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 10th, 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.
