Story by Phillip B. Crook
How's this sound for a blind date? Kevin Richberg is a 32-year-old hunk of brown hair and brains. He recently earned a graduate degree in marine biology from MIT. He's a self-described "hopeful romantic" with a serious case of wanderlust. It was while traversing India that Kevin decided to begin an adventure across the U.S. to find Mr. Right.
Interested? Too late.
As of Oct. 31, Kevin completed his project called "30 Dates.30 Days.30 Cities", a journey he blogged about daily on the road. In Spokane, Washington (one-time home of Out's November coverboy Cheyenne Jackson), Kevin's date took him pottery painting. Mr. Denver took him to the modern art museum, Mr. Minneapolis to admire the Mary Tyler Moore statue, Mr. Knoxville to lay around a camp fire, Mr. Birmingham to tour a haunted factory and Mr. Chicago to...well, Mr. Chicago stood Kevin up. But if you're going to be abandoned, why not in a place that sports its own Boystown for a plan B?
We're still waiting on Kevin's last few posts, particularly about his final date Halloween night. We already know what he told The Advocate about his first 20 dates, but let's just cut to the chase -- did Kevin find love on the road or not?!
If the answer's no, give us a call.
