How did you guys get the idea for TYAP?

Well, we wanted to see our country up close and personal, not looking down from an airplane.  At the same time we realized we should get to know our generation better.  Actually, we thought a lot of people wanted to get to know our generation better.  So eight months later we had an RV, a road atlas, and we were ready to go.

When did you know this project would actually happen?

When Nantucket Nectars pledged their support and gave us Juice Guy hats.

Can I suggest someone to be interviewed?

Yes!  Please do!  Check out our suggestion box (look up, way up, top of the page.) TYAP is constantly evolving and looking for compelling interview subjects.

How many times were you stopped by the police on your trip?

Good question. Apparently a 30-foot RV parked in front of government buildings or in commercial parking lots draws a lot of attention. We were stopped five times and interrogated twice. No tickets, just warnings.

Can I submit music to be displayed at your website?

Yes, of course you can. Just click on the music section on the top bar and follow the instructions.

What skills do you guys have that make you good generation profilers?

Oh, we have lots of skills.  Matt H. knows how to play the mandolin, Ben wants to learn the guitar, Adam played the drums from 5th to 8th grade, and Wigs better know how to play the keyboard or our band is in deep trouble.  We do know, in all seriousness, how to write and take pictures.  We have a video camera.  And we really want to get to know people.  So who’s to stop us?

What are your hopes and aspirations for this project?

Well, we hope you watch our documentary, and read our book, and then we hope you're inspired to answer the same questions we've been asking ourselves and the people we meet.

Did you ask everyone the same questions?

Sort of.  We have a few questions we asked everyone (some of these queries are listed under APPROACH), but different people require different lines of questioning.  For example, it’s perfectly acceptable to ask a farmer what kind of tractor he or she drives, but it would be inexplicably presumptuous to ask the same question of a Los Angeles veterinarian.

How do you choose the people you profile?

Some of them we find ahead of time, some of them have been suggested to us, and some of them we bump into outside a convenience store.  They're all are interesting in their own special way.

Did you come to my state?

 Yes, unless you live in Hawaii or Alaska. Check out our map.
