Here's the story--
Nikki and Maddie two 17 year olds from chicago have been fans of Kathy since they were 13.

freshman year, Maddie and Nikki (14 at the time) went to Kathy griffins show in chicago. After the show, they had to wait for their parents to pick them up. While they were waiting, a crack addict offered them a cigarette, which they politely turned down. The crack addict then asked "you waitin' for Kathy?"...they were to weirded out to respond, so she continued. "She comes out the back, if you girls are in the mood for a treat, meeting a celebrity." Maddie and Nikki stupidly follow the crack addict into the alley. Then they realized that this was a prime oppurtunity to meet their inspiration and favorite celebrity Kathy. But--Kathy snuck out a different exit. Maddie and Nikki sulked for days.

Sophomore year Nikki and Maddie went to the show, and tried to wait again for Kathy to come out. No such luck. Again, they sulked for days.

Junior Year Kathy was not only doing a book signing, but also a show. Maddie and Nikki planned on attending the book signing, even if it was on a school night. Maddie ended up catching the Swine Flu. Nikki's parents did not want her to go out, with her cold, on a school night. So Nikki took drastic measures and put pillows under her sheets, stole her parents car keys and drove to Borders. Nikki stood by herself around Borders like a complete freak for an hour. The Borders staff kept glaring at her like she was going to pull out a gun. Finally Kathy's signing ended. No one except the Borders staff were around, so Nikki tried to approach Kathy, but was shut down by glares from the Borders employees. Nikki was so starstruck, she couldn't say anything. She went home, sobbed, and confessed to her parents what she had done. They laughed at her.

Now Nikki was filled with even more ambition. Her and Maddie staked out the Chicago Theatre for hours before following Kathy back to her hotel. As creepy as this sounds, they are merely loyal fans who wanted to meet their idol.

Nikki has also played Kathy's alma mater, Oak Park River Forest in field hockey multiple times. getting crushed each year.

I was so disappointed when I missed out the last time on your contest, but I have re-worked my video. The response has been great to it, so I hope you like it.

[Brian Finch]

Here is my video for the contest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7j_8XdV ... r_embedded I tried to get it embedded into the forum, but it didn't work.

I decided to give you the whole story. Just incase you want to verify any of it, check out http://gayguidetoronto.com/acid-reflux/ and my personal blog http://www.acidrefluxweb.com

My friend Shaun Proulx, of Shaun Proulx Media has the aboved linked website GayGuideToronto.Com (I am a blogger on his site), as well as http://shaunproulx.ca/himbo/ and has his own show, The Shaun Proux Show with Proud FM (http://www.proudfm.com/afternoon_drive.php, and Out TV http://www.outtv.ca/shaunproulxshow.php . Shaun and I have been longtime friends and I'm often on his show to talk about HIV related work I've been doing, and the way I work with humour. Both Shaun and are located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

As soon as I got the idea for this, and I know how much Kathy loves promotion, I asked Shaun if he'd be a part of this. For this entry, I came back and in between being live and quickly rehot his role in my entry. I aslo re-shot the SADS light bit.

I really debated sharing my entire story, but what the hell. I think it has meaning to it.

My entry for the "Kathy Griffin Youtube Contest" After missing the deadline for Kathy Griffin's "She'll Cut A Bitch" free DVD, I was very disappointed. Here is the link to the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luHKR27VD78 All was not lost with this rework entry to her new fabulous contest to win tickets to PrideFest and a meet and greet, I knew that I could dream again of actually meeting her, which you have to admit is a lot better than a free DVD.

Consider this video contest entry to be very green, it's recycled leaving a very small carbon footprint.

Often I've been asked, "What is up with you and Kathy Griffin?"

So here's the story. I've been an out HIV positive activist for over twenty years now. Since it seems like I'm actually going to grow old, I need something new to focus on, and hey why not Kathy?

The real truth is that I was stealing her shtick long before I really knew her comedy and consequently fell in love with Kathy's brand of humour and the art of self-promotion.

In the world of AIDS activism there is, believe it or not, a star system. Yes, I know, an AIDS celebrity, it's kind of like an oxymoron.

On World AIDS Day, and whilst my colleagues are tending to their national press interviews for the occasion, I was busy doing interviews for "24 Hour News" You know that little news rag you read on the subway on the way to work.

That was me!

Then I was off to do my interview for a day time public access show on Rogers Cable tv here in Toronto.

I've done a lot of things in my life, public access has never been one of them.

Once finished, I called my friend who had arranged this, and said, "George, I just finished doing public access....public access. You know what this means? This officially means I'm the Kathy Griffin of the AIDS world?."

It's bad enough to catch this pesky thing, but to be d-list too? I felt a certain kinship. Then when I actually got to see "My Life on the D-List" and Kathy went to Mexico and ripped Oprah off by building her school in Mexico on 99 dollars or whatever, I knew it was ok to temporally re-title my blog "My life on the AIDS D-list"

Wait, there's more.

Three years ago, while taking a break from snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, I bumped into an American woman. Barb, I'll call her, began telling me of how she and her son were on a trip sponsored by the Make A Wish Foundation.

I gulped. Her son had testicular cancer at the age of 17. Before I could react Barb touched my arm and said, "It's ok, he's in remission."

That's when I turned to my friend and said, "When do I get my wish?"

Yes it's a sad story, but he survived, lost his left nut, and got a free trip to Australia.

My viral infection is older than he was. I've successfully managed pull off living with HIV for about 25 years. That oughta count for something. True story: Blog Post http://acidrefluxweb.com/?p=984

That's when I decided that my wish was to one day meet Kathy Griffin. I started a Facebook group, flew off to see her in New York.

I fell in love with her F&#K YOU attitude and is simply being herself, a quality that I admire as I stick my neck out on the line all the time simply "just being myself."

You might as well save yourself a lot of heartache by chosing me the winner because I'm going to keep video stalking you until it finally happens.

So Kathy what do you say?

[webSTAFF]

Brian, thanks for the alterations....please post a link for people to see the original version because even though it was late, it is fantastic and people should see the original. Can you tell us a little about Sean, what city is he from and do you work with him? Find it fantastic he helped alter the video request.

Molly, thanks to you and your friends for your efforts. Takes guts to sing, was wonderful.

Hugs guys, both were great. William
