It's finally here. Our long-awaited album "Old Time Gospel Songs, Vol. 1" has arrived. Doran picked them up at the Greyhound bus station last evening (long story) and we're going to have it on the product table this weekend.As promised, one of my loyal readers will be receiving a free CD. I had envisioned an elaborate contest, making the winner really sweat to walk away with the prize. However, after discussion with several readers and a little thought (not a whole lot, really) I've decided to keep it simple. Here's how it's going to work: for the next few days, actually a week, I'm going to accept entries for the CD. The cut-off date and time for accepted entries will be Thursday, Sept. 21 at 11:59 PM (MST). Here's what must be included in the entry (an entry can be made only by leaving a comment to this post):
First and last name
The title and date of your favorite post
How you found out about keithinside
That's it. I will then copy and paste all of the names into Word, print them out, and then put them on several slips of paper. I will put all of the slips of paper into a hat, have Trey put on his Lone Ranger mask (which does nothing but add to the drama), and pull out a slip of paper. The person whose name is on the slip of paper will be the winner. To validate our selection, I will have Lori videotape the ceremony and will post it on keithinside. The integrity of this process is vital, I know.
Once a winner has been selected and named, the person can claim the CD by e-mailing their mailing address to waggoner_keith@hotmail.com.
If you have never commented before on this site and aren't quite sure how to go about it, feel free to ask for help at waggoner_keith@hotmail.com.
Enjoy!

Hi Keith,
The contest is a great idea!!!

I'm fairly new to your site but loved the Alaskan pictures on "The Sights" posted August 3rd.
My friend Ellen told me about your site!
This is a nail-biter. Even if I don't win, go ahead and send me a free one, ok? I don't deal well with losing.
Favorite Post: "Grace Bible Church Worship Orders for 8/28"
I read your blog frequently. I guess I found out about your blog through Joel Byer's, but I can't remember for sure.
My favorite post is "Win the new Liberty CD!!!" from Friday September 15. :-)

Favorite post: Keith's blue/black/green...swollen foot-2/12/06 (I did not chose this because I enjoy seeing other people in pain, but rather it cracked me up to think you would take a picture of your own ugly foot! You do have to admit, that picture would not have gotten you a job at Dr. Scholl's as a Foot Model!)
How I found out about keithinside: I believe you walked into my office at GCA/GBC and said, "Hey, Sheila, you should read my blog on keithinside...." The rest is history.
If I do not win this, I will be happy to purchase one.
I hate to beg but uuuhhhh... pick me, pick me.

Heard about your blog from Jon Plank.
How do I pick a favorite post? I liked the one when Claude Hopper thought you were Phil Cross.
Oh and a big Hoo-dey and Go Buckeyes!

Wow, I want to vote for the 2-12-06 picture of your foot, but I see that has already been voted for.
Sooo, maybe I will vote for my second favorite of 08-29-05, the picture/post of "First Day, Done". I think that really captures the real you. It was a toss-up between that and the 11-16-05 "From the Archives"-- "A Man and his Couch"
Anyway, I found out about your blog because you e-mailed me with the address.

well, it's kinda a long story. but here it goes; so there i was, sitting in my computer room when i saw a piece of paper with your website written on it. i starred at it a minute or two in disbelief with one eyebrow raised. then i said "hello, what's this?" mind you i said this with a british accent. then i got on the internet and went to the website and have been making sarcastic comments since. the end.
It's good to know we can trust the integrity of this fabulous contest!

I found your site when I was on a different computer trying to find the AYC website...your name popped up on the google list and ever since I've enjoyed reading your many opinions and happenings. (And seriously, you're a good writer.)Congrats on the new CD....ya'll sound good!
Can't wait to get mine. By the way mine is a freebe, & I didn't even enter the contest!! I guess I have invested stock in the tenor, at least.
Great contest!

I came to your site to find out the winners in the NQC fan awards, so I guess that would be my favorite post. Thursday Sept. 14,2006
I found out about it through Aaron McCarty's blog site.
Hey Keith:I guess its rough when your relatives have to enter a contest to get to hear you sing.
Favorite Post: Your personal comments about this year's NQC.
Have a great day.
Go Phillies!!

Um, I heard about your blog while doing research in Antartica. A penguin told me.
I desparately need this CD, because my children are starving, I have no job, and my cardboard box is not waterproof.
Hope this guilt trip moves me to the front of the line
My favourite post might be that bruised and swollen foot...that was definitely a classic

I found out about KeithInside when my friend Keith emailed me the link.
Now Keith you and I go back a long way. Don't forget I helped you get to where you are today. If you could make it singing with me you can sing with anyone! So don't forget your old quartet buddy. :-)

Favorite Post: Well I have tons of fav's I think, but I gonna have to pick "The Sights" great pics! hehe. August 3rd.
And you told us in one of our youth group lessons along time ago. I've been a fan ever since! hehe
I hate to be deleted from the contest because of not stating how I found out about your blog...just let me say you are my absolute favorite brother-in-law on the Fredrick side of the family and it's because of you -- only you mind you -- that I check this site!

I shared it with my coworkers and we all got a good laugh.
I don't remember how I found out about your blog. I don't remember alot of things. I have a 1 year old. Does that tell you anything?
Hey Keith,
This is Beth Glass, married to your cousin Jeremy.
I liked the "Bronco Fever" post on Sept 6, because it shows Doran with a crazy face.(Doran is married to my cousin Diane) Small world Huh?
I forgot to add that I learned about your blog from Carrie
Hi Keith,
My name is Sherry Briggs.
Favorite Post was "More Pics" on Sept 15
I heard about your site through the Glass Family..Thanks!
Hi
Name:Beth Yoder
I found your site by reading angie Davis and going from one blog to another.
Love the "good wife's guide" :)
I have 4 boys, 1 girl and the reason I think I need the CD is all I every listen to is veggie tales!!!!
Hey Keith,
I have the perfect way to get the CD. First of all, my favorite post was also the one of the foot. Not the one that you showed, but the one you haven't mentioned yet about your grandma driving over it when you were younger. Second, I didn't want to pull the family card, but after the ping pong table in your back yard fell on my finger, I think you owe me one. Third, with my wife, Beth, being related to Doran, I could threaten to "incapacitate" Doran with the dreaded "wet willy" if you don't meet my demands. I'll be waiting for your announcement that I'm the winner.
Your cousin "ahem",
Jeremy
Travis Johnson
Paul Fry told me about it.
My fav. post (I don't remember the name of it) is the one where you described the smell that comes from the quartet van when you hit the seat.
(Remember that Mexican restaurant in Ft. Wayne?)
Well since I see all sorts of family trying to be the lucky winner I might as well try. People from all over have been calling and e-mailing, telling me they love their CD and asking me how I like it. I tell them I don't have one because I'm just the booking agent. Now there is a reason to PICK ME! Shanna
Hey Keith I enjoy reading your blog. I found it off of my brother Joel's blog. My favorite post is Win the new Liberty cd from Friday Sep 15. Luke Byer Is the last and winning entry (hopefully).
Great contest! My favorite has to be the 100 mph in the bus. Found ya through BBB blog.
