hello folks. beth and i have a rather strange favor request for you if you have a few minutes to spare.

though we are too poor to take a vacation of our own, we would really like to win a contest that jane magazine is having. in it, you get to pick anywhere you want to go for whatever reason you have, just as long as you can convince them that you are cool enough. or something. we decided that we really need a velvet elvis painting in our house, and we need to go to graceland to get one, because if there is one place in this world that they must be selling velvet elvis paintings, the giftshop at graceland has got to be it. that's where you come in.

we have to propose our idea to them in a creative way. along with the video we will be sending them, complete with the blank shot of the wall where the velvet elvis painting should be hanging, we also want to send along a little booklet of testimonials from our family and friends, convincing them that we are worthy of winning this contest. if you are familiar with the popular websites such as friendster and myspace, you get the idea. if not, here is what we are asking of you:

write a few words about why beth and i so desperately need a velvet elvis painting for the sugar shack, or why we deserve to go to graceland to look for one and pay our respects to the king, or something along those lines. be silly. be creative. BE CONVINCING! we need to get out of cleveland!

if you could do this at your earliest convenience, we sure would appreciate it. we have to send everything in within a few weeks. if you have any more questions or anything, feel free to email me (brainstew3@aol.com) or beth (soreonthefloor@aol.com).

thank you from the bottom of our little elvis-loving hearts,
