One week away

We have arrived at the one-week mark before departure on Brucefest '11, a gathering of eight courageous souls in an RV, traveling more than 1,000 miles one way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Denver, Colorado.

The goal is fun. And the goal is Bruce.

With a baseball game between the Rockies and Brewers on tap (note the clever reference to beer there), a whitewater rafting trip, sight-seeing and possibly some beer consumption, the trip promises to succeed where "Road Rules" failed. I don't know precisely where Road Rules failed, but it's no longer on MTV, so it must have failed. Not enough circles of death or bloody gauntlets at the end of each episode, apparently. But we'll have that.

The six-day whirlwind will feature highs and lows, exhaustive travel and dangerous terrain, one majestic RV, several members of one Colorado-based family and possibly a blood feud between warring baseball factions. The only question is, "Who will play each character when the made-for-TV movie comes together?"
