Pre Trip – Recap of the Drive to Blog World

October 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Last week we embarked on our “pre-road trip” journey to Blog World.  In recap we drove over 2,500 miles from New York City to Las Vegas. Busted a tire at 3am in the middle of nowhere, Iowa.  Found a Sonic for a much needed Cherry Limeade. Ran out of gas in Utah. Saw an amazing sunset in Colorado. Arrived in time for Blog World. Caught up with good friends. All in all it was very exhausting, but a great trip.

We are starting our Rise of the Cubicle Farmer road trip tomorrow.  We are driving to Mesa, Arizona to speak with Pam Slim author of Escape from Cubicle Nation, a perfect start to our live documentary if you ask me.

It’s a Beautiful Morning

October 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment

We are driving to Blog World this week and will be launching out Rise of the Cubicle Farmer road trip from Blog World on Friday, but we decided to document our trip out to Vegas. I like to call this the pre-road trip. Today we drove over 12 hours, but early in the day we stopped in a little town in Pennsylvania where AJ and Tony had a little old fashioned fun.
