It involves driving a ridiculous contraption through rough terrain, raising money for worthy charities, and (hopefully) not dying in the process.<br /><br />He and his friend, Peter, have a <a href="http://mototaxijunket11sr.theadventurists.com/index.php?mode=teamwebsites&amp;name=the-pisco-sour-project">team blog</a> on the Junket's website. If you'd like to follow their progress, or even donate, you can do so there. I know money is tight, but they really are great charities--and as a bonus, donations of certain amounts will earn you prizes, a la Kickstarter. The lowest amount gets you a photograph print of your choice, and my brother takes some <a href="http://mrivard.smugmug.com/Travel/Turkey/14209079_w7VXx9#1049463542_cgTTf">mighty fine photographs</a> with his fancy camera.<br /><br />Regardless of whether or not you can (or are willing to) donate, send good vibes his way, if you please. It will not be the safest of adventures, and I'd like him to come home alive and in one piece. He owes me a framed photograph, after all.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nobleplatypus&ditemid=507846" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://nobleplatypus.dreamwidth.org/507846.html public 0 https://nobleplatypus.dreamwidth.org/502.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:03:33 GMT https://nobleplatypus.dreamwidth.org/502.html I figured it was time I got myself one of these just in case LJ becomes truly intolerable. Sigh.<br /><br />On the plus side, a new account with settings to tweak! :D<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=nobleplatypus&ditemid=502" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://nobleplatypus.dreamwidth.org/502.html public 0
