Hey guys!

Since 'Ellielou', 'Littlesam1' and I started the 'virtual attendee' program for VTers in 2006, it's become quite a hit at VT meetings! So, do YOU wanna virtually attend the upcoming Caucasian challenge??

To ride along with us, just 'Photoshop' a photo of yourself, and include these three phrases somewhere on the image:

'Virtual Tourist'
'Caucasian Challenge'
your screen name

anything else is up to you. We'll try try try to print your photo and bring it with us.

Need ideas? go to 'www.baltoberfest.com' and see what nearly 50 other VTers created two years ago. You gotta see some of them.... YOU can be funny and creative too!

As I learned two years ago, many of you won't add the text to the photo. This time I won't add it for you, I simply don't have enough time. sorry ahead of time.

The deadline is Sunday, August 24th. Send images to me: frankcanfly@yahoo.com

Thanks! Let the photoshopping begin!

I'm IN! Wait - you knew that ;-))

Me too. can we do a combined one, save paper LOL.

Yep Frank....I'll be there as well :o)
.....Seems like you have a downunder theme happening here ;o)

I can be printed on the backside of the above mentioned saved paper

Am just organizing virtual attendees for the Jerusalem & Dead Sea meet (WM08) + Petra extension next month.

Didn't think of Photoshopping anything on to them. Thanks.
Will see if it works for me. If yes, then I'll also send one along to you.

Thanks!

Great idea Frank. I'll send my photo too.

I'm in because I really wanted to see all those places you get to go to...
Will send you a PS image later. Please make I will have fun (and won't end up in any accidents on the road ;)

Sabs

Bookmark from this vt'er who whished she could be an real attendee! Soooo bad it takes place when I HAVE TO be at home.
During one week in Istanbul now I have improwed my turkish alot (still not that good). I would have been the perfect help with speaking with villagers in Turkey and also litle in Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Will mail you Frank when I get home to Norway. I def want to be a virtual attandee!!!!

I've just woken up to find the first VA in my inbox: Daarth!!

btw, my virtual self can take rough handling. No need for a padded envelope during the trip!

Just sent mine through to you Frank :o) I hope I don't lead you fellas astray too much haha.

Hey, Frank, can non-Caucasians join in? ar ar ar

LOL Rixie, I never thought to ask that. I mean... ain't it an honour to have us on the list of VA's ? LOL!

Will you also take a virtual mascot?

My mommy is the best mommy a wombat could have but she's not the adventurous type. So I'd love a little virtual outback experience.

Sure, Caucasian Wombats are allowed! hhahahhaha!

I'm an Australian born in China. Does that count?

If there is party planned count me in.... as usual. :-)

Mais certainement, ATLC. La sangue bleue, apres tout...

Me too, me too! I'll send a virtual bottle of Ouzo, just in case you run out of petrol!:):)hehe

I'm in!

Thank god I haven't missed the deadline, but I don't have Photoshop :((( and I don't want to just send a regular photo... hmmm, I do live in Caucasus however. Been to Turkey and Georgia, never to Armenia though! Wish the Caucasian Challenge would go through Azerbaijan as well, I mean wish you guys would end up in Baku instead of Yerevan...

Hi Minai,
You can add the words using MS Paint. If you have Microsoft, go :
Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint.
There you can add text to your photo :-)
Have a go, Pam :-)

Thanks kiwi for the tip on paint...how do I get my photo into the paint program?

Hi Frank... my photo is on its way to you!

>Thanks kiwi for the tip on paint...how do I get my photo into the paint program?

Hi Janet, once you have Paint open, click File > Open and find your photo.
I'll send you my effort and show you what I did quite easily in Paint.
It's fun once you get the hang of it :-)

My morning laugh: I sent my photo to Frank yesterday and he replied back. "Could you add 'Caucasian Challenge' to the image?"

That must've been a Freudian slip...
Caucasian challenged, more likely!

Yeah Frank, I'll resend...

Thanks for fixing it! I know I could do it, but my time is a bit crunched now.... You're a CCVA now!! hahaha

It was a piece of cake :-)
A matter of wearing my VT tshirt back-to-front, LOL!

I'll put it up as PPP during the race, for support. Remind me!

Caucasian Challenged -- I like it. :)
