DeanMail - July 20, 2013 - France, Scotland Gigs PLUS Announcing: Dean's YouTube Video Contest Hi Folks, I hope you're all surviving the heat! Me? I've been hugging the air-conditioner and spending an inordinate amount of time re-organizing the shelves in the refrigerator, every few hours. (I can never decide where to store the pickle jar.) Meanwhile... I'm off to France in just a few days to conduct my 'Songwriting Seminar' at the French House Party and kick off my European tour with two gigs in France - Carcassonne, then La Baronniere nr Poiters - then north to Scotland for my 3-week run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (plus gigs in Glasgow, Ayr and Bathgate). But curiously, while I was standing near the open refrigerator, relishing a blast of cold air and contemplating the perplexities of pickle-placement, an odd thought occurred to me. I thought to myself, 'hmmm... maybe I should launch a Dean Friedman YouTube Video Contest!' And so I have. Folks, I'm pleased to announce the official, Dean Friedman YouTube Video Contest, open to anyone with a video camera and an urge to sing, or lip-synch, or dance around acting goofy (or serious) to their favorite Dean Friedman song. Check out the video below, which explains all about the contest. And you'll find the official rules at: www.deanfriedman.com/videocontest.html I hope a whole bunch of you will enter the contest and I'm really looking forward to seeing the YouTube video results! Have fun! Stay cool! See you on tour!   Dean   CLICK TO SEE DEAN's YOUTUBE CONTEST VIDEO    copyright (c) 2013 Dean Friedman Productions If you would like to be removed from Dean's email list, please send a reply email with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject.
