Wow. 1000 posts in just over six months. I love this community - some of the nicest, funniest, most genuine people I've never met! I really have to make it to the Ukulele World Congress next year and meet some of you in person!
Because of the fun I've had here and the great camaraderie, I am announcing my number 1000 contest:
1) Because I'm too lousy of an ukulele player to post my own YouTube performance, this is a NON-performing contest!
2) My family has listened to all the different things I've shared from UU over the last several months; accordingly, they have helped design the contest.
3) My wife, kids, and I will be the sole judges; we will winnow all the entries (hopefully a lot of them) down to five finalists. My son and daughter will be responsible for picking the grand prize winner.
4) And...enter as often as you like - the more the merrier!
5) The prize won't be much besides the pride of winning and the knowledge that a 13-year-old and a 3-1/2-year-old thought you were the best. Oh, yeah, you'll also received a lovely, framed, acknowledgment of your superiority (picture to follow), signed by the entire Hughes family.
So...all that said, here's the challenge:
Because my username is bbycrts, which is short for baby carrots - and because this is an ukulele site - this is a vegetable-and-ukes poetry challenge!
Create a poem of any type that somehow blends the idea of ukuleles and vegetables into a single work of literary art. We are a family that values humor, just so you know...
The deadline for this contest is JULY 31, 2009, a date I just whipped out of my head at random. Get writing!
