About this project

*CRUCIAL UPDATE* - we are now on a time crunch to secure the bus and we must do this in the next five days. although we have had "some" support for the trip we need to secure the bus and that needs to happen in the next five days. we think we can 'rally' the troops in the next five days to help us out. we promise, you'll get something awesome out of it - lot of experimental technology onboard for the 3 day trip into austin and remember we are streaming as much as everything as we can.

*** BUSINESS SPONSORS ***
http://www.roadcamp.org/sponsors - we are looking for just *four* $2,500 sponsors to make this a reality but we need to raise $8500 in the next five days to secure the transportation. the team/roadies behind this have already done a STACK of work to make this happen in terms of tech onboard but we need the crowd sourced communities help now to make this a reality.

RoadCamp is going to be a tour bus packed of musicians, vloggers, bloggers, and developers that's going to spend three days on the road travelling from Montreal to Austin to SXSW, the biggest music, film, and interactive festival we know of. Along the way, there will be Workshops and TweetUps and we'll try to solve many of the problems facing many media industries today.

*** the route ***

The bus will travel from Montreal > Boston > NYC > Washington DC > Louisville > Nashville > Memphis > Austin over a three day period:

Day 1: Montreal > Boston > NYC > DC
Day 2: DC > Louisville > Nashville
Day 3: Nashville > Memphis > Austin

Our contact details are below - we also have a media pack for sponsors but we are really pushed for time now for securing the bus so we really need help from the community to make this project a reality!
