I’m sending blog love to all my blogbuddies – both old and new friends! You rock!

Spreading Blog Post Love

I’ve been tagged by Midas. This time a bit different meme – it let’s you promote 3 of your own posts.

This is a golden opportunity for the A-Team Cruisers to highlight your best Cyber Cruise Posts and for our other fellow cruisers to highlight their other favorite posts!

It’s important to get links within posts, because it’s an excellent way to get other bloggers to come to your blog and enjoy your blog posts. This is a way to perhaps meet some new blogging friends too

You’re supposed to choose 5 other bloggers to tag, but I just have to choose my most frequent cruisers since they have done such an excellent job this year at the Lifecruiser Ship!

I tag my A-Team Cruisers: A., aka’Raquel, Sanni, Debbie, Hootin’ Anni, Melli, Claudie, Mar, EvNucci, RennyBA, Gina, Heather, Maribeth, Chase, TorAa, Gattina and Caledonia.

…and every blogger that wants to do it

What to do:

1. Find three post of yours you’d like to promote.
2. Add your blog and those post with it’s specific links in the end of the list already here.
3. Tag at least five different people to spread the love.
4. Feel free to visit the links below.

These are the links. Let the Love Dove fly!

Let me know if you wanna do it and I can send you an email with an example of the code as it is in my blog post, just to make it easier for you

Hootin’ Anni’s Halloween Treat

Another spooktacular nice way of promoting other bloggers is the Halloween treat that Hootin’ Anni has been handling out every day -and so even to Lifecruiser!

“… a treat to 1-5 to bloggers who drop by during the week for visiting. You’re more than welcomed to pass it along to ones you think are deserving of a special treat for the season. Kinda like “Pay it Forward” Y’know, one goodwill gesture deserves another?

But DON’T just choose your friends making this cliquish and “just groupies”… Make NEW friends by choosing random visitors!!!
It seems that ‘awards’ are floating around blogland and just “blog friends” get chosen all the time. Make it RANDOM!!

If you do decide to share it with others then, USE THIS “TREAT” IMAGE and link it back to my blog and explain where the idea originated”.

So, I’ve decided to pass it out to the following bloggers:

• Jeni Hill Ertmer (New A-Swab Team member)
• International Mom (New A-Swab Team member)
• Scart (Will come to our Halloween Party)
• SandyCarlson (Will come to our Halloween Party)
• Isabella Mori (Participated in the Share Your Scare Event)

Warmth welcome my new friends, I hope you’re going to enjoy your time here on Lifecruiser

How do You Celebrate Halloween?

All bloggers are welcome to our Event tomorrow: “How Do You Celebrate Halloween?”

Tell us in a blog post at your blog (or dig up an old post) and leave a link in the comments, or just tell us in a comment.

See ya’ll tomorrow, Tuesday

I am sure you have already noticed that I have moved the Coming Cruise Events list from being fully displayed in the bottom of my posts to an own page recently. I still leave a link to it in the end of the posts though.

Make sure to check it regularly, because it can be sudden changes or new interesting cruise stops!

New A-Swab Team Member

Jeni at Down River Drivel, from central Pennsylvania.

“Graduate of Penn State so I am a Nittany Lioness I guess. Divorced, raised 3 kids to 3 pretty doggone great adults and now I have Alex, Maya and Kurtis to watch them grow and marvel at how such gorgeous little creatures have a link back to this old soul.”

As an introduction I recommend you to read her post: The View From My Window.

Hop over and make her feel warmth welcome aboard the Lifecruiser Ship

The Southern Cross Award

I have such sweet cruisers giving me awards – warming up Captains old heart – all the time! This time it is laketrees that is giving me the Southern Cross Award, so I’m continuing in her spirit and passing it on to all my cruisers on the deckroll for being such fun blogbuddies

Your Oddly Ghost Post

Do not miss that you are supposed to write your oddly ghost post tomorrow, Tuesday – participate you too! You choose yourself what to write about, no rules!

New Lifecruiser Pass Badges Page

I’m ready with all the Lifecruiser’s A-Team Pass Badges, for all my excellent A-Team Cruisers, except for one… And that’s for A. since she has no picture I can use, so she has to send me one she want to have on her badge.

Go here to grab them: Lifecruiser Pass Badges and wear them with pride!

I’ve tried to take it from your profile or about page, so it depends on what you’ve written there. Sometimes with a twist from me…

If you have opinions on your badge and want it changed, email me the changes and I’ll change it as soon as possible.

There is a special press badge in the end too…

New A-Swab Team Members

We have a couple of new cruisers that haven’t been properly introduced yet!

Vijay from Chennai, Tamilnadu, India

Cut from his blog:

“I’m a fun loving person. I like to ottufy my fellow friends although I tend to fall into a soup later on. “

Cut from his blog:

“I LIKE TO ENJOY EACH AND EVERY STAGE AND MOMENT IN MY LIFE ON THIS EARTH … AND MY AIM IS TO MAKE AT LEAST SOMEBODY AS HUMANS AND SO THIS BLOGGING IS ON PROGRESS.”.

I’m sure they will be a positive add to the cruise and I’m also very pleased that the cruise is spreading a bit all over the world and beoynd Europe and US!

Lifecruiser Blog Make Over

I’ve been talking about a new blog layout for this blog ever since I started in 2005. Even though I’ve done some changes of the background and blog header images, no real blog make over have been done.

I’ll now hire somebody else to do it for me, because I’ve realized that it will never happen if I proceed with the self deceit thought that I’ll make it myself. Besides that: I want a more professional approach.

I’ve kicked my butt now and at least started the process to hire a special blog designer in mind and I’m very excited about it!!!

More information will come later in this subject…

A-Team Cruisers Butt Kicking

At the moment we have kind of a slow pace here in the cyber cruise, so I’ll grab the opportunity to kick my A-Team Cruisers butt a bit…. *giggles*

Please dig deep in your sources, you must have a lot of experiences in your luggage than you can share with us…?

It doesn’t necessary have to be a whole trip you’ve made to another place – it can be a certain subject, culture discussion or what ever you want to show us or discuss with us.

Let me know what you have in mind and when and I’ll announce it in advance.

We’re ready for some more dirty cruise dancing

To write a cyber cruise post

- To write a cyber cruise is for A-Team Cruiser only. That means that I’ll announce the post in advance and that the other cruisers should be visiting you and comment your cruise post. Meaning more publicity for you

- The criteria for being a cyber cruise post is a bit vague, it could be: your hometown, a trip you’ve done – even the smallest one, some culture subject, a fantasy trip, anything interesting or a subject you are passionated about.

- When writing a cyber cruise post, make sure to add a technorati tag in the end of the cruise post, so it’s easy to find:

- I suggest that you even add a link to the Cruiser Grades page AND the Lifecruiser blogroll page, so it’s easy to find, which YOU will benefit from – the more that joyn’s us, the more exposure and commenters YOU get and the more FUN we’ll have!

http://lifecruiser.org/cruiser-grades/

http://lifecruiser.org/lifecruiser-blogroll-code/

All Lifecruisers: Be generous

Link to others cruise posts in the end of your ordinary none cruise posts – as some of you already has done as the excellent cruisers you are.

Spread the word about the other cruisers posts, it’s nothing wrong with leaving tips to other bloggers, is there?

All Lifecruisers: Mingle!

The idea of the cyber cruise is not only to share with other cruisers, butt also to mingle with all the other cruisers, so please do some mingle on deck here and in the cruise ports. Let’s have even more fun

Lifecruiser Tips

As you may have noticed, I sometimes add a row in the end of my post, butt still above the lifebouy, which says Lifecruiser Tips. That is because I want to encourage cruisers that aren’t A-Team Cruisers – yet – and has written posts that I find interesting.

It can even be links to A-Team Cruisers that haven’t announced the post as a cyber cruise port for some other reason.

Invite interesting blog buddies

If you have other blog buddies that you know writes posts that could fit the cyber cruise or has the potential of writing cruise posts – and love to have some fun – don’t hesitate to lead them here to check us out!

Or: tip me about them and I’ll contact them

New A-Team Cruiser

I’ve upgraded A. from A Changing Life‘s membership here to A-Team Cruiser. She has already shown a great potential, being with us a lot AND taking an own initiative to write her nice special “side-posts” to our cyber cruise posts!

She has already proven her capability, last time with her wonderful post about Amsterdam impressions.

Well done and welcome on the top deck, A.!!!

Whispering: There are a couple of other bloggers in my mind, that might climb up to top deck soon!

Downgraded A-Team Cruisers

We have a few A-Team Cruisers who hasn’t been active as a Lifecruiser for a very long time now.

They are downgraded to the A-Swab Team deckroll – not thrown out in the Sea directly

- Irish Church Lady
- Tricia’s Musings
- Frolicsome Kid

You’re ALWAYS warmth ♥ welcome back later as an A-Team Cruiser – we miss you

New A-Swab Team Members

We have a couple of new cruisers that haven’t been properly introduced yet:

Eastcoastlife were found by myself. I found her tracks all over the internet

Cut from her blog:

“Proud citizen of Singapore. Some people don’t deserve to live on this beautiful country. Somebody wants to hurt my 15 year-old son. I’ll do everything to save him. Hear my stories. I’m determined. I’m fearless. How much will it take to break me? I live on the east coast of Singapore……”

Cut from their blog:

“Vlado and Toni have been married for almost 5 years and lives in a nice,small town near Frankfurt in Germany. Vlado comes from Bulgaria and Toni is a filipina. They don’t have a baby yet, but they have a cat who thinks he is one. Vlado works and Toni shops Seriously, Toni works as a kindergarden teacher. Vlado on the other hand, hopes he can get a new J-O-B SOOOOOONNNNN before he loses his mind”.

Hop over and make them feel welcome at the ship

Lifecruisers sidebar cleaning

I don’t like when my sidebar get cluttered by all kind of different buttons and colors and sizes - if they don’t fill their purpose. So, the Bloggers Choice Award button and the Spicypage buttons had to go.

I think that both of those sites are kind of dead, so I cut them off as dead meat

I’m still nominated for both Best Travel Blog and Best Humor Blog, just not showing the button. The group I have in Spicypage were hardly not used by anyone. It’s still there, I’m just not using it anymore.

Bloggers Awards All Kinds

Thanks x millions for all the awards received just recently. I’m overwhelmed of how nice all blogbuddies are! Though I find it a bit tough to keep up with all these love-showing awards going on everywhere for the moment and have no place for them in my sidebar….

So this time I’ll not pass on those to anyone specific, butt to ALL OF YOU that reads this: you’re all worth it!!!

- The “I ♥ your blog”-award from Coffe2go
- You Make Me Smile Award Coffe2go
- Thoughtful Blogger Award from Life in the Fast Lane
- Blogging Star Award from Comedy Plus

New A-Team Cruiser

EvNucci: My life is murphy’s law

You’ve seen her around here for a while now – or should I see her freakin’ hilarious comments – even though she hasn’t been participating in the cruises that much yet, butt you should now that she is busy WRITING A BOOK!!!! Isn’t that freakin’ admirable cool?

Cut from her blog:

“I have 3 sons, 2 very bright and one born with congenital heart and lung disease. We fought doctors to keep my son alive because they wanted to pull him from life support & took him all over the world to keep him alive. We fought the educational system because they were convinced he was retarded. I had a choice. BE A WIMP OR BECOME ONE TOUGH COOKIE”.

Ev is the kind of tough cookie that has 178 irons in the fire at the same time, so I’m proud that she’ll take her time to cruise with us!

She is totally wacky without doubt – just like me – and I love the way she find humor in everything, so she’ll fit right in… *giggles*

She is heading for Maui the 24th of August, so naturally her first cyber cruise post will be of Maui! I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii – how about you?

New A-Swab Team member

Meet our newest A-Team Swab member KayKayZowie.

She lives in Arkansas, US and love to take photos so I’m sure she has much to offer us in the cruise.

Cut from her blog:

“I am 41-years old with three grown children, four grandsons and one granddaughter. In 2003, I graduated from Pulaski Technical College with an Associate of Applied Science in Paralegal Technology degree. In 2005, I began attending UALR for my Bachelor degree. I have been taking pictures (photography) since I was 9-years old”.

We’re very pleased to get to know you KayKayZowie! I’m sure you’re gonna fit right in too and have a fun time with us

Head over and let them feel welcome in this cheerful cruiser group folks!

The New A-Team Cruiser

I’ve taken in a new A-Team Cruiser! You know her already, she has been with us for a while now as one of the A-Swab Team: Caledonia at yours-truly.net!

From her profile:
“Caledonia is the old Roman name for Scotland and I chose it as a net name because I’m very proud of being Scottish and it is a very important part of my identity. My family have been in Scotland for generations and it was where I was born, so I have very strong roots here and I don’t think I will ever live anywhere else.

Please head over and congratulate her, so she feel that she is heartly welcome.

I’m really looking forward to see more from Scotland – besides my own experiences from there which I will report soon. She is doing her first A-Team cruiser port report from the Edinburgh Festival on Monday next week!

New A-Swab Team Cruisers

As you might have seen already in the comments, we have some new cruisers in the A-Swab Team now too, that I hope we’ll see a lot more of from now on

1) Chase at Queer Chef

Cut from his profile:
“I am not a chef but used to dream to be one. Now I am working as a webdesigner (mostly Flash designs and animations) and a film student in Bergen, Norway. A proud bitch equipped with a mangina”.

He has been with us for a while now. He is also the one that has designed RennyBA’s excellent blog layouts. I’m sure he has a lot to offer to the cyber cruise, he sure knows how to have fun!

2) A. (yes, a short bloggername!) at A Changing Life.

Her profile:
I travelled as a child, when my father worked in Africa. I travelled (trailed?) as a spouse, when my husband worked in Europe. I’ve travelled as a tourist when all else fails. Nowadays we spend most of our time either in France or in England.

So, that sounds like she has a lot to offer this travel loving bunch of cruisers huh?

3) Mark at The green fingered photographer.

Cut from his profile: “For as long as I can remember I have been interested in Nature and Wildlife”.

Actually he has been visiting here for a while, butt on the Photo Hunt and Green Thumb Sunday posts. He lives in UK and takes breathtaking photos. Need I say more…?

4) Sandee at Comedy Plus.

From her profile: “Let’s just have some fun!”.

She is fun too and will fit right in, in this cheerful blogger group! That could have been our motto as well

They’ve all left such nice comments here already!!! Sounds really interesting and promising, wouldn’t you say? They are good aspirants for becoming A-Team Cruisers!

Awards for Captain Lifecruiser

Sanni has been a real cool cruiser, guess what she did? She gave the Captain (me!) AWARDS!!!! Wow. I’m blushing and feeling really choosen and very touched by this super sweet A-Team Cruiser. Totally blown away.

Really, she is the most powerful thinking and creative blogger herself and she is mentioning me? Amazing. I have to think over that for a while. For once I really am wordless…*giggles*

Of course, she is going to get advantages of this… It always pays to bribe the Captain of the Ship! *giggles*

The Thinking Blogger Award (a while ago):

“Her blog is always full of high spirits and insightful”.

The Schmooze Award:

“As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection. Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello – all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship”.

…and Creative Blogger Award:

”For those who bring unique and creative elements to their blogs. For those who incorporate art, music, creative writing, photo’s, and other beautiful visual effects into their website. For those who put a unique spin on things and come up with new ideas. This award is for the artsy, the funky, the inventor, and even the rebel. This award is for those creative individuals who stand out from the crowd”.

Awards for all The A-Team Cruisers

You too have now received those fine awards from Captain Lifecruiser, for being such a cool cruisers on this ship. You’ve been really outstanding in making toasts & drinking my Dom Perignon, to find the fun in everything, being real berth buddies and always up to something! *giggles*

You have given me so many wonderful and interesting cruise ports to visit and so many giggles on the waves of this Sea. It truly has been an honor to sail with you so far! I love you all, you know that I’m sure!

Puss och kram (kisses and hugs), as Sanni always says to me in Swedish. Though I might add that from me, it might come more as(s) buttkisses…. *giggles*

New port for Lifecruiser Cyber Cruise

Don’t forget that we’re going to Monaco today, as soon as Claudie is ready to take us there. What about the dress code? What are you going to wear???

Any stunning dresses to show us ladies? Or maybe underwears…? *giggles*

Here is the old piece of rag I gonna wear:

Lifecruiser Cyber Cruise in Technorati

Cruisers, I’m doing some spring cleaning so we have some changes to the A-Team Cruisers List.

Promoted to A-Team Cruisers

Since they have been such a fun A-Swab Team Cruisers to have with us on the cruise so far, I’ve decided to promote them to A-Team Cruisers.

♥ Warmth welcome as A-Team Cruisers ♥

Claudie (She might change blog soon)
Sword Girl (Former Ocean Lady)

Hop over to them and congratulate

UPDATE: Claudie got her new blog up! Update your link to her: www.lazaza83.fr is her new address! We’re having a house warming party over there – so hurry over there and get some champagne while it’s still some left

Removed A-Team Cruisers

Since the rules is that the A-Team list should consist mostly of active A-Team Cruisers – if there is no special reason for accepting someone anyway – I had to move some of them to the ordinary A-Swab Team Deckroll instead.

If you’re one of those below: don’t despair – you’re always welcome back as A-Team Cruisers again

Moved non-active bloggers:

A penny for them…
A-Blog-4-Chilady
Happy And Blue 2
Lifelessions
Here, there and back

Moved non-active cyber cruisers:

BackpackerMom
Go forth & …
NDNL
Yellow Roses Garden

Remember, you’re only moved from A-Team Cruisers to the A-Swab Team, you’re still on Lifecruisers deckroll

Captain Clean Lifecruiser

NOTE: I might post one more post today, we’ll see if I got the time to do it – it’s Walpurgis Night (Spring Festival) over here in Sweden, so maybe I choose to celebrate that instead…

To see my newest bloglayout PUSH F5 button!

Next port: Antwerpen, Belgium, Wednesday (Gattina).

Do you want to hop aboard at next event?
Read about Cruiser Grades.

Read more about Lifecruiser cyber cruise.

Admission round #1 is now closed.

The A-Team Cruisers is guaranteed a “first class ticket” to our cyber event we’ve been planning this year – on top of anything else that will show up here…

Keep your eyes open for more announcements!

This is some of the questions that will be answered later:

- How many excursions you can expect this year
- What are some of the highlight destinations
- Will entertainment be provided
- If gambling is allowed
- What exactly is going on

No pressure though, this is all about HAVING FUN )

Who made it into the A-Team and why?

Gattina:
Our frequent visitor that even show us with brilliant stories and photos when she is travelling the world, has wild witty comments that always crack me up, lovely cats and paintings and at last the post: “Funny situation” among others.

Melli:
She need this ship to cruise the world. She also is very curious and ask a lot of questions which always is a good thing! She has a very witty humor and lovable personality with a lot of weird charm. Always willing to be the most embarassing moment at any given party… And we heavily need that, dont we? *lol* She has also already bribed us earlier with a bucket of DUCKS and you know I can’t say no to that!

Maribeth:
A faithful cruiser for some time that even have me on her bloglines as a “Must Read” every day! And the bribe, Mmmmmm. The full 5 course meal with wine, champagne and chocolates personally cooked by her sounds absolutely delicious – she sure know what this hungry monster likes Not to mention all her adorable puppies!!!

Rennyba:
For a Swede it’s always good to collaborate as well as compete with a Norwegian and vice verse. We’ve been on each others blogroll for long and he writes excellent posts about Norway. This application have an extra neighbour-star in the marginal of course

TorAa:
Just the fact that he’s too humble and needed to toss a coin 13 times to submit his application would almost be enough reason, but of course the mentioning of him bringing in one of his gross cases of vintage champage helped me in the decision too . Further bonus admission points he got because the did put up a link to the admission post! And that he has challenged me several Friday’s with bad jokes which I just love.

that frolicsome kid:
This is to mix in some youth among us. I hope he is contagious, because he writes excellent posts! He said it himself: “I’m a soul stripped off its body and flesh, and bones…” I say: … and who can resist a stripper? Besides that, we need some one to be our DJ, that choose more young, cool music, don’t we? *lol*

Gina:
She is SO good at bribes! She offered her twin sons (almost 14 years old), that eat like horses; are lazy as shite and deserved to be ragged out on her blog at least once a month… And she is a wife to a Swede. That facts will be hard for any one to beat…. *lol*

mar:
She is not only an old (but young-looking!) regular cruiser, but as she speak fluent Spanish it gives a huge bonus admission point besides the fact that you’re such a lovely person:-) And come on, her name? We just love the mar! Not to mention: Barsssscelona!

marina:
Even though she struggle with a bad internet connection (some of the non perks of living in a third world, under developed nation such as costa rica. She offer stupid stories from costa rica, and other foolish ways. We love stupid stories, don’t we?

Sanni:
She know the Swedish word for asshole, which can come in very handy, don’t you think? The fact that she also bribed me with re-imported djungelvrÃ¥l (very salty Swedish licorice) and a huge bottle of Champagne don’t have anything at all to do with it

Hootin’ Anni:
She is good at plumbing and already fixed our broken potty in the captain’s quarters. Then, with the pooper scooper, she can serve up the most [notice, she didn’t say “moist”] delectable brownies you’ve ever tasted!! She’d be good to take along as the galley chief….errrrr, um chef!!! OR as she herself put it: “I’m the top of the A-Team already —Admirable Admiral Anni!!!!”
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL Aboard!!! The Life Cruise[r] begins when Admiral Anni steps on deck. At least she think so…

YellowRose:
This is for special reason, not only because she is an old blogger friend. We’ll take her along as encourangement and a recovery cruise because she has been so ill lately. She need to get back in shape again. We’ll give her an order to get well.

aka R’acquel:
Oh the humanity! She has bribed me with a copy of the Newtown Mums Book of Poo – with some incredible shitting & farting stories revolving around toilets – no bullshit! She also once made some buns from our Lussebullar recipe! Say no more!

A-Team Cruisers: You’ll be getting more information later. If you have any questions you’re welcome to email the captain of the cruise: lifecruiserteam at gmail dot com.

Don’t miss to mingle with the other A-Team Cruisers too

To the rest of you that didn’t make it this time:

- DON’T GIVE UP!

I encourage you to:

1) Link to us in your personal blogroll, not only by meme blogrolls.

2) Tell us about it and we’ll put you under The A-Swab Team in our sidebar which is step 1 in becoming an A-Team Cruiser.

3) Work your way up until next admission round by visit and commenting our posts often, write posts about us – or offer us some very heavy bribes we can’t resist

There will still be some first class tickets and many ordinary tickets for our cyber event later on, but it demands that you’re on our A-Swab Team at least.

As much as I would have loved to take the whole blogosphere with us, that just isn’t possible since we would sink this ship.

The heavy Cruise Ball we’ll have might sink it anyway

1. This is a Cruise announcement:
Today the admission round #1 to become an A-Team Cruiser start!

2. When it ends depend on how many applications we get. There will be an announcement at Monday with the first acknowledged new A-Team Cruisers.

3. Why apply to become an A-Team Cruiser?
- You’ll be guaranteed a “first class ticket” for the special cyber event we plan for sometime in 2007. We’re not really sure of when we’ll have time to make it happen, so we can’t book the date yet. But we’ll for sure have FUN!

4. You’ll be linked to in the front link list in our sidebar as A-Team Cruiser as well as in the ordinary blogroll A-Swab Team.

5. You’ll get some kind of mentioning of your blog in at least one of my posts, plus be guaranteed regular visits and crazy comments from me.

6. here will defenitely be a Cruise Ball Party. You might get other surprises from me too – you’ll never know… *lol*

7. Admission requirements:
You must be a regular cruiser here and start in the A-Swab Team ( se the right sidebar), which also means linking back here with an direct link (no meme). So let me know if you’re linking to us, but not see your link in either A-Team Cruiser or the A-Swab Team.

8. You must have been cruising with us for a while – or may have other qualities or skills we need urgently. You may suggest those qualities or skills yourself to us – use your fantasy!

9. You must be able to keep up the regular visits here for a long period at least and not only for meme posts like Wordless Wednesday, Thursday Thirteen or Photo Hunt.

10. Bonus admission points can be achieved by bribing the captain (me) in several ways: offering champagne, party’s, dedicate posts to Lifecruiser, writing about this admission round, writing other excellent posts with embarrassing photos, write comments on our posts that are crazy, fun, interesting or…..?

11. Send your application by email to lifecruiserteam at gmail dot com or answer directly in this post, whatever you feel is right for you.

12. Minimum details in your application is: Blog address, blog title, name or nicname of you, special skils or bribes you offer us or other fun or embarrasing things in your blog. Use your fantasy to make us believe that you would be fun or useful to have with us on this event

13. There will be held admissions rounds several times a year, but even elimination rounds to keep the A-Team Cruisers up to date. You will be excluded if failure to live up to the requirements, but is always welcome back again through another admission round.

♥ LIVE, ENJOY… LOVE… TO BE AN A-TEAM CRUISER!
