Give me a Shove!

A while back Steve Elkins and I went out on the waters of Newport with a camera and a script.

I taped the script to the back of the seat of the Phoenix, rowed, and talked to the camera that Steve was holding.  It took more than a few takes, and I'm still not crazy about every aspect of it, but it was acceptable for entry into a contest with American Airlines - the "Flights Camera Action" promotion.

My wife had suggested we throw our hat into the ring with this contest, and we were notified last week that we made it into the semi-finals.

I share the field with 49 other contestants, and for roughly the next four weeks it will be an online voting contest.

Here's where I need help from my friends.

If you read the Gondola Blog, and have found it helpful, enjoyable, or in some way habit-forming, please make a habit of voting for my video entry by going to this page.

It takes a minute to watch the video, and about another minute to vote.

You can vote once each day (for each email address) until August 26th.

Here's what to do:

  1. Go to the link above - or click here: https://secure.fly.aa.com/flightscameraaction/Vote.aspx?vidID=16

  2. Enter your email address and the security code and click "Vote Now"

  3. You will receive an email verification; click on the link in the email to confirm your vote.

It's easy and it will make a big difference.
Give me a good shove.

As an added plus, when you vote, you're also entering to win 25,000 miles with American Airlines.

Thanks for reading the Gondola Blog, amici.

Have a great day.
