Lonely London Lad: Help the Lad Plan His Summer Vacation
What should I do for my summer vacation? I want to do something more challenging than the usual love-in. I want something that will test my resourcefulness and stamina, as well as call attention to our music (), as it is obviously not enough to simply make good music these days, one needs to do something crazy to get noticed.
I also selected relatively high-risk endeavours, so that in case I don't make it back, the value of the music should increase as well.
So... help me decide the best course of action, and I'll be sure to send you a postcard, at the very least. For one lucky person, I will give the chance of following whatever expedition is chosen, and documenting it on YouTube and Twitter.
Here are the choices:
| 1) Traverse the Sahara at its widest point by single camel without support. | ![]() |
Risks: heat stroke, exposure, starvation | 2) Attempt the first helicopter landing atop Mount Everest (difficult because helicopters cannot stay aloft in thin air) | ![]() |
Risks: crashing, exposure, hypothermia, frostbite, altitude sickness |
| 3) Kayak/nordic ski from Churchill, Canada up the Hudson Bay to the North Pole - and back. | ![]() |
Risks: consumption by polar bear or killer whale, exposure, frostbite, drowning |
| 4) Hang out with cannibal pygmies in New Guinea and try to convert them to veganism. | ![]() |
Risks: consumption by pygmie, tropical disease, snake bite, being converted to cannibalism |
| 5) Overwinter with the male Emperor penguins in Antarctica, huddling with them to stay warm. | ![]() |
Risks: expulsion by homophobic penguins, exposure, frostbite, boredom |
| 6) Following the Jonas Brothers' summer tour. | ![]() |
Risks: losing my edge, losing my mind |
| 7) Something else? | You tell me... | Risks: discovering something I wasn't clever enough to think of first |
Cheers!
