first post!

So, here we are. The B-Team is me, that's Bashu Naimi-Roy, and Bryce, that's Bryce Ehrecke. Both our names begin with B, as it is plain to see.

We are about to start a journey adventure to California in Leslie, Bryce's veggie oil powered van. It's really expensive cause it only takes extra virgin olive oil. Just kidding, you get the used deep fryer stuff from the black dumpsters behind the restaurant.

I'm sitting at home waiting for Bryce to arrive, pick me up, and we'll drive to Squamish. That's where our friends at Quest University are doing their stuff. Julian's there. He should be coming with us but he's studying. We too are studying to become better people. Julian is presumably learning how to fend off black bears or some other such practical thing.

I hope you enjoy reading this blog. I'll drop in posts when I get to a computer. We are going to visit a bunch of places where natural building, organic farming, and permaculture practice is going on.

I'm something of a reluctant man. There are many good things here. The knowledge that I'll be back is some comfort.

My hope is that when we come back, there will be cause for a new blog to be started, named, The B-Team makes their Own World.

And the best way to learn how to make your own world is to go see other people's worlds.

So. Follow along.

p.s. As a side note Commando Fridays will be in effect for the duration of this trip so if you wish to really get into the deep groove we're in, shuck thine underwear from Friday morning till Saturday morning and know that wherever we are (Mexican roadhouse Amazonian jungle hammock etc) we'll be doing the same.

p.p.s. bryce is the redhead on your right, I'm the one in the vest. Jen Erika and Zack make up the rest.
