A discussion at work about Google’s rich history of clever April Fools’ pranks this earlier week resulted in the following announcement to be made on the Otesha Project’s front page that I am just so proud of, I had to share here:

Ride from Ottawa to Hollywood with the BLT!

Agent hasn’t called you in awhile? Want to show your fans you care about the issues? Need fans?

Take a bite out of the BLT! Today we are announcing an extra special tour to be added to our platter of 2010 cycling and performing tours geared specifically towards members of the entertainment industry and people who have nice calf muscles. The ‘B’ List Tour will take a group of musicians, actors and past reality television contestants on a glamorous journey from the capital of Canada to the capital of showbiz.

Be the celebrity you wish to see in the world. Apply today.

In case you don’t get it, running a tour that goes from Ottawa to Hollywood for a group of celebrities would be somewhat out of character for the Otesha Project.  What we do do is run tours that take regular young people across different parts of Canada.   Our tour members aren’t professional actors, but they do use theatre as a tool to mobilize Canadians to make global and local change through their individual and collective choices.  For more information on Otesha and our actual tours visit our bike tours page.

Kudos to our Lavi, our new Office Tech, who combined the below shot of a past Sunshine Coast Tour with a stock photo of the iconic Hollywood Sign to create the above photoshop masterpiece.
