What is TeamJaded?

Make It Happen:
TeamJaded is a vlog-blog dedicated to DIY culture, information and innovation. We’re talking about creative people making things happen independently and outside of the mainstream. Currently, we, Abby Berendt and Jeremey Lavoi, are traveling across the nation to find these people and share their stories.

We update our blog from the road as often as possible, and give behind the scenes looks into our shoots with videos posted every week or so.

Story Shoots in Progress:
Sisterz of the Underground
Lowcard
Austin Craft Mafia
Chuck Perkins
Okay Mountain
Poor Pony
Lost Film Fest
Bling Kong
ABC NoRio

The Big Idea:
TeamJaded’s final goal for “Make It Happen” is to create a full-length documentary about D.I.Y. across the nation. At the end of the year we will wrap up this trip and edit together the stories (as individual 5-10 min spots, and one 30 min teaser). With that done, we hope to get people psyched on our project by showing the teasers and hosting fund raising events; hopefully raising additional funding to support a second round of shoots to complete the documentary.

TeamVegas (MIH7)

Since leaving Monterey (or more accurately ghetto, Seaside), we have driven 540 miles. With a quick stop for gas in what Jeremey dubbed “Extortionville” (aka Coalinga: “We charge $3.45 for gas because we can”), a pit stop for roadside nectarines, a traffic jam in Bakersfield, and dinner at a Mexican-Taxidermy-Restaurant in Barstow… we made it to Las Vegas. Surrounded by Pawn Shops and Wedding Chapels, we are far from the luxurious Strip. Nevertheless, this end of town has it’s own style, however grimy and worn down it may be.

Today we went for a nice jog in Freedom Park... and now it’s work time. We're putting together a short vlog for ya. Tonight, Jeremey will get to experience Vegas for his first time. Lake Charles might have some nice casinos, but I’m pretty sure they don’t have Royal White Tigers that prance around with two dudes in spandex.

Also, be sure to click on the new buttons at the top. You can now check out our map, as well as our loose schedule. We will be updating the map with the google "blueline" so you can see where we've actually traveled. Let us know what you think!
