Super Bowl Bound...

Hi,

I am in a competition to be sent to LA to be in a Super Bowl commercial. Yep, me, you know that guy who ran water to everyone on the Feehan Football team back in High School.

The competition has come down to a week of voting. You may vote once a day from today (the 15th) until August 23rd. The person with the most votes will win the competition and be sent to LA to see a Super Bowl commercial be filmed and possibily be in the commercial themselves.

Please go to

http://www.benspark.com/time-to-vote-for-my-super-bowl-dreams.html

This post will tell you all you need to know about the contest and how to vote. Please take a moment each day to vote, I would really appreciate the help you could give me.

There is a one time sign up where you need only put in a username, pick a password and give a valid e-mail address. That is all that is required. Thanks.

Thanks,

DREW

Guest Photo-A-Day

Allison and I are going on our honeymoon from November 14-22, 2005 and I will not be taking the laptop or the means to post images for Photo-A-Day. But don't fret I have taken steps to keep you visually stimulated for the days we are away. I have solicited the help of many talented individuals to help with the posting. From November 14-22, 2005 the BenSpark will be featuring a Guest Photo-A-Day.

Guest PADer #1 will be the one and only Christopher Williams. My inspiration behind Photo-A-Day. Back in 2002 Christopher took a Photo-A-Day and posted them to his website. Sounds like a simple concept, but some days it is much harder than you think. Christopher, however is a n awesome folk singer and travels all over the country to play, so he has many great shots from all around the U.S. Allison and I love to go and hear Christopher sing. We had a few of his songs played at our wedding too.

Guest PADer #2 will be Lisa Spodak. Lisa is a friend of Christopher's from college and she has been taking a Photo-A-Day for a three years now. That is committment! And speaking of committments, Lisa walked in all eight (314 miles) of the Avon Breast Cancer Walks in 2005 and raised over $25,000 total. That is a fantastic accomplishment.

Guest PADer #3 will be my friend from High School and now as well, Andy. Andy is a kite boarder and has written a book on Cisco Routers and has a great fiance named Rondi. Allison and I have spent many fun nights at their house playing board games and having great meals. Andy also comments on this blog often and that is a good thing because he has a rather dry, sharp, and funny wit. Andy has some great pictures of his dog Stephen. Let's see what he takes this week.

Guest PADer #4 is Kym Rhoman. Kym is a fan of Christopher Williams and was also inspired to take a Photo-A-Day. We have not met, but we were at the same Ellis Paul show back in October at Tupelo. After the show I posted about the show and Kym left a comment. Since then we have exchanged links and are fans of each other's Photo-A-Day projects.

Guest PADer #5 is my cousin Matt. Matt is a fantastic artist of many, many mediums. He is also an accomplished drummer and has been in many bands. His latest musical incarnation is called Bossburner. Matt also keeps a buzznet photo blog with some really great stuff. Matt, it seems, is all over the web. He has his own graphic design website called Spychild Design. He also has a site that showcases his art http://www.msloboganart.com/. I am looking forward to what Matt has to post for his Photo-A-Day image. He's been on buzznet less than six months and already has a featured photo. Great job.

Guest PADer #6 is our friend Maureen, or rather, Mo. Mo runs here own blog called We're In A Fight and she has the enviable task of making sure that each Guest Photo-A-Day that is posted during guest week on my Buzznet Account is then transferred to this blog. Mo also hosts a trivia contest each day and is one of the funnier people to breathe the air of this world. Mo will be doing the Prayer of The Faithful at our wedding and she is a former Saint A's Residence Hall Director like I was. It was fun working up on the hilltop with Mo.

Guest PADer #7 is the talented web comic artist Wes Molebash. You may recall that I purchased some of Wes' original art recently. I ran across Wes' comic You'll Have That probably a month or two after it went up on the Viper Comic site. You'll Have That is the story of Andy and Katie, a newly married couple. Allison and I just love Wes' characters and his stories. We felt at one point that Wes was secretly taping our lives because the comics rang so true. Wes is also a very nice guy and genuine. We look forward to meeting him if he ever comes up this way to a comic convention.

Guest PADer #8 is Gabrielle Krupnick. I found Gabrielle through Kym's page. I'm looking forward to what Gabrielle contributes to Guest Photo-A-Day.

Guest PADer #9 is Kostika. She is a fan of You'll Have That and she volunteered to help me out when I put out the call on the YHT Forums. Kostika has her own moBlog (mobile phone blog) and some photography on deviantart.com.

I would like to thank everyone for participating in the Guest Photo-A-Day project. I can't wait to see what everyone posts. (When we get back from Arubua that is.) Also be ready for all of the Photo-A-Day stuff I took while on the honeymoon. I'm sure there will be plenty of galleries uploaded upon our return.

Harley-Davidson Pins

Okay so now all of my Harley-Davidson pins are now photographed and online. I have even included a link to each of the shop's web sites. I even tightened up all the buzzwords and made the subject names reflect the specific shops. Took a little while but it is now complete. Hopefully during my trip next week I can get 5 more pins. Keep watching for them.
