So I got a quick call today from
Vibram Five Fingers!! And if you haven't noticed... ;)
I plan to do the whole trip wearing them... I have called them several times regarding a possible sponsorship and a rep called me back today inquiring as to my project. She listened attentively as I (long winded as I am) tried to throw the whole project into a couple sentences. After maybe two minutes of this I got in a, oh and I'm a former division I athlete and plan on getting after it over there!! Right from there she decided to take my email address. So maybe D-I makes more sense, but whatever gibberish I mumbled throughout wasn't 'wrong', because she wanted to send me a prospective sponsorship form to fill out and send back.

So small phone call, that means nothing finitely, but big deal to me. What would only cost them maybe $60's from their merchandise pockets, would be hundreds for me to buy retail. Money of which I don't have and couldn't spend. This would mean using one pair for the whole trip, rain, mud, or shine - with no socks!! I definitely need two or three to alternate with. So we'll see. With any luck (which of course I don't believe in) they will be able to give me a few pairs of shoes and a couple T-shirts to flaunt over there. I can picture the photo already, me "chillin" with a school room full of kids having fun, giggling, staring at my shoes, and snapping poses off for the camera!! Nice!! ;)
