Your chance to honor Jack Kerouac

We've talked about the On The Road 4 Kerouac Project in the past here on The Daily Beat, and now they have produced this awesome trailer (click here). In effect, using entries from folks like you, the Project's creators are trying to "reinvent the scroll" to celebrate Jack Kerouac and the Beat spirit. Their goal is to have a scroll as long as Jack's by September 2012. And it's going to be put on display in The Beat Museum in San Francisco!

Below are directions on how to contribute (taken directly from http://www.ontheroad4kerouac.org/). Please join me in helping out with this fantastic project!

Send us your written tribute, photos or drawings

and reinvent the scroll !

To help you find some inspiration, you can take a look at the following tips :

- How has Kerouac affected/inspired you ?

- What does 'the road' symbolise to you?

- What is your most treasured memory on the road?

- How did you feel after reading of On The Road, or other novel of Jack Kerouac ?

Don't forget to sign , then add your name, age, country and city.

Reviews of The Beat Handbook

Gerald Nicosia, author of the acclaimed Kerouac biography Memory Babe, said The Beat Handbook is "full of Jack's heart."

Jared Randall, author of the excellent book of poetry, Apocryphal Road Code, said this about The Beat Handbook: "Sometimes a book comes along at just the right time. In my wandering pack of experiences, I find they often do. Enter The Beat Handbook by Rick Dale."

Kenneth Morris, Kerouacian extraordinaire, said this:
"I just finished reading Rick Dale's beautiful utterance and call to action of Kerouac mind-set and zen sensibilities. It made me laugh and reflect on my own life and road I have naturally grooved into after absorbing the Kerouac canon. The road less traveled always had my name on it. And that has made all the difference. The Beat Handbook 100 Days of Kerouactions reaffirms the attitudes and ideology that made the Beats and Kerouac the important men of ideas that America (and the world) thirsted for, needed, and swallowed whole. Beautiful, absorbing, Top Ten whipsmart from my articulate, tender-hearted friend and fellow traveler. Highly recommended."
