Buzzillions Blogs

Months of planning and talking big have paid off: the Buzzillions Burrito Bomber is ready to take San Francisco by storm in this weekend’s Red Bull Soapbox Derby.

“Big Taco” Mark and Terra the “Mean Sombrero” are our fearless driving/breaking team. They will be flanked by a crew of Yury the “Big Chill,” Angela “Boogie” Burrito, and a “Very Hungry” Eraj.

The bomber will be flying down the Dolores Street (starting line is at 21^st street and the route goes down along the park). I know this hill well from my morning runs – it’s a three block chore to run up it and I can only imagine what it’ll be like to roll down in a cardboard taco truck. In fact, I ran by early this morning and it was already a scene. I got to chat with a few other teams and check out the course. I’m telling you – this is not to be missed.

Check out the sketches of our craft and read about our team and stay tuned for photos and video of the race!

You know what they say about all work and no play. Here at Buzzillions we work hard but we also like to have fun. For Cinco de Mayo we had a piñata party where participants put a bag over their heads and were then spun around several times before being let loose to wreck havoc on a poor helpless donkey.

As if that wasn’t hard enough, we also rigged up a pulley system where someone could control the height of the donkey.

Take a guess at who’s who.
