‘Chicago = Awesome’ = a winner!

Hey now!  Did you vote for my entry in the Chicago 2016 Olympic Bid video contest?  If you did, THANKS!!!  I placed second which is actually kind of just what I hoped for.  Second prize is $5,000 worth of video production gear!!  I’m a glory hog and wouldn’t have minded winning the whole thing but man oh man can I use that equipment.  I even get to pick my own stuff so Crapbot Productions will soon be getting a full gear upgrade!  Looks like my call to Rod Blagojevich to ask him to pull some strings for me in exchange for a piece of the prize really paid off.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about you probably aren’t from around these parts.  The Chicago 2016 Olympic Bid Committee sponsored a video contest and they promoted the thing like crazy.  Everyday as I walk through the loop I pass at least three advertisements encouraging people to enter.  So it’s hella exciting to win something that’s so high profile.  More details about the contest can be found here: http://www.nbcchicago.com/station/as_seen_on/Finalists-Named-in-Why-Chicago-Video-Contest.html

And you can watch my entry “Chicago = Awesome” here:  http://www.nbcchicago.com/station/as_seen_on/Chicago_Awesome_Chicago.html

If you’re in the Chicagoland viewing area on Thursday be sure to set your alarm for 6:40am to see me and the other winner on channel 5 be introduced by an “Olympian.”  I’m hoping it’s Aphrodite.

Thanks for hooking me up....douche.
