Amy, did you get the latest mass email from Misha? Don't drop from your team. Two teams will get to go to Rome.
I like the idea of the sheriff taking Bobby in and him "retiring".

And that might disqualify your whole team?
I mean, do what you need to do, obviously. IJS.
Here's the Misha message:
Hey guys,
The good new is we got everyone sorted into teams at around 1 AM, my time. The not-so good news is when we sent out the 6000 team-assigning emails, the servers crashed. We are simply too big for the Internet thingy.
The reason you're receiving this email is that Constant Contact apparently sends emails through massive bandwidth channels whereas I have created pneumatic tubes.
We are now resending the messages very carefully, treating each message as if it were a tiny, wounded, fledgling bird. Before sending each batch, we are whispering words of encouragement to the messages and saying silent prayers. Hopefully this gentle, coaxing approach will help them reach you. As a backup, I have also been on the phone with a carrier pigeon supplier this morning.
You will get your team assignment. The items list will be posted. As malicious as i can be, i have not been changing the start time just to wear you down, though i wouldn't put that past me.
By way of consolation, we have added another trip to Rome. The winning team will be taken to Rome and, if your team submits at least 5 items, your name will be put in a lottery to join the winning team.
Also, we will be extending the deadline for the Hunt because of the delay in starting.
Remain vigilant! We will prevail!
Your not-so-humble servant,
Misha
I got Plei and a bunch of strangers. I sent out an introductory message...will see how things go from here.
I got Erin and Perkins and a bunch of strangers, and I'm trying to muster the mental fortitude to send out an intro email.
If you haven't received your email go here:
Enter the email you registered with and it will bring up your team.
Actually, there were two people from my entry who didn't get on my team. Kind of sad.
Another team member beat me to the email (thank heavens). It sounds like she and her sister are both on the team. Also, nothing in the email set off any RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY NOW alarm bells.
I'm itching to be Miss Organize It All but I started off with Hi, I'm from Colorado...how about you.
Kamloops. Love that name.
My mother was born in Kamloops. Her childhood BFF lives there. Ask them how they feel about Falkland. (Which is where she was raised.)
Woo, Anne and Perkins! The two sisters seem nice, so far.
I am FULLY PREPPED to be take-charge girl!
DAMN THIS FUN PARTY WITH MY MEATSPACE FRIENDS TONIGHT! Hee.
I will just keep my iTouch in my bra...
My Vancouver friends have nothing nice to say about Kamloops. But I hope that doesn't extend to the people. They kind of have suburb issues.
