Geek Tour 2011

Hey guys, so I’m going to try to start blogging here more often, but to start here is a post explaining my trip that is coming up in March. I’ve been asked the details about this several times so here you go! =)

The Trip

Last year my friend @alexeckermann (from Australia) and I got to talking one late night on Skype and decided that we wanted to do a trip across the US. For awhile this was just talks and nothing serious but we decided to keep planning and try to do this trip. Late 2010 we decided to do the trip and to start seriously planning and pre-paying for things.

We spent several months planning out every detail of the trip from locations, to flights, to accommodations, costs, etc even down to a day-by-day schedule of what we will be doing, who we are meeting with etc.

You ask why are we doing this?

Simple, Alex wants to see the US, and I wanted to also see some of these cities again or for the first time. It’s a great opportunity for us to meet, hangout, and enjoy great parts of the US; both from a business and fun standpoint.

Where are you going?

Well here is a break-down of the cities we are visiting.

March 1st - 8th: San Francisco (Surrounding Areas/Cities)
March 9th - 11th: Yosemite National Forest/Park
March 12th - 15th: Los Angeles (Surrounding Areas/Cities)
March 16th - 17th: Las Vegas (Hover Dam & Grand Canyon)
March 18th - 22nd: New York City (Surrounding Areas/Cities)
March 23rd - 25th: Washington DC (Surrounding Areas/Cities)
March 26th - 30th: Florida
March 31st: Alex flys back to Australia

Random Notes:

During the drive from LA to LV we will be stopping off at places like Joshua Tree National park to see it and shoot time-lapses.
March 1st, I fly out of Tampa to LA with a connect in Atlanta, will be in LA for a few hours to meetup with Alex, then we both fly up to SF. All in that first day. Crazy.

What interesting things or places are you seeing during this trip?

During this entire trip we are shooting both photos, videos, and time-lapses.

We are visiting most of the popular tourist like things in these cities.

While we are in SF we are going to try to visit the following companies:
