MEETING THE PRESS ON CAPITOL HILL

L1005968


Well maybe we didn’t have momentum in government circles, but it was nice to find out we had a little momentum in pop culture. Thanks to all the people who’ve been following us and the growing popularity of the site, we landed an interview with a reporter from the Associated Press. There weren’t any Senators or Congressmen there, but a few of them sent staff members, who were kind enough to drop by and say hello despite the cold rain. We weren’t sure if the reporter’s story would get picked up, but a few hours later the web seemed to explode with syndicated goodness as AP affiliates nationwide began running the story online. After two weeks of relative anonymity, traveling hundreds of miles on back roads through strange towns large and small, this kind of notoriety was wholly unexpected. Brian and I were floored by the coverage, and we felt totally indebted to all the people out there who helped generate enough buzz to make this happen. Maybe someone would notice now. Maybe that someone would be Obama.

What We're Doing

Our plan is to retrace the route of the automotive CEOs who went to Washington DC asking for government loans. But instead of looking for aid, we'd like to present President Obama with a homegrown solution to the transportation crisis. And instead of flying in a corporate jet, we're riding Brammo Enertia powercycles. We're just a couple of guys who work for Brammo, but we want to show that there's a better way to get from Point A to Point B. And we want to have a little fun while we're doing it. So join us as we surf from plug to plug in a quest to meet Obama, fueled by nothing more than electricity and the kindness of everyday Americans.
