I’m so close to meeting Kathy Griffin with this contest, details and link in today’s post at the bottom for the video, and my poetic writing, ah plea.

See the last post for the video, and please watch it. I managed to get 374 people to watch it in a week. My one and only competitor in this contest has 100, and her video isn’t that great.

Plus, when I went to the forum on the Kathy Griffin site to add something to my contest post where the link to my video is found, I saw a note to me from the Team Griffin Webmaster.

Now for those who don’t know I made a video to win a DVD. When I went to submit it, I saw I missed the bloody deadline. Disappointed, I shared it with friends etc, and it still has gotten about 450 viewings.

In the video I say that I was not successful meeting Kathy Griffin through my FaceBook page (which I never thought it would work, it was just fun to do), but I’d have to set my sites lower, and get a DVD that had been touched by Team Griffin.

I was going to post it in the Kathy Griffin Forum anyway, but I just wanted Kathy to see it, and if it was in the forum there may have been chance.

That’s when I saw the note from the Team Griffin Webmaster that was to me. Ok, I’m getting closer to Kathy, as Team Griffin had communicated with me! He asked me to post a link to the original along with my up-dated reworked video of the first one. He said it was “fantastic” and he wanted people to see it. There were also a couple other nice things.

For my competitor, he wrote about 8 words thanking here. Now I don’t want to get all cocky, as now that I feel I have a really good chance of winning this, watch out I wont.

Additionally, I decided to give them my humour story about Kathy that also requires me putting out my status, as I did my schtick of “My life on the AIDS D-List” and the “Make a wish incident” in Australia that lead to my wish of wanting to meet Kathy.

It’s all there in case you want to read it. Please do as if you haven’t seen the video I want as many hits on it as possible.

Updates will follow, and wish my luck.

This line is for the front preview page: Watch my new YouTube Contest entry to meet Kathy Griffin.

Now ever since the Great Barrier Reef when I met the mother of a teen who survived testicular cancer and told me they were there with the “Make a wish foundation.” and was in remission, I’ve been asking, “So when do I get to make my wish come true.”

This guy lost his left nut and got a trip to Australia, and I’ve survived HIV for 25 years, when not many have, and what do I get for that?

Is it not too much to want to meet Kathy Griffin.  When it comes to HIV, senority must mean something? Doesn’t it?

Now the video.

Truth be told, I missed the deadline for the first video, and that was just for a DVD. Even then I was disappointed. But life is too short for regrets as the stars came together for a better contest, a meet and greet, plus tickets to PrideFest in Milwaukee this June.

This is much better than a crappy DVD that I can buy online for 15 bucks, and that’s Canadian.

I decided to go green, and recycle, reuse, and reduce. I redid the same video, slightly modified, edited and voilà, it was like it was meant to be.

Given the bit of work that went into it, and those who have to suffer through me posting it everyone, I think this is a much better prize, and more in line with my dream to meet Ms. Griffin.

Now, here’s the thing. I’m pretty sure there is only one other video, as of yet – and the deadline is this Saturday, April 10^th,  so who knows what could happen.

The competition: a frumpy college girl who’s singing a song about Kathy’s mother who likes her wine boxed, “I was raised by a box” say Kathy in her act.  The song is called Tip It, and it’s cute, and she’s obviously put some work into it.

That’s why I’m driven to have more viewings on my video entry than her, and so far I’m beating her two to one, and I want to keep it that way.

So please watch my video. At least click on it, let it play go watch the dishes or to another site, I don’t give a crap. Just click on the damn thing and help a guy out.
