Chicago Tribune Interview

Michelle Stoffel, a reporter and editor Chicago Tribune's TribLocal, came out the the BK shop last Wednesday for an interview. She had caught a couch update on Twitter and followed the story all the way back to the couch site. Obviously, I was more than excited to have her come out for the story.

She asked the whole back story of the couch and it was great for me to have to think back that far. The couch has been to some fun events and the stories that come with it are halarious. I was happy to run the history and the timeline again and really get a feel for how far the couch has come. The whole idea of the couch was to just see what happens and let the path unravel as we go...and it has gotten us this far. Who knows whats next!

I will keep everyone posted on when the article is released, and I will post it on the site.
And as always, please share this on your Facebook and Twitter... Word of mouth has been huge so I thank you for all the help!

Matco Truck

I have been working on getting the couch onto the Matco truck for about 6 months now. "Matco Tom" was a little leery at first after seeing what happen during our visit to camp bow wow. He also said that it would not fit, and the truck was never clean enough for a photo. I honestly gave up on it. I never thought that it was going to happen.

Well all the stars aligned last friday. The couch entered the Matco truck. It was a very tight squeeze, but history was made. Anyone can take a picture of a couch NEXT to a Matco truck, but we have to go bigger than that!

This HAS to be the first time any couch has been INSIDE any Matco truck and it happened right here on DougsCouch.com!

Don't go away just yet.... here is the video from the event.
Don't forget to share!

Worldwind Motorsports

The first stop of the 2010 season was at Worldwind Motorsports in Antioch. We stopped in to see owner Mike (center) and mechanic Rich yesterday. The couch has been in the truck for the last week and has been snowed on and thawed so it was a little moist. I dont think Mike and Rich cared much, they were pretty stoked it was there. While I was there, I should have had Mike get under the seat of the couch and give her the once over....make sure she is all up to par for the new season. I think it will be ok..lol

Worldwind is a full service powersport shop that repairs everything from snowmobiles to watercraft. If it's broke, the guys at Worldwind can fix it.

2010 Couch Season Has Begun

The couch has had it's time off and now it is time to get this thing back out on the streets. There are a lot of events going on this season and I am super excited to see where the couch goes.

I need YOUR help! If you have a cool event, or if you can get the couch into an odd location, please email me at Dougscouch@gmail.com.

Here comes 2010!
