Hasta La Creative!

Moxiesozo is a 15-person Boulder, Colo. shop that until today we didn’t know existed. We got an e-mail that founder and creative dude Leif Steiner is taking his design crew to an unknown location &#151 as in no one but he knows their destination. All anyone knows is that they need a passport and some preventative shots.

Steiner is “taking them on a 2 week trip. Where will they be going? No one knows. Armed with a packing list, Yellow Fever vaccinations, Malaria pills, and a few other items from sponsors like Sierra Designs, the designers will be boarding a plane to a third world country.”

To give you some background, Steiner has, “hitchhiked the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. He’s traveled with the Bedouin across the Sahara.” Dude knows what’s up, and he’s probably going to show those kiddies a good time (just not the kind that we focus on, which involves beaches and cocktails). Check out the e-mail he sent staffers to get them prepared for the adventure, after the jump.

We like Steiner’s idea &#151 take some designers drop ’em in some crazy territory with only you to count on &#151 and lead them back to safety. That’s what we’re talking about &#151 really building the team, like soldiers or sherpa or a bunch of noob travelers who thrive on adrenaline. Seriously though, doesn’t this sound like something Michael from “The Office” would do? We’ll see the first pics on Nov. 3, and you can be the judge.

On a billboard the size of Rhode Island, Applebees claims that “Your NYC experience starts” in their restaurant, which is located directly below the sign (on 42nd st. b/n 7th and 8th in Times Square). It also lets us know that there’s another location just up the street at 50th!

Please, do your worst.
