The You Are Here Project has a new look and new content from our Summer 2006 trip!

Starting this week and every two weeks throughout the fall and winter, Flynn and Blue will be putting up a new five minute slideshow on The You Are Here Project’s website (www.theyouarehereproject.com).

This week log on to meet Brett and Sue in St. Louis, Missouri by clicking on their image on the map at our home page.

Also, this week a story about our project is featured in the online magazine Priceless.com (http://priceless.com/articles/a197.html) in an issue about “Meeting of the Minds.”

Thanks to all who helped make this possible!

We are back in New York again, and have been for a couple of months, working on finishing the project.  Blue is editing the audio from the interviews we did in each place, and Flynn then takes the audio (once its down to a reasonable length) and adds a selection of the photos in a flash slideshow of sorts.  Then it gets passed back and forth a few times, and tweaked each time.

Our plan is to launch the new material for the site starting next week, with a new slideshow for St. Louis, followed two weeks later with the next stop, and two weeks after that with the third, etc, etc, until we arrive California with the slideshows.

We've been getting a bit of traffic to the site, and are looking at ways of getting more.  Also, we have been reviewed or mentioned on a few other blogs like Rachet Up and Lissen Up and Jaunted.  And an article about The You Are Here Project is supposed to go up on priceless.com, a web magazine affiliated with Mastercard.  So, we are looking forward to that, which should come out October 2nd. 

Overall, we are really busy with this project, and it feels like the TRAVEL part, where we went to the places and met the people is really only a fraction of what there is to do.  What we're doing now, the post-production I guess you could call it, is really the invisible part, but just as much work, or more.

We are still in touch with most of the people we met on the trip, via email, and its been really great getting to go through the tape and images and relive the experiences we had with each person.  They were all so interesting and special to us, now its just a question of translating that into a form where other people can relate to it and care about it, who weren't there with us.

More soon!
