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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
