Snake Regurgitation

The deadline for voting in the Snakes on a Plane song contest is coming up (May 23 or maybe a little later - but likely May 23) So maybe if you tell 600 of your closest friends to vote for my entry, I'll move on to the next round.

Here's how to vote.
Go to http://www.tagworld.com/SnakesOnaPlane
Click on the "Vote for Your Favorite Song" link
Uh-Oh! You're at a page that doesn't make sense with the contest! Look in the top right hand corner where it has a place to enter a username and a password. Underneath it is a link to "Join Now!" Click it. (You can only vote for 10 songs -- and they have to keep track so you can't just keep clicking on one song.)
Join. (Traci says that "It takes something like 3 seconds to register -- but it's a pain to find Kirk") (It no longer is a pain to find me.)
After you join -- go back to http://www.tagworld.com/SnakesOnaPlane
Click on the "Vote for Your Favorite Song" link again
Use the name filter -- use "K" (it sorts to Kirk Moore -- not Moore, Kirk)
and you should see my song should be on the first page.
Vote for it.

Thanks!

Snake Voting Day

OK -- it really started yesterday.
And it has nothing to do with political elections or politicians at all.

Back on March 28, I talked about a cheesy rock song (The Snakes are on the Plane) I recorded for a contest for the upcoming movie, Snakes on a Plane.
The song isn't too bad -- my son says, "It's a pretty good song, dad. It would be better with someone else singing it."
He's right.
But since it's already entered in the contest. Maybe you could go and vote for it and maybe someone else will record it and it'll be in that snakey movie in August.

Here's how to vote.

I had the opportunity to participate in a pre-press conference for bloggers from the United Church of Christ. It was a different experience being a part of "the press" for the conference. The blog entry just prior to this one give a rundown of the new commercial for the stillspeaking initiative and some of the new information surrounding it. I noticed on a blogsearch that and increasing number people are blogging about "Ejector Seat."

Yesterday I posted a new blog entry at i.ucc.org in the "open the Bible" section. It's about God's restoration to a people who are hopeless and still rejecting God. (Here's a repost -- it's no longer active on i.ucc)

I also recorded a couple more songs: The Wheels on the Bus (With a different role for the Daddies) and The Itsy Bitsy Spider. (with a surprise ending) I've almost completed all the songs I had scheduled to record while I was on sabbatical. Of course, the book writing hasn't gone along as well as I'd planned either. I'd better focus a little more on that over last week and a half!

I also had a "Why not?" creative moment last evening. There's been a bunch of buzz about a new movie scheduled to release in August called Snakes on a Plane. I went to their early website and saw a "Get you music featured on Snakes on a Plane" contest.

So I wrote a slightly cheesy hard rock song, recorded it and submitted it to the contest. You can listen to it and then vote (voting starts April 19th) for it as the best song. (Well, you should probably really think it is the best song, but I won't be picky if you want to vote for it because you like me, either.) The song is called "The Snakes are on the Plane."

I'm sure there's a theological discussion about the movie brewing.
