American Idol 2008 Tour

by Missy Ward

I checked out the American Idol 2008 tour last night at the St. Pete Times Forum. Of course, I got all stupid-giddy when David Cook got on stage and took an extra amount of photos of him.

Never have I seen so much Idol schwag in one place and folks were handing over a bundle of cashola for it. I searched the kiosks for the David Archleta earplugs, but none were to be found. That kid just irks me for some reason.

Aside from the lame Guitar Hero intermission, the show itself was good. Getting to watch Jason Castro sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was cool. And of course, every one of David Cook's songs were winners, including my personal Fav, “Hello”.

So all in all, it was worth all the laughs from my friends, when I told them I was going to see the show.

Check out the pics below.

Dress Me Up for Charity

by Missy Ward

First, I'd like to personally thank everyone that stopped by the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com table at the Meet Market in Boston to pick up their “I Gave Back” button and raffle ticket. (The winning numbers can be found on the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com site.)

I don't have a final total of what we raised because many of us sold buttons over the course of the 3 days and donations are still coming in. However, I think we will wind up around $1,500 or so! These donations will be divided up amongst the team members fund raising accounts, who staffed the table during the Meet Market.

I'd like to also thank all the folks who let me “persuade” them into purchasing more than one button and raffle ticket because “I didn't have change” 😉

The generosity of the Affiliate Marketing community has been overwhelming. We're well on our way to our $45,000 goal. Once these donations are applied to our fundraising account, we'll likely be close to $32,000!

That being said, we still have hurdle to jump in order to hit our target.

This Friday (August 22nd), our Team Shirts will be ordered. There is room for four additional sponsors and we'd love to add you! The cost to have your logo placed on our team's shirts and on the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com website is $1,000.

Donations can be made in any of your favorite walker's names here: www.60-milewalk.com. We'll be wearing the shirts during the event and will be taking lots of photos and videos that will be placed on the AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com site.

Lastly, as many of you know, when it comes to raising money for Breast Cancer Research, I'll do just about anything for donations.

In the spirit of that, I would be honored to wear any company's sticker, button, fairy wings, dunce cap, clown nose or whatever it is you'd want me to wear, for 1 day during the walk for a $250.00 donation in my name at http://www.Missys60MileWalk.com

The only thing that I ask, is that it is something that doesn't prevent me from walking 20 miles that particular day or cover up my team shirt.

So have some fun at my expense — it's for a good cause. And, I assure you, I will not hold it against you 😉

Thanks for everything!

Grupo Modelo Honors Connie Berg

by Missy Ward

Those in attendance at the AffiliateDinner honoring Connie Berg, this past Saturday in Boston were “treated” to a video appearance by the CEO of Grupo Modelo, live via Satellite.

The dinner guests in the back of the room that were unable to view the subtitles have requested that I post the video online, since either their Spanish was lousy (or maybe it was the CEO's accent) 😉

In any event, here it is. Hope you enjoy.
