Thursday, Oct. 30 - "The Biggest Little City in the World."
We spent most of today prepping for the event tonight. Catching up on email, working with the web designer, etc.
At 6:30 we arrived to the Atlantis Hotel & Casino in Reno to set up for our event with SierraH2OHybrid. After getting lost in the miriad of slot machines, cigarette smoke and drunken zombies, we made it up to the 2nd floor Grand Ball Room --- a misnomer for a nice meeting room, replete with presentation tables, chairs and chilled water for the guests.
Sarah Grigg of Sierra H2O Hybrid was amazing. She and her husband, Kenny set up the whole event and with the help of our wonderful Dissemination Team, got many people to the venue. Sarah opened up with a warm introduction and Ozzie then came up to speak for few minutes about the direction of the Water-Fuel industry and our role in it. He then brought me (Ari) up to shoot my mouth off for half an hour about the Movement, the Master Affiliate Program, and of course the technical side of Water4Gas.
After the guests signed our pre-registration forms, we all headed back through the Chuck-e-Cheese-like casino to the front of the beautiful building where our hydrogen-hybrid chariots awaited a live demo. There were 4 vehicles in total, including our Jetta, Kenny's Dodge Ram Hemi, Josh's 1992 Camaro and Jerry Young's Kentworth big rig.
The crowds went nuts over these vehicles and having our cars on display directly in front of the hotel entrance was like stepping out of a limousine on Hollywood Blvd in front of the Mann's Chinese Theater at the premier of our new blockbuster movie! Bellboys, valet workers, casino guests and hotel managers all stopped to ask questions and get a glimpse of the magical hybrid vehicles under the flashing casino lights.
We especially liked Jerry Young's big rig. He installed a "6-pack" of electrolyzers to his Kentworth, saving him $300 per week in diesel fuel! He's been on a mission to help other truckers and get this technology out to the world.
All in all, it was a fantastic evening of enlightenment, laughs and new friendships formed.
Friday, Oct. 31 - "The Halloween Hydrogen Haunt"
Today was more of a transit day, as we spent all of it in the car driving from Reno to Phoenix, Arizona. Definitely not as pretty a drive as Oregon, but interesting enough. Of course we had our usual questions at the gas stations and eateries as we drove though Death Valley. It was interesting how many abandoned buildings and ghost-towns are still around on Highway 95.
It's like jumping back in time about 50 years!
As I type, we are about 100 miles away from Phoenix where we'll be meeting up with some long-term friends of Ozzie's and talking biz about the new expansion plans. Tomorrow we have a jam-packed day o' fun when we meet up with Art Mobley and his crew at the local Phoenix radio station to have lunch. I'll fill you in on the details later.
Signing off for tonight! - Ari

Notes from afar....update on the US Tour!
Hello everyone! It's Ari Cohen and Ozzie Freedom writing from "the road".
What an adventure we are on!
We left on Monday morning, slightly behind schedule and met up with "Walking Eagle" and many of his friends in Bakersfield at a local pizza place. After showing the new system to the crowd and talking to passersby, we had pizza and continued on our way to Fresno, CA.
In Fresno, we were welcomed by the crew of CBS, channel 47. Katie, the news reporter and her sidekick cameraman, Matt filmed me (Ari) showing the new system and the "old" 12-pack system in the trunk. It was a great interview and the team at CBS is excited to see others with this technology. They want to convert their whole fleet! We left with the camera filming our drive off into the sunset...
After what seemed like a full day of driving, we were exhausted. We found shelter in a small town in northern CA and rested for a few hours before making our way to Portland, Oregon. Portland, by the way, is my home town! We arrived in Oregon City, OR at 6:30pm Tuesday--just enough time to print off a copy of our e-books and some fliers.
After meeting up with Rich Preston, Rob Juliano and about 75 others, we had a great event at the local Milwaukee High School. The questions flew at me like a barrage of arrows, but I used my Water-Ninja skills to help everyone there gain a deeper understanding into our mission.At the end of that event, almost the entire crowd stayed until 11pm to ask more questions, see the now-famous Jetta with its dual-hydro systems and we had a blast. The locals will definitely be starting up as members and promoting this technology to the masses of the great northwest!
Wednesday: This was fun....after having lunch with my long-time-friend, Clint at a local Baja Fresh, we jumped in the Jetta and drove straight through to Reno, Nevada! Whew...what a beautiful drive. I only wish you guys could have been there. The air was so fresh and cool and the lakes, trees and mountains reminded me of my youth.After many hours of driving into the night, we arrived in Reno, NV, "The Biggest Little City in The World". Not....quite....beautiful Oregon, but busy nonetheless. We've basically spent the day working with our programmer on the new website, handling admin and setting up for tonight's event with SierraH20.
We'll write again tomorrow after the big even at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino (no gambling, please!).
Signing off for the day: Ari Cohen

Water4Gas Road Trip - US Tour!
Hey all you Water4Gas Crusaders!
BIG NEWS! Water4Gas is coming to you!
Meet Ozzie Freedom, Chief Experimenter and Founder and Ari Cohen, Technical Director and National Spokesman for Water4Gas, as they set out on a Cross Country Road Trip in their now-famous Water4Gas hybrid VW diesel Jetta, now outfitted with the sleek new design sure to turn heads and get people talking!
The objective?
To spread the word across the US and the globe that hydrogen-on-demand technology is out there and that it WORKS! This industry needs to show the world what HOD can do for the individual, the economy and the environment.
To do this, Water4Gas will be traveling from Los Angeles, CA to Bradenton, FL, visiting many Meccas (HOD demonstration events) along the way, gathering press and exposure for hydrogen-on-demand industry and the Water4Gas Movement.
We as an industry have got to join together now. We are a sleeping giant. There is power in numbers and the roar of the crowd can't be silenced. It is now time to wake up and make ourselves heard!
We will have live press at each stop along the way. The more people in attendance at these Meccas, the greater the impact. Supporting these events in your city will lend credibility to your business and help it to grow immensely.
On Nov. 11th at the HHO Games in Florida, we will launch a massive program for worldwide expansion by coordinating the efforts of the entire industry, thrusting this industry into the mainstream limelight, making it easy for you to talk to everyone about what hydrogen-on-demand can do!
