Feel Like Walking 40 Miles to Staten Island?

Yeah, me neither. But live and let live I say.

I received an email this morn from Matt at Flash Walk. This dude has organized a group of people to walk from Brooklyn to Staten Island...you know, just for fun! And while this whole thing sounds totally fucking crazy to me, you guys might dig it:

The essentials are this: As the inaugural of an organization that will sponsor exploration-oriented walks, with no guides and no agenda, at locations in the city selected by chance, I'm getting a group of people together to walk from Brooklyn to Staten Island. This is no small feat, as the only way to get there on foot is a 40-mile, two-state walk via Manhattan, to the George Washington Bridge, through 20 miles of Jersey, to the Bayonne bridge. To up the ante, it will be a five-borough walk. And it'll be taking place on the longest day of the year, just so we can get the most out of it. It's totally not-for-profit, free, and aimed at simply getting people to slow down their lives for one day and take a serious look at their cit(ies) -- and as a side effect raising awareness of flashwalk as organizer of such strangeness.

There are way more deets on his site Flashwalk.org.

Wow. This certainly brings new meaning to the phrase "Brooklyn we go hard," hunh?
