Time Square, Here I Come!

Well, for those of you who don't know, I signed up last week for the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship, where contestants had to enter a 3 minute video on why they should be the eighth and final competitor in their Guinness Record breaking championship in Time Square. The current record to break is 120 hours and the winner gets their name in Guinness, $10,000 and the golden popcorn trophy. I sent in a quick video of me doing my best impression of "me"(of which you can see here) and I guess they liked it! From Facebook:

I know! Totally exciting!!! This means that Netflix is sending me out to New York next Wednesday night, putting me up here, and Thursday morning at 10:30, I make my way out to a plexiglass box in the center of Time Square and start watching movies until I can't anymore. here are the facts that I know so far:

• Free catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
• 60 inch TV
• I can't take my eyes off the screen during the film
• I get a 10 minute break in between movies
• I'm allowed to pick 5 films to be added in the playlist (which I've already chosen)
• Possible celebrity drop-offs each day.

This is easily one of the most exciting things I've ever done, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm currently in some deep training with friends and family. First is endurance: I'm attempting to stay up from 10am Wednesday morning to Sunday morning when I get home from work. I'm currently approaching hour 20, and feeling good! Next training will be on focus, as I'm going to be in the busiest place on the planet and unable to take my eyes off of the screen! Feel free to stop by while I'm still in Time Square next week, provided I haven't passed out just yet. Lots of exciting things happening, and hopefully next time you hear from me, I'll have $10,000 in my pocket!!
