Great panel idea... the Wii might be fun but nothing beats getting outside and getting active.

Speaking as someone who's seen Wes motivate an increasing number of the people in the Toronto web scene to get up from their desk chairs and head out in search of singletrack trails and country roads, I can tell you that this panel is sure to be a hit and has the potential to change people's entire lifestyles (really). Great panel idea!
Do it today!
