On Saturday, June 27th, I'm going on a storytelling adventure. What started out as my annual "where should I go this year to get away and write" travel planning exercise, has turned into a full blown on-the-go, transmedia story development trip. For the past few months I've been changing my hair cut and color until becoming the platinum pixie of my alter ego, Gloria Hankshaw and I'll be travelling as Gloria on this trip.

Gloria (formerly known as Samsa) Hankshaw has been hiding out in the Santa Cruz underground since her dot com went belly up in 2001, all the while continuing product development on her elixir code-named FuNshine. Gloria decided she needs to get back in the proverbial saddle, and is embarking on a road trip to reclaim her inner cowgirl and product test FuNshine. Designed to restore fun to the planet, this potion now comes in two form: a thick goo for use with bubble wands and a lighter aromatherapy spray. 

For eight days she'll be travelling across North-Central California, with bottles of her ylang ylang scented elixir on hand to distribute while parking herself on benches to conduct user-testing interviews. There are multiple channels to follow her adventures:
