Can we get Indy around the globe ?

Nevermind the beard business, Paley.;) What you need to do is re-upload all of your missing photos (from Anaheim's Disneyland, etc.). Before I managed to download them all, they mysteriously disappeared! They were fantastic and are an absolutely necessity for the doll's travel record!:gun: (Does anyone else have them?)

I have 'em archived digitally and can get em to you but it all depends on how reasonable we're all willing to be. All I want is the girl...

Just came back from my parents' home in WV and had a nice surprise waiting for me. Mini-Indy has arrived safe and sound in Nickelsville, VA!

Pale Horse: Sounds good. I'll send you a PM.

Drifter: Hooray! Have fun with it. (You've moved again?)

Lance: Did you find any more Walt Disney World images worth showing?

harvey: I think Inky would agree that you could start posting some of your photos now. The linear flow is kind of out the window so let's see what you've got!:D

Hey guys, awesome to see this is still going! Pardon my absence, I think I was on the list at one point to show Indy around Korea, but I got caught up in travel and grad school stuff and life...

Anyway, Indy's never looked better! (y)

Y'know, there's a surprising lack of melanin for a dude who dubbed himself "inky_skin".

Give me back my monkey you damn dirty apes!

Thumbs up to the musical links.(y) Love the photo with Indy releasing his soul to the tackily-glazed statue (& accompanying "Apes" quote). Is that from the Tonga Room?:confused: Thanks for posting more of your pictures. Very commendable & it breathes life back into this thread?keeping it alive. Speaking of which...

My fellow Montrealer, it's awesome to know that AlivePoet is still ALIVE!:) I was wondering what happened to you. Your name has never left the list in hopes that you'd resurface someday! For a truly GLOBAL trip, this project NEEDS you. Are you still willing & able to host Indy in Korea?

Too right. What's goin' on, Joe Harvey & Larry Drifter?:confused: Yes, we all have real lives but don't welch on your commitment. Inky's project has been going for 4.5 years now. Wouldn't you like to see it through until the end? Who wants to be responsible for letting it die?

KEEP IT ROLLIN'!:whip:

Nah, that's in Smuggler's Cove. (A place I still recommend you don't visit.) Assuming you find your way back here in the near future, a visit to Longitude is in order. It's not quite a tiki bar; it's... "Tropical Equatorial".

Joe and his Volcano ain't got nuttin on me!

:hat:

I've got a tonne of 'em. Unfortunately not all of them turned out well since it was an exercise in guerrilla photography; had I spent more time composing them, they might have turned out... well, better.

I guess I should have paid more to have those obstacles removed!

Should pretty boys and disco distract you...

I guess Harvey & The Drifter let all the pretty boys distract them.

Fantastic pictures. Indy is looking a little care-worn isn't he ? It's not the years, it's the mileage...

FYI my screen name references the ink on my skin, not the colour of it. Coupled with the beard, I'm full of contradictions aren't I ?

Just a quick update and a reminder to check out the latest IndyCast (#176):

http://theindycast.com/episode-176-and-the-mystery-of-the-blues/

Keith and I record our latest Further Adventures segment...and Mini Indy is along for the ride! (y)
I finally listened to the podcast. Hard to believe that it's from over a year ago (October 2013). Tempis fugit. When are you going to start showing your photos?:confused:

To be honest, it's looking pretty dicey that the figure will ever circumvent the globe at this point. I sincerely hope this project isn't DOOMED.

DRIFTER, where are you?:confused:

Yeah, seriously. Planned for next May. Though, there is an equally compelling opportunity in a different part of the world that I might take advantage of. I'll need Dr. Jones in hand by late-April, early-May if we want to attempt at expanding his range. Talk amongst yourselves. I wouldn't want to step on any toes.

Technically Mini Indy will never circumnavigate the globe. Friends in Asia seem rather hard to come by, and there's nobody in Central Asia to slingshot him across to Europe. He has, however, already crossed two of the world's five oceans and that's pretty good! Keep CRUSADING though!

Wonder what's up this hill?

Is anyone in touch with The Drifter?:confused:

Yesterday was exactly 8 months since he wrote about receiving the figure in his last post here at The Raven. That's a long gap for a regular and it raises a couple of major concerns.

Can anyone out there PLEASE contact Drifter and find out what's goin' on?:confused::eek::dead: (His 'real name' Facebook account seems to have vanished so I hope he is O.K.)

Here's an outtake from Mini-Indy's very 1st travelling photo session...exactly 5 years + 5 days ago!

♫ Where? Oh, where has The Drifter gone? Oh, where? Oh, where can he be? ♩♬

Looks like the Blue Ridge Mountains are more treacherous than Afghanistan!:eek:

Now it's been exactly 10 months since The Drifter said he'd received the doll. I had confidence in the guy but he has just simply gone A.W.O.L. and vanished. To go so long without any contact whatsoever is irritating, to say the least. What the heck is going on?:confused:

Has the missing Ravenhead...

1) forgotten about it?
2) lost the doll and is too embarrassed to tell us?
2) fulfilled his master plan of keeping the doll for himself?
3) no computer nor internet access?
4) fallen gravely ill or has passed away? (Let's hope not! *Knock on wood*)

Is there not 1 person out there who has The Drifter's personal e-mail address?:confused::confused::confused: I should've asked him for it 10 months ago!:mad:

Another outtake:

Stoo. PM me. And clean out your PM's so I can PM you back. You'd mentioned something about Pale Horses archived pictures. Since you're still involved with this, if we can't move forward, we can at least preserve the past.

Good stuff, Pale Horse. Your photos were fantastic and it'd be a shame to lose them (especially the "How-many-licks-does-it-take" Tootsie Pop owl). Please, re-upload with all haste.


**********************************************
UPDATE:
A very kind soul has finally shared The Drifter's e-mail address…and guess what? It's DEAD!:dead: Dead, as in: does not exist, cannot receive, etc. :mad:
Where in hell has our Appalachian hillbilly camarade disappeared to and how can we contact him? What to do about it? :confused:

One avenue to pursue:
Harvey/Joe Stuber (of IndyCast fame) is to be targeted next...because:

1) He *should* still have The Drifter's mailing address.
2) He hasn't posted any pictures yet! (It's only been 2 frickin' years!) :whip:

For those who still care…LET'S GET THIS SHOW BACK ON THE ROAD, boys!
