read more
Good Morning Amtrekker: Hey Team, I had to wake up at the crack of dawn yesterday for the Good Morning America interview. I know when I say crack of dawn I usually MEAN noonish…but this time the sun wasn’t even up when I was. I also have to say that at that point (in light of the craziness from the […]    read more
How to: Be Interviewed on Good Morning America: Hey Team! Holy Geez! Twelve hours later and my mind is still going a million miles a minute. I couldn’t even remember most of what I said on Good Morning America today. It was a total out of body experience. However, I finally got a chance to watch the final product a few minutes ago and […]    read more
What’s Colbert Hiding?: Hey Team, Before I dive into the Colbert Report adventure I have some exciting news! Here’s an except from an email I got last night: “I wanted to write and tell you that the team here at “News to Me” have selected a few of our favorite stories from the past year to include in our anniversary […]    read more
TASTHIB - Boston Marathon Madness!: Hey Team, Here it is! Amtrekker travels to Boston, MA to take part in the madness that is the 112th Boston Marathon. Ladies beware… Sexy Man-leg ensues. Enjoy. Loading… Youtube version! Thanks, Team I’m done. Brett. I showed you leg. The least you could do is show some donational (it might be a word) love! Don’t let me stop you.    read more
Marathon Madness: Hey Team, The Boston Marathon is such a HUGE event. I never realized just how enormous the surrounding hoopla is on the big day. Not only that but there’s an insane dichotomy happening that you’d never believe unless you’ve seen it. For 20,000 visitors it’s one of the biggest races they’ll compete in all year and it’s […]    read more
Marathon Monday: Hey Team, After a fun-filled weekend in Cape Cod it looks like tomorrow will be my last full day in Boston for a long time (unless I decide to head back up for the “Internet Superstar” taping on the 26th). But at least I’ll be going out in style. Tomorrow (the 21st, probably today for most […]    read more
Silly Hat Bachelor Party! [updated with pictures!]: Hey Team, Here’s a fun story that should probably start with an apology, so… I’m sorry. Mostly to all the folks I handed Amtrekker business cards to yesterday (especially since many of these people were REALLY cool). Why the apology, you ask? Because (hopefully) those folks are reading the site today and learning that I helped lie […]    read more
