Join The Buried Life

The Buried Life – Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie – are on a mission to complete a list of 100 Things to Do Before We Die and to motivate others to do the same. Relying on goodwill, guts and sheer determination, they are traveling the globe and asking everyone they meet: “What do you want to do before you die?” They invite people from all over the world to make a list and enter it on their popular blog site www.the buriedlife.com. As they strive to achieve their own goals, they enthusiastically help strangers they meet along the way complete something on their lists – payback for the goodwill they receive. Watch The Buried Life in action:

They are coming to Fort Collins on April 24-26, helping some lucky folks check off items on their wish lists, and will cross #49 “take a stranger out for dinner” off their own list. If you want to be invited to dinner on Thursday, April 24th, or have The Buried Life team help you with something on your list, here’s how you can get involved:

To have your wish considered:

• add yours to The Buried Life website today, click on the NETWORK button to post your list. Let the guys know you’ll be in Fort Collins so they know to look for you! (www.theburiedlife.com)
• send a short video clip or photo from your cell phone that says or illustrates one item from your list that you particularly wish to complete. Be creative, be artistic, be outrageous (but tasteful!), and definitely be included! The Buried Life team will review everyone’s list and will help a few lucky people realize their dreams. The entries will be included in a Colorado Reel video: What Coloradoans want to do before we die! which will be unveiled at 4pm on Saturday, April 26th at the Northside Aztlan Community Center. Everyone is invited to gather between 3:30-4pm for a group photo and the grand premier of the Colorado Reel (free). Stick around until 5pm because someone will be surprised when the guys help them achieve their wish – and that could be YOU! Send yours to info@beetstreet.org to be part of the Colorado Reel unveiled on April 26.

To help The Buried Life accomplish wish #49 on their list (have dinner with a stranger):

• please send an email telling them why you’d like to join them for dinner at info@beetstreet.org

If you are selected, you will be treated to dinner downtown with the guys. We’re sure that by the time dessert is served, you’ll be stranger no longer! Four lucky people will be selected to join them for dinner on April 24th.
