Road Trip is an experience that allows you to live the life of a band member or part of the entourage of a rock band. It’s 2,448 miles of freedom, and combines
the dream of being Kerouac on the road with the trip of a lifetime. 25 people will shed their daily identities and take on the personas of the band, the roadies and the assorted hangarounds of a rock band.
This experience will have reality as its setting, with roleplaying during the journey being a central part of the experience. Our pretend band and crew will not only travel across America, but will play shows for live audiences along Route 66. And YOU will be part of that.
So get ready to join a convoy of tour buses and autocampers on a ten-day, 2,448 miles journey from Chicago to Santa Monica. You don’t need to be a musician to participate.
