Nice bus. I'm glad you guys got something, and the blog looks like it's really going to be interesting.

I only have one criticism: James, please, please work on your editing. You're doing well with the capitalization and spelling, but there are some parts that I found difficult to read due to less than stellar grammar. It's not a huge deal and I realize you're busy, but what can I say.

Also, spelling. So many errors - so many! It drives this one to madness! And speaking in the third person.

I completely agree with you guys. I wrote that blurb really, REALLY late a couple nights ago. My ability to put together sentences started to dry up around 3am.

The pink and yellow stands in jarring contrast with the blue of the rest of the site.

Is the blog just for the trip or will it continue?

It's meant to be eye-catching.

The blog will be around after the trip, but not as regularly updated, I imagine. Also, that banner will go away.

If you can't stand bad grammar that much, then don't read it?

It's not like he gets paid to do it.

The latest entry is much better.

Is the cupholder really set directly on the floor? That floor looks... well, like a bus floor. I wouldn't want to set my drink anywhere near it.

The point is that people want to read the blog, and it's not too much to ask that said blog be comprehensible.

*takes the cigarette butt out of his mouth*

Emma got after me for my spelling and capitalization the first time I went into the IRC channel. I'm dyslexic, so I'm going to miss a bit, but I try to do things all proper when posting. When I am in an IM is a different story though.

No way! You guys saw Joss Whedon... *full of envy* was he as cool as he seems?
