The past week has been pretty hectic but everything is in place for our departure and we're pretty much ready to rock out tonight at the launch party and leave tomorrow. Time to step into the void, jump off the cliff, have faith and ride the waves the universe provides.

What's unbelievable is all the people who have been helping us out.. the project really has it's own momentum now and all I really have to do is sit back and watch it all unfold. In the last week my good friends Jeanne Van Lankveld and Sarah Van Stiphout made us some beautiful curtains for the van's interior.. Amazing job ladies! Biggups!! Chris Graham welded a ladder and solid roof rack for the van.. (check Forbes' Blog for pics), Joe Touil a good friend in T.O. has set up a media launch at the College Street Bar on Wednesday Mar. 15th 8pm.. Amazing Work Brotha! The guys at ProtonMedia are rippin it up with the press and media releases!! And listen to this.. Wednesday night we go to sleep, friend Jasmine Jarjour forwards media release to Martin Landry up in Inuvik and when we wake up he's arranged dog sleds, a place to shower, internet access and two plane tickets to Holman Island (off Victoria Island) care of Sean Gray at Aklak Air!!! All I had to do was sleep.. madness.. people are so amazing and generous and we're very grateful!

In other news.. I had my first TV spot on CBC Newsworld.. national television.. yikes. I'd rather be behind the camera but Shana Cohen, Andrea Cardillo, Sarika Sehgal and producer Bernadette Vanneste made it all a very enjoyable experience. Right after the TV spot we raced over to CHUO for a radio interview on the Train with Chris Jack. Man I have to slow it down when I speak. All these interviews will be up in the press section of the Windpath Films website once Cory at ProtonMedia has some time to fix it up.

Aight that's it for now.. have to go build some media kits for tonight.. it's going to be a mad evening! We're Stoked!!!

Oh the reason for the title.. Escape Velocity comes from when astronauts go to space they need escape velocity to get out of earth's atmosphere.. we currently have plenty of escape velocity from everyone involved to send us on our way.

peace,
