So there’s this guy, see, and he’s overweight. He out and out calls himself fat. And to do something about it he’s decided to walk from his home in San Diego to New York City.
Yowsa.
Of course, he’s keeping a blog about his journey, called appropriately enough “Fat Man Walking.” He’s evidently managing to put up entries somehow.

Update 7/29/05: It seems several people who’ve come to this blog don’t understand that I have nothing to do with the Fat Man Walking. If you’re interested in contacting Steve Vaught or in giving him notes of support, please go to his page and contact him and his wife. I don’t know if he’ll ever see this page, and you’ll be sure to let him know how you feel if you write to him instead of me. Thanks.
Just keep on, keepin’ on. Hard charger. Hailing from Chattanooga Tn if you need a place to rest your weary hooves. Best wishes. C-3/75th Ranger

Hello,
I’m one of the filmmakers who followed Steve Vaught, aka, “The Fat Man Walking” for 13 months last year. Well, we’ve finally finished the film and are in talks with distributors. What’s most amazing to me is theire initial response “we’d like it have a happen ending, is there something you can do?” My response is, “this is what really happened, not like those scriptd Reality Shows,” but they just don’t seem to get it. We’ve had a couple of private screening, one in Dallas to a packed theater, and one in Hollywood. I flew Steve in for the Dallas screening, which by the way was the first time he had ever seen the film. I also decided not to tell the audience that Steve was present untill the film was over. The reaction was prettty amazing…. Even after a 2 hour Q&A, people still wanted to talk about the film. Hopefully, we’ll get distribution, so everyone can see it. In the meanwhile, here’s a link to 3 movie trailers we’ve posted on YouTube.
