A new six minute slideshow is up on The You Are Here Project's website!
This week click on Todd and Gina's photo on our site - www.theyouarehereproject.com - (see below to see where they are on the map) to meet them and their four kids, hilarious, talkative kids, who live in a new subdivision in Kansas City, Missouri.
Also, click on Bonus Materials for a conversation with Todd and Gina about the challenges (and rewards!) of trying to find someone to send us to next in order to keep the project going.

Thanks everybody, and stay tuned for our next stop on the trip soon!
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!
