2006 Awards: Best Map: Chasing Natalie

Sure, it started off as a mad dash to plot all the Toronto places and points Natalie Portman, Dustin Hoffman and other stars filming in TO this spring were spotted, but it ended up being something more--a unique travel guide to Toronto created by masses of Toronto tipsters, movie set extras, set mothers, and us. You aren't gonna find that at your local Borders Books now are you?

What did learn from this? So much, but the main point, er or the one thing Toronto folks would want us to pass on to you is this: There is more to TO than just Yorkville.

Thanks again to everyone in Toronto, who helped us keep track of sightings, filming locations, wanderings, and the best and worst of Toronto's hot spots. The folks in Toronto just got what we were trying to do straight away, which was very cool.

We couldn't have done it without you.

Hello, and thank you all for coming. It's been a crazy year, and we could not have made it this far if it were not for all of the Jaunted readers and Amazing Race fans who helped us along the way.

While we still feel that our 94-waypoint international mapping blows the winning Toronto map out of the water, we'd still like to acknowledge our competitor's achievement...the celebrity factor mixed in with a whole squad of local Canadians willing to pitch in must have made it so difficult to win this award. I mean, who likes celebrities...and Canada?

We, on the other hand, spent 13 bleary-eyed Sunday nights plotting impossible locations in Mongolia, Vietnam and Ukraine. We didn't have any help from Candians, and the celebretards we were tracking were pretty underwhelming. Still, even being nominated is an honor.

We were nominated...weren't we?

With love,

The AR-10 Jaunted Mapping Team

Your Are Too Funny... (none / 0)

Of course you were nominated.  I heard the awards was rigged because folks from the movie set actually contributed to the Natalie map, oh and the Canadian press thought we were somehow "endangering" Natalie.  Like we would ever put Padme in harms way.

However, you are an early can't miss 2007 candidate---All Star AR?  That has to produce some crazy mappin' fun.
