Southwest Vegas Contest HELP!

Post by kaci_beeler »

Roy and I are in Las Vegas!
We had to make a video in less than 24 hours!

any minute now the video should be posted to
http://southwest.spigit.com

The challenge was to make a video that shows me "Living the Southwest Way". That means demonstrating three qualities while out and about around Vegas:
1. A FUN-Luving attitude: We take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
2. A Servant's Heart: We live by the Golden Rule, and treat others the way we want to be treated.
3. A Warrior Spirit: We believe in doing whatever it takes to succeed!

So Roy and I got this challenge and then romped all around the Las Vegas strip getting footage. We had a total of an hour by the end of the day, and then had to cut it down to 5 minutes.

In 15-20 min the three finalist videos will be up on http://southwest.spigit.com, where the people of the world wide web can vote until 12pm PST (2pm Texas time) TODAY.

I'll let you know how it goes when I find out the winner later today at Blog World.

Just voted a thumb up for you & thumbs down for the others. I watched as much as I could of all three, and yours was clearly the best! Also sent a note to friends in my address book who I thought might enjoy it.

Yeah! After 2pm, Kaci's in 1st place with 183 spigs. 2nd place is at 181, 3rd at 117. Awesome Kaci!

(I wonder how much longer after 2pm it'll accept votes?)

AAArrgh! at 2:45, Kaci has fallen behind a little bit. Although, I do agree with Kristin that the judges will see that Kaci's the obvious best choice).
(And since my last edit, she went back up by 2 points, 190 to 188).
(I just got back from Burn After Reading, and it looks like people are still voting, past 6:30 pm Central? Kaci's in a close second place, 274 to 283).

according to my clock it's after 2pm, but the votes keep going up... so if you haven't voted yet, it'd be worth a shot to still give it a try.
