Hi Jeff,
I apologise for contacting you through the comments, but I could not find your email address.
I run http://www.hikingsanfrancisco.com and I'd love to exchange blogroll mentions with your site.
Would you be open to that?
Sincerely,
Alex Genadinik
ps - sorry again to use the message section for this.
this is such an amazing contest, I don't remember the last time that I was actually inspired by someone who made one of those video applications....
Check out this guy...

This guys is pretty sweet too!
I think the most interesting video should win not the boring narrative about loving the outdoors..

yeah, agreed. I think it should be more about a personal relationship and how their life is effected by it.
I have been really inspired by some of the videos, so much so that it really made me stop and ask "How do I mountain" ... and for me I decided "it's an Attitude" more than a destination, as so many times we unfortunately do not have the luxury of being in the mountains.
I would love to hear your feedback about my video - I have never made a movie in my life before - but here goes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn1us6LYHwM
Megan - you did a great job - the video itself, and of selling yourself. Hey, and that food looked good as well!
Good luck - let us know if you're selected.
Jeff
