I am PRAYING, lol.
This might just be my only chance ever, so I'm not taking it for granted.

Hmmm. The only things I was able to dig up last night (only a 1-hour dig) were from June-September: a series of 6 episodes and that G4 had green-lighted their version, plus a few scraps from blogs. Maybe I'll try to get a hold of the Broadcast Cable magazine to see if there's any more news. And then run a major dig. I also have a pet theory, but I want more evidence before I'll say anything here because you-all know more about this than I do.

I'm really hoping that Monster 9 allows Americans to submit videos to them, because I'm actually thinking about submitting a video as well since this may very well be my best and possibly only (hopefully not) chance to compete.

UPDATE!! Just got an email from my G4 contact. We ARE allowed to sumbit an application directly to M9 BUT G4 will probably still determine the American participation along with M9 and TBS in the next couple of weeks.
So at least we are still free to submit. Our chances of being selected may be slim, but if we don't enter at all then of course our chances would be zero. Operation Underdogs is now in effect! Who's effing with me!!!!

Who's effing with me!!!! So g4 is still going to help in choosing the americans...? So us under 21 are pretty much screwed again? And since G4 wants someone who can definately win they arn't going to look for someone who "stands out" like M9 would, they will look for who they think is the best or free runners or some s***. Aw dam.

Not sure.. since there are no restrictions in the M9 version I don't believe age will cause a problem. Still don't like G4 is picking but the idea that you are allowed to send it to directly to M9 is a plus.
One huge question though.. if G4 is involved.. are they paying for anything? The investment in G4 usually included them PAYING for your way through.. if that's the case.. hmmm.. interesting turn of events..

G4 has the Minus touch, everything they touch turns to $#!t.

If I'm getting too close to the deadline I'll just turn it in without subs... Actually we should probably send it soon so that we don't have to pay rediculous shipping. This gives me another thought, maybe VHS would be best. If I burn a DVD here it has an American region code, right? Thus unviewable by Japanese DVD players.

Could give them both They are NTSB in Japan so they should play.. it's region coding that companies do that won't play.. burning one on your own should be fine but to be safe send both Besides.. it's higher quality if you send a DVD or a CD with the video. Again use the address. I provided it in English because you do have to fill out a customs form.. and if the sucker is anything like the ones I used.. you have to write it in English .. otherwise.. hope you know how to copy Kanji...

Well, Arsenette convinced me to submit a video myself. I'm going to try to show the leg work I've been touching on (Not hardcore, as I didn't really expect to enter this tournament), so I'm mainly going to just be fixing up my last video. Even so, my snowballs chance in hell may not even make it that far, depending on when Sasuke will be recorded. December is going to be an nasty-busy month for me, including a flight to Europe for family support in a marching band competition for my younger brother, so that definitely takes presidence. But who knows. Everything might just fall in line. Somehow, it might just work itself after my Trig final, get me back home before a flight to Europe, somehow accept me as a participant, pay for my flight to and from, and not let me fail the first obstacle. But that's all in God's hands, not mine. Bedtime now... I gotta start preparing. And pray to God with me if you believe in Him. I think we ALL need all the help we can get!

And yes, we can't do it alone! If you meant to compete in 24, God will make a way.

Also I've gotten most of the footage, but I'm disappointed with a lot of the shots so I may refilm some. I'm also contemplating whether to film and intro or not. And there was a clip I wanted to film so bad yesterday... but I totally forgot what it was >_>
