Posts I would read...



In every promotional video for Avatar (with Wolves) there was a clip of James Cameron saying "now, that's a film (Avatar) I would want to see".

So, here are some ideas (hint, hint) for posts I would like to read. I know I have tried this before with little success, but here goes:

1. A fictional/non-fictional creative story written by Jude.

2. A new series from Mom called When They Were Two about her children's tumultuous passage through the "Terrible Twos"

3. Music reviews from Stephen and Jill (what are you listening to, and why? Also, do you know how to write? --- let me know what your email address is and I can send you an invite to be a writer on this blog. This goes for Pop [who may still hate blogs], Jess, Emily, William, Jude and anyone else who doesn't already have an account on the Crum Family Blog)

4. A new serial story from Jon. I would give you a topic (and will if you need one), but I think you can come up with something.

5. New pictures from William. Will, do you still mostly do pencil or ink or have you branched into other medias?

6. A video from Matt of him and Chipper having a "Trick Dog Battle" --- kind of like playing H.O.R.S.E. but with... dog tricks... or something.

7. One of those famous and amusing letters that Edwardo used to send to Peter about his comical trip to Patagonia.

8. Something 'artsy-fartsy' from Nate. You know, like art stuff. Maybe a post-modernistic portrait of the Avett Brothers (acrylic on sand paper using only white and black and red paints).

9. Jesse, a list of words that you would like Matt to teach you how to say.

10. Something sarcastic from Jess...

These are just a few ideas. If someone can get Thomas or David to post, that would be amazing. Actually, if anyone can get anyone to post, that would be amazing...

As an incentive, each post you make gets you 10 points and each comment* on your post earns you an additional 1 point. The winner will be announced on June 1st. Any other ideas, let's see 'um!

*Self-comments will not be counted.

I think that this is a great challenge, and as soon as Edwardo gives his consent I'll post some scans of those letters. Also, since Ben posted this blog, even though he's busy doing the Tuesday music post, I thought I should throw out an idea... My opinion is that Ben should take the best of the best of our blog over the past few years (and some of the stuff the rest of you all posted) and make a sort of Flash montage that would be so catchy as to hook anyone who sees it into never leaving this site again. I have taken off my makeup, now let's see if you can take off yours.

Do we get a point for posting a comment or only for the comments posted by others?
