A chance to be in a video AND win free stuff. And the two are completely unrelated. But how can you say no?

1) I’ve already gotten in a few video/picture entries for “I am _______.” But where’s yours? Send it to me (see below) by Friday. Remember when y’all all wished you’d been a part of the dance party after you saw the video? uh huh… This is much less embarrassing. So do it. Who’s in?

2) All you church people are gonna like this, because my buddies at Integrity and Logos are hosting this MASSIVE giveaway to celebrate a new software release called “Proclaim.” The prizes all center around one thing—creating powerful worship services. Raise your hand if you could use some of these prizes: a new and professionally church created website, hosted free for a year, a year of expert video and audio podcasting, $100s in gift cards for worship music, subscriptions to the top worship planning site, membership to top worship media sites, downloadable music lessons, an acoustic guitar (hello!!), tickets to some of the premier worship leader and music conference, and much more! To enter watch the video at http://proclaimonline.com and at the end there is a list of ways to enter the giveaway. There are several one-time ways to enter and a couple ways to enter every day!

Everybody likes free stuff, right? And, today you’ve got a chance to be in the latest greatest blog-community video [AHEM], AND win some cool stuff! Or just pick one of the two. They are highly unrelated. But equally fabulous.

Somebody oughta thank me–by sending in their part of the group video…

Group Vid: I am ___________.

Posted on February 15, 2011 by mandythompson

Hola!

I recently had one of those late-night blog ideas that don’t show up in my brain nearly as often as I’d like ‘em to–match this thought with a very pivotal moment for me at Recreate last week, and we get this neat way to celebrate who we really are.

Remember the dance video from a while back? yeah. This isn’t going to be a dance video, but we will be making a group video filling in the blank about YOU, so you finish this sentence about yourself:

I am _________.

Your answer can be anything. A picture. A video snippet. A word on a piece of paper. It can be sincere, sad, serious, smart, or some other s-word for funny. (I’m a songwriter. My mind sometimes jumps to alliteration. Sorry.) But it’s GOTTA be less than 5 seconds. mkay?

Aaaanyway, if you don’t have a video-camera, don’t get all “mandy won’t let everyone participate uggghhhhhhhh” on me. Just take a picture with you and your answer. It can be as simple as writing your phrase on a piece of paper (well-readable) and holding it up in the shot. Or you can sign the whole thing in a series of photos and I’ll take it from there.

All files (vids, images, what-have-yous) should be sent by Friday, Feb 18th to “groupvid[at]mandythompson.com” through yousendit.com. Very user-friendly site. Go ahead, check it out now.

By Friday night Feb 18th, you send me a pic, vid clip, or something completing this about YOU: I am ________. And we’ll celebrate!

So, ok kids, that’s the plan. Go.
