The Adventure Begins

Hey guys and gals, it's Draynen from Reddit's Fantastic Voyage.

First of all, I want to say thanks once again to everyone who has been donating their money, time and homes in order to make this whole crazy trip possible. It's truly an experience of a lifetime, and Jake and I are working hard to make sure we share as much of it with you as possible.

For the most up to minute information, I suggest our twitter feed. Yes, I know not everyone is a fan, but even after two days, we're already starting to figure out just how hard it is to keep all our devices powered and connected to the interblag.

Outside of that, there's a whole host of other ways to follow us along our journey:

  • Both Jake and myself are keeping blogs on FoodProof about all the interesting meals we eat while we're traveling around. Yesterday, Jake tricked me into eating brains. Pay no attention to the rising threat of the zombie apocalypse.
  • We have a (somewhat neglected now that we're traveling) YouTube channel. Our video chronicling our trip to the Reddit HQ, along with a small side project, should be available any minute now, actually...
  • Associated Content is sponsoring us to write the occasional blog for them over the coming weeks. Jake claims to be all over that first post, but the last time I looked over at his screen, he was googling for naked pictures of Velma from the Scooby Doo cartoon.
  • I just got the flickr collection up and running, and hopefully should be able to update this every day or two.
  • This can all be kind of confusing, and perhaps a little overwhelming, and it sure would be great if there were some place to aggregate all of this content into one place, and then maybe even vote on its quality, so that the most interesting things were featured more prominently. It's really too bad nothing like that exists.
All right, that's it for now. From Jake, myself, and of course, Gnarly the Narwhal, don't stop believing, streetlight people.
