So you wanna see the Rally Fighter @ sxsw

March 12th, 2010

I think I am becoming slightly American. Once upon a time I would have flinched at the word “awesome” or “awesomeness”. I have been called awesome myself – but that was many years ago when I gave a speech in a two piece vinyl crocodile suit and purple shirt at UCSB. Its true!!!!!! Just ask Julien. Have I become an extra in Teds Most Excellent Adventure?

Anyway, something else that is “awesome” is happening in Austin Texas on Sunday, The arrival of the Rally Fighter and the Local Motors Team. AWESOMELY AWESOME – in fact going a little further – I am STOKED. Why? Because I am fascinated by the model: to be precise, as Danny de Vito might say; the business model, the blended reality model, the engineered sustainability model, the crowd-funded model, the co-created model, the designed model, and the passion model. As all these make Local Motors in my book – worthy of close examination. (the back story)

I found LM in an email exchange with a guy in Santa Barbara – which is another whole other back story, reached out to LM and they reached right back.

Found them intriguing, and then compelling. So for me its a real treat to meet them IRL. so here’s the low down.
