Excellent suggestions have been made, choices have been meticulously whittled down, polls have been painstakingly created, and you are now free to vote! The polls for my birthday lipdub can be found in the blog entries to follow.

Make sure to cast your vote by this Sunday!

Now is also a good time to send me an email and let me know if you think you’ll be able to participate or not. I’d like to get a rough idea of how many people to plan for.

Speaking of participation, I have received numerous questions from people asking if it would be OK to bring children, other friends, or Ed’s cousin Dan to the lipdub. The answer is NO! No, I’m just kidding. I’m looking forward to having the kids do something wildly inappropriate in the video. The more the merrier!

Also in the news, we have a fancy camera for the video. Thanks, Emma! Now we just need someone to operate it. Any takers? We also have some funky costumes. Thanks, Emma and Amber!

We also need a steadicam. Trust me, it will make all the difference. But instead of buying a 1000 euro piece of equipment, I’m thinking we can build one! Do we have any volunteers? Please? You can consider it a birthday present, if you like. I’ll even pay for it! Just do a Google search for “how to build a steadicam” and you’ll find all sorts of cheap and relatively easy options. Please.

I’ll write once again on Monday to let you all know the final results of the polls and to see if anyone would like to help with the planning/choreography.

Soooo excited.
