And (hopefully) twice, unfortunately.

I have been in a photo contest for what feels like eternity on yobi.tv, it’s for a prize of $10,000 and a trip to NYC. I have now made it to the top three and the final two weeks thanks to the votes of wonderful folk such as yourself. One person gets eliminated per week, so one of the three will be knocked out Sunday night, then votes are reset for the next week (so I need a new vote after Sunday!).

So please, vote for my photograph by going to the following link: http://yobi.tv/yobipics/finalists/view/44

The photograph you are voting for is one I did in the Salt Flats in Utah last summer on my long Warped Tour road trip:

Keaton Andrew Salt Flats

Had a few days of not many things to document. We’re in Terre Haute or something right now, western Indiana. Tour is fun, been hanging out with the Nineball and Leo guys. The photo with the pac-man chip is Joe(y) of Nineball.

Swung by Izzo’s after doing a shoot in Baton Rouge. Being a firm believer in Chipotle and their amazing burritos, I have to try any and all competitors to see how they stack up (the whole huge, custom assembly line burrito thing). Qdoba, for example, fails horribly and doesn’t even come close.

If Izzo’s made fresh sour cream, I would say that they’re better than Chipotle… but they don’t. Either way, Izzo’s is different than chipotle and in a good way, so you should go to it if you’re nearby

It looks like I’m going to be pretty busy this year. Here’s my tentative schedule for 2009:

Jan. 17th-Jan. 19th: Nashville, TN

Jan. 20th-Jan. 21st: Northern FL:

Jan. 22nd-Jan. 26th: Orlando, FL

Jan. 27th-31st: Georgia

Feb. 1st-2nd: Memphis, TN

May/June of 08: I’m doing this photo tour thing, trying to book shoots all around the country. It’s basically in every state on the border of the country and no others, the perimeter of the country.

June 29-July 4th: Cornerstone Festival (Illinois)

July 8th-July 29th: I SHOULD be on Warped Tour during these dates (still working on what band my ride’s going to be).

Jul 12 – Hartford, Connecticut
Jul 14 – Washington, Washington DC
Jul 15 – Buffalo, New York
Jul 16 – Scranton, Pennsylvania
Jul 17 – Camden, New Jersey

I’m also considering possibly going for the rest of Warped towards the end of August as well, which would take me out to the west coast. I’m not sure about that yet, though.

If I’m going to be in your area, you better say hey! I love meeting new people.
