Team The Great Canadian Beavers

YouTube Video

So I'm officially horrible at Internet.

 But our first YouTube video is up (or should be).

 The sound is also horrible, even though I tried my hardest to get the microphone up close and to speak loudly. But (I think) it's still audible (maybe?).

 If it's not, then you can just watch me flail around like a fool with the sound off. 

 

EDIT -- I don't think it's showing up yet? Well, _I_ can see it, so I assume in at least a few days everyone else will be able to. Not to fill you with anticipation, because really you shouldn't have any.

 EDIT #2: AHA! Now it is up. Apparently you have to press this pesky little thing called "publish". And to think before this I thought I was tech-competent. This makes me have serious doubts about my value when looking at the technicalities of our car. 

Preparations...

Well, currently we have no definitive team, vehicle, route or, really plan BUT! we have managed to secure ourselves a spot in the 2010 Mongol Rally all the way from Ontario, Canada so I'd say we're ready to get the ball rolling! 

Besides, we were told to not be too overprepared so....I would say we have that down pat wouldn't you?

Ideas are slowly being formed, suggested and (sometimes) promptly thrown out but we're making progress in **SOME** sort of direction and that's all that counts!

Eh.

Andrea Mason

Cheerleader extraordinaire and (perhaps former) drinking game champion. My one major downfall is I cannot eat, breathe and walk at the same time. I enjoy rapping to Ja Rule and feel my rendition of the classic "Put it On Me" may just save me at at least one border crossing.

Nick Detmer

Cheese, videogames, terrible music, gadgets, and tools. I used to have a job, then I quit to join the rally. Now I'm a wandering nomad searching for new buddies in strange places.
