At the time of your reading this, a lot of things have
already happened which have made this possible. An idea was formed, a team was
assembled, a brand was crafted, and a website was built (as well as a
corresponding page on every social media site imaginable). Nightly meetings
have been held, during which our goals, as well as our egos were laid on the
table. Jokingly, Mitchell “The Beast” Yee, told me last night that “Its not
about you anymore.” And who knows to whom he was paying his homage, but the
point actually resonated. What he actually meant was that its not just me that
will make this thing work, but all of us together, working on this thing. This
thing is Urban Backpacking, and we are about as serious as satellite radio when
we tell you we are going to do all we can to make this brand, and in general
this whole idea, live up to its true potential.
So tonight, as we launch our website, we ask that all of you
take time to ponder the hard work that has already, and will continue to, go
into making this vision a reality.
Turning this from a drunken idea I had one night on the way to 7-11,
into a potential game changing opportunity, as well as the experience of a
life. We already have fans all over the country, and if all goes according to
plan (foreseeing a few minor slip-ups along the way) then someday we will be
grabbing our backpacks, plotting a route, and taking to the streets in the greater
metropolitan areas of cities worldwide.
From all of us here at The
Urban Backpackers, we’d like to say thanks for reading, listening, and watching
us from the beginning. MUCH MORE TO COME!
