So how was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Mine went well. I spent it at my cousin Cary’s house in Long Island. She made Carrot Suffle again this year which I was totally excited about. Did any of you have anything new for your Thanksgiving dinner?
I finally returned to work today after missing a week. I had strep throat. It was terrible. I think I lost some weight. Eating was a chore as it was often too painful to swallow. But I’m doing much better now.
Anyway, I wanted to leave you guys with a pretty cool Wish List link. It’s something I recently worked on. Give/get the gift of music this holiday season! http://winduprecords.com/holidays
Pantene Pro V has recently launched their Beautiful Lengths campaign to encourage men and women of all ages to donate 8 inches of hair. The donated hair will be used to create free wigs for cancer patients. One wig takes approximately three to four months to make and uses about six ponytails worth of hair.
Their current goal is to reach a million inches of hair and from the response they’ve been getting, I don’t think they’ll have a problem. Hilary Swank has made an example of herself by donating her own 8 inches. My friend Crystal is currently in the process of doing the same. I would have loved to participate but unfortunately I have permanently dyed hair. =(
You can donate your hair individually or even participate in/host a cutting event. For more information on how you can make a difference, visit:
This evening I decided I would change my myspace profile music which was playing ‘A Girl Named Tex’ by Trocadero from the Red Vs. Blue Soundtrack. Working at Wind-up has made me rather obsessed with Evanescence, so I went their myspace; I was going to use Lithium as my new song. However, while on their myspace I saw mention of Sick Puppies, a band I recognized and liked from listening to itunes radio. I used the song “My World” from them instead.
I started reading the Sick Puppies bio which talked about their “All the Same” video and the Free Hugs campaign. The following comes directly from the Sick Puppies myspace bio:
“Even if you don’t know Sydney, Australia modern rock trio Sick Puppies, you’ve probably seen their groundbreaking “Free Hugs,” video, which has garnered more than 11 million views on YouTube.com since it started streaming on the site last year. The heartwarming clip chronicles the true life adventures of a man who walks around holding a billboard that reads “Free Hugs,” the police who ban his humanitarian crusade, and the petition that earned him back the right to provide hugs to citizens in need.
The “Free Hugs” video, which accompanied the band’s song “All The Same,” earned Sick Puppies exposure on Oprah, Jay Leno, “60 Minutes” and CNN, and inspired people around the world to begin their own free hugs campaigns. It also propelled “All the Same” into a top-requested single at commercial radio stations across North America. But while the “Free Hugs” video helped spread the music and message of Sick Puppies, the band is anything but an overnight success.”
Please leave your comments I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks about this video.
