Team Bio : Why The Civilettes?

"Civility is not a sign of weakness." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy

This quote isn't just the mantra of our sponsor, Greer Chicago (proprietor of pretty paper products), but it also resonates with teammates and friends of over ten years, Ashley and Jeanelle. These two South Side Sox fans are ready to have fun with the hunt, all while showing everyone how it's done by pushing social networking to its limits with a smile. We're in it to win it, but we'll still happily share a drink and a laugh with you at the end of the night because that's how Civility 2.0 is done. Happy hunting!

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tatiana and Tim have only met via social media and never in person. We are ready to blow away the competition and use the Urban Hunt as a launching pad to a spot on the next season of Amazing Race. (Are you paying attention CBS?) So watch out for the dynamite Team Dashal (TNT) as we explode through the challenges and blow away the competition.

Camera in hand, Teresa has been known to stalk photographic opportunities with the tenacity of a pride of lions. In her spare time, Teresa lends her many talents to various secret projects that you really shouldn't concern yourself with. She is ready to show you what time it is. Tom was raised by wolves. After years of wandering in the wilderness he found himself enlisting in the Marine Corps - it must have seemed like a natural progression. Unfortunately not much more is known about Tom. It's been rumored that he has a glass eye. In addition to possibly being eyeless, he may or may not have a spleen, but that information was lost in his military records years ago. Currently Tom is employed by a Direct Marketing company in Chicago. He enjoys running and mangoes.

Team Bio : A long, long, long time ago, before the beginning of time, there was an event, the FIJI Water Urban Hunt. It revolutionized the way people found stuff, discussed stuff, gave stuff away and rubbed up against sponsors without realizing they were doing so.

But something else happened that day. Something bigger. Something brighter. Something that smelled good. This was the formation and domination of Team CelebTV. When ING and Fiji Water separately said, “let’s do this” little did they know they were setting up the opportunity for Team CelebTV to form and dominate every single social media driven promotion ever created until the day they died. They won gym memberships. They won Tastykakes. They even won a trip to meet the real Shaq and the guy behind s*** my dad says.

Social media opened yet another window that day. A window into the soul of two men who strove to be the best, the best around. And no one, yes no one could bring them down.

This is what they will say. This is what they will say.
