Wait till I demand a room at the Chateau Marmont and dinner at the Ivy

Well, this seems like a pretty cool idea, especially for politically active types like us Too Saucy-ites. There is a contest underway sponsored by Ziddio.com which is giving anyone a chance to host a Henry Rollins Show Marathon on IFC (Independent Film Channel).

Rollins, of course, is the former lead of Black Flag and the Rollins Band (I actually met him briefly once, years ago, when he was on one of the labels at the record company I used to work for). He's gotten quite political and hosts a provocative talk show on IFC.

The contest is for you to record and upload a 30 second video "rant" on one of 11 topics he's chosen (abortion, global warming, Iraq, etc.) and the person who makes the one he chooses gets flown to Los Angeles, meets Henry, and hosts an upcoming marathon of his show on IFC.

That's pretty cool, considering I usually rant for free - often on New York street corners, sadly enough.

Contest info is at ziddio.com/myrollinsrant

Give it a shot, Too Saucy-ites. Who doesn't want a free trip to L.A. and an on-air gig. Who knows where that could lead!

I wondered whatever happened to him. Who knew he was doing a talk show!

I can't figure out how to enter. How do you get your video onto that site?

Severin, it's basically like any user-generated site. Tape your video, transfer it from your camcorder to your computer (remember what folder you put it in, of course), then on the Ziddio contest site look for the Upload button, click that, navigate to the folder containing the video, and click on your video. Voila!

Is the mysterious jbk one of those videos on that site?

J said...

Jill G. nope, I haven't put mine up yet. I'm still tinkering with my 30 second script. I may even change the topic I've chosen. Stay tuned.

JBK is still searching the topic list to find a couple topics close to his heart:

1. Why I love Q's Blonde Bartender and her husky boobs.
2. Why I voted Republican and felt good about it
3. Why I secretly love looking at Guilliani in drag
4. Why i would marry my cats if they could cook
5. Why bees are so scary

My hatred of Jack Daniels

Haha I didn't realize I had so many comedians reading.

And to my instigating husky friend, half of your suggestions don't even make sense, and I noted a few typos. Looks like you were drinking some expensive alcohol or something. That must be nice.
