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

Hey, Amtrekker! WTF: Hey Team, Here’s a quick update to keep all you crazy kids in the loop. I haven’t had a chance to edit the horse through the covered bridge footage or the Amtrekkapalooza footage yet but those will be the next two videos and they should both be up by the middle of next week. The most notable […]    read more
Party People: Hey Team, Because of some weird technical stuff that isn’t worth explaining I had to bury today’s post deeper in the site. It’s videos from some of the folks that couldn’t make it to the big Amtrekkapalooza! It will take awhile to load. LOTS of videos. It’s right here. Thanks! Brett.    read more
The End. (kinda) [pictures later]: Hey Team, I’m done. That’s the first time I’ve ever had the chance to START a post with that line. Yesterday was completely surreal. Driving up to my house my stomach was filled with butterflies and I was even shaking with anticipation. As we pulled up to the gate of the two acre parcel my folks live […]    read more
Bad News is Good?: Hey Team, When I first moved to Los Angeles after college, before I had even landed my first job at an ad agency, I was watching a LOT of news. (The burden of being broke, unemployed and in a strange city without friends.) Naturally it didn’t take long before I started getting REALLY depressed. You all […]    read more
Auditions for Icabod Crane: Hey Team, Wow! It finally happened. For the last week and a half the awesome team over at CNN’s News To Me has been scrambling to try to put me, a horse and a covered bridge together at the same point in time and space. I can’t tell you how many calls I got from the […]    read more
Instructions: Hey Team, Here a copy of the email I sent out a couple days ago (follow the instructions therein if you haven’t already): I just had a GREAT suggestion for all you folks that absolutely, without a doubt, don’t have a chance of making it this Saturday for the big homecoming! (For those of you that do […]    read more
Death of the Dog?: Hey Team, If everything goes well this week then I JUST got off my last greyhound for a long, long time (I hope). I was curled up in the fetal position and unconscious for most of the ride so there are no good carny stories to come out of it but the was a surprise wakeup […]    read more
The Daily Buzz: Hey Team, I was on a morning show called The Daily Buzz this morning! They gave me a call a couple days ago from a San Diego number but I didn’t have my phone on me. When they called again yesterday I couldn’t answer because I was in an attraction at EPCOT. Eventually I called back, […]    read more
Not Safe For PETA: Hey Team, Yesterday brought with it a five am wake up call, which brought with it some interesting new experiences. For instance I now know that there actually is a five am…and that it’s apparently legal to wake someone up at that time. Who knew? On a brighter side (Hmm…interesting choice of words, brain. The sun wasn’t […]    read more
#28 SCUBA Diving in the Atlantic! [*updated with pictures!*]: Hey Team, Guess who went SCUBA diving in the Atlantic… Hmm…this is a dumb game. I can’t even hear you. Oh well. The answer: ME! After heading down to Sebring, FL with The Getaway Girl and meeting her family (Who, I’m told, were pretty leery of homeless folk crashing their lodgings…until they met me.) we borrowed her dad’s SCUBA […]    read more
