Everybody Video Contest

Really wish I had an earlier start at this, but Ingrid Michaelson (one of my favorite artists) has this contest to make a video to her song "Everybody" and it ends Wednesday! So To get into the final round, we need to rack up a TON of views....so please watch, and share it with friends and then watch it again and again and again.



Thanks to Katie who helped me make the video, and Dylan who stole the show with his cuteness!

And the winners are...

Also look-out for a blog about the show itself.

I’m pretty livid that (500) Days of Summer got shut-out. One of the 5 best films of the year!! Stupid Academy...
