Nauseatingly self-congratulatory introductory project table aside, this site is a way to keep abreast of Stacy's latest projects, to keep in contact on her travels and to ineffectively learn about her on teh intarweb. Also, the world definitely needs more pink websites with content written in 3rd person. So, really - she's just doing her part.
I have added a list of needs for the next trip to the site.

Video from Leg 1 of the FatGirl Speaks Road Trip - December 8, 2007
I've added several videos from leg 1 of the FatGirl Speaks road trip to YouTube. These are personal videos about the journey itself, but star a few of the folks we interviewed as well!
I booked the plane tickets for the east coast trip last night! And made a car rental reservation as well. Jet Blue was having this brief 2-for-1 sale so, with the credit I already had, I got 2 round-trip tickets to NY for $158! Hot.
So I'll be gone from October 21st - December 9th. 7 weeks. We'll fly into New York and rent the car, probably get our bearings for a day or so and then take off for Toronto, Ontario and then ideally follow the better weather down the 2-state strip of the east coast. 18 states, plus toronto, ont in 7 weeks. It will be grueling, exhausting and amazing. It felt weird to actually buy the tickets. I think some part of me was feeling like this was some big farce until I actually slapped the visa down and set the wheel in motion. It's really happening. *gulp*
My friend also confirmed that she's going to go with me on the midwest portion of the trip. 2 months in a car. Eegads. Tentative dates are from Mid-March to Mid-May.
I'm not even thinking about the international stuff yet. I just can't. Too scary.
