Getting up close & personal with the projects, people, and companies that are featured on your site/in the green space could only be good for your business image, I would think. Because you'd be in the know because you were there, met people, did interviews, verified things, etc. I think people would be interested to follow you on the journey. The green press would probably eat it up. A sponsor would help defray costs naturally & would assure potential investors that this is serious business and you put considerable thought into it (and it's not just a gimmick).

I think the face time with potential users and clients would be very valuable. I just want to make sure that potential investors wouldn't think less of us because of it.

Plus your young. If you don't do it, you might regret it. You only live once, they say! ;) That's a pretty batty idea, however people do it all the time. Plus your young.

Crap. Haha, I really didn't think I'd actually want to go through with this, but now I'm thinking I should. Crap.

And it's a good crazy. Sounds like a lot of fun. Not sure I could get away for that long in the near future but I'd definitely follow your travels wistfully! Yes you are crazy. And it's a good crazy.

Also, having my own personal DJ for 6 weeks would be amazing. Totally, we could use an extra driver, that help us get more work done. Also, having my own personal DJ for 6 weeks would be amazing.

If we can find a more reliable vehicle, I'm totally interested. But I also think it could be great to renovate a classic Airstream. Maybe we could even certify it using LEED for Homes?
