We're thinking about jumping back into Penelope this summer and hitting the road for another ripper. The thing is, we can only plan half the tour; the other half comes from you and since you guys are the core of Buried Life, we want to give you first crack!
Email us at crew@theburiedlife.com or post here and tell us your list item(s) and why they’re important to you - maybe we can help. Heck, even if you know someone who has something they’ve always wanted to do, tell us about them. Penelope's gotta lot of room so we can pick up a whole bunch of you.
Thanks for posting your lists in the Buried Life Community and for being so effing sweet.

Hey guys. I just saw you at Highland Secondary and I gotta say... You're all pretty amazing doods. I was planning on skipping your presentation to begin with but I am glad I didn't. Gotta hand to it to yeah, I'm not one that is easily inspired and you definitely got me!
I've been a closet musician for about two and a half years now. I've never really had the "balls" to stand up for what I want, and it has held be back from living my life. Most of my time is spent right here, on the computer playing guitar. I play till it hurts so that one day I may reach my #1 goal. To achieve my number one goal of playing in a successful metal band, I need experience. Living in a small town on a rock, it's extremely hard to meet people of my age that have the determination to reach that goal. And even worse, this town isn't big on loud music to begin with.
I don't know how, but if you guys could some how help me with my goal, I'd be in your debt for the rest of my life.

Hey guys,
I’ve been a Buried Life member for a while now and I am so excited for the 09 tour. Most of the things on my list are pretty far-fetched but I think that’s the point of it all, to do things you never thought you could. Anything you can do to help me out would be insanely appreciated and I would owe you big time.
Thanks,
Andrianna Yeatts

Are you guys coming through Arizona? I'd love to meet you guys! You guys made me realize if you have goals and you aspire to achieve them, you can do it. So, thanks guys!
So i got to meet you guys at CLAY 2009!!! :D :D :D
and i really loved your presentation and i really want to try it out for myself!
So at our group meeting with you guys, i said that i wanted to play on a world stage with my band!!!
and you guys said you would try and help me and my band members out! :D
so i thought id give you our myspace!
if you guys could help us out it would be muchh appreciated!!
ill definately keep intouch as much as possible ! :D
you guys really inspired me and now i want to inspire the world!
I really hope you end up doing an '09 tour, that would be wicked! Oh! Maybe you guys could come to Toronto in time for the CLAY '09 reunion at Wonderland! =D
So I saw a post about a huge water fight in T.O., I think that would be so awesome.
But the #1 thing I want to do is to live in the wilderness, non dependent of civilization. Though I figure I should wait until I'm a bit older and learn a bit more before I attempt that, so what I really would love to do right now is to just break out into song and dance, just like in a musical. I love musicals and I think it would be so cool to live life just randomly singing and dancing.
Have you seen the Improveverywhere mission where they start a musical number in a food court? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M
I would LOVE to do something like that. If we could stage a musical number somewhere, that would be amazing.
Other than that, some of the other things on my list are:
- go free-running and learn the different flips and tricks that go along with it.
- Wash some windows on a skyscraper (It'd be awesome to stand on those window washing lifts)
- Go parasailing
Thank you guys so much for starting this and being an inspiration to so many people. I really hope Penelope comes to the Toronto area this summer!
Hey guys! I wish all of us CLAY-ers got to spend more time with you, but you guys had to jet quite early.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE try your best to head over to the Toronto area.
I've never been so inspired before in my life, and I look at all these people and see that they're all so young. Great job guys, you've broken through the teen angst barrier!
I really wanna help you guys accomplish #80: Meet the dudes of The Lonely Island, so I sent them an e-mail that included begging and threats to punch somebody in the jeans, but they haven't gotten back to me yet so...I don't know how that's going to end up.
Anyway, here's a bunch 'o stuff from my list that I wanna do:
- Play an egg toss game with a final distance of at least 20 feet between the people.
- Compete in a competitive paper boat race.
- Sit with a stranger(s) and just talk about anything and everything (I would love to do this with you guys because technically, I don't really know you)
- Go paintballing for the first time.
-Hand out smiley-face cookies downtown.
- Own a bonsai tree (I think it'd help me more than you think).
