The Indiana Jones of Architecture

Are you "the Indiana Jones of Architecture"? Are you between the ages of 30-45, and willing to climb tall buildings in front of a camera, hosting a new gonzo-immersive reality architectural tourism show? Dangling from outside the Sears Tower, rappelling down the Washington Monument, perhaps spending a night or two camping alone somewhere deep inside the lost tunnels of the Pacific NW? All while cracking jokes, referencing Corbu, and exhibiting fantastic personality?
Get tetanus crawling through abandoned hospitals, kick rats out of the way as you haul yourself, Die Hard-style, through Los Angeles air ducts, visit vast climate-controlled ballrooms in Las Vegas and fall into bed fully dressed at 6am. Break into Fort Knox. Scale the walls of 33 Thomas Street.
I have no idea if that's what this show will really be about, to be honest – but if you're interested in hosting it, email williamwiegman via hotmail.com.

Unfortunately I am not over the age of 30. If I were, I would be all over this.

Apply anyway! They can always add grizzled manliness to your hair or something.

I'm submitting. If I get it, we can discuss your commission.

By the sounds of it this show is about climbing.

Interesting - turns out that, yes, you do have to be male to host this show: Architect's Newspaper.
