Diary of a Washed Up Rock Star Wedding Photographer - Episode 1
Well it’s here. The premiere you’ve all been waiting for. Episode 1 of “Diary of a Washed Up Rock Star Wedding Photographer.” In the episode, Skip learns that his abysmal ratings from last year’s award show means WPPI has to bring back Joe Photo and Michele Celentano to host. Joe in his despair has ended up in a dead-end job.
Spread the Love and Gain Free Admission to WPPI 2009
WPPI has come up with an incredible offer to those of you willing to share this hilarious series. Anyone who posts this or episode 2 on their blog or website will gain free admission to WPPI 2009. No, that’s not a typo. You’ll gain FREE admission to next year’s convention and tradeshow. And it’s going to be the biggest one ever. It will be the first year WPPI will be at the MGM grand. It’s going to be huge!
But wait…there’s more! Whichever posted set of videos (for both episodes 1 and 2) gets the most unique views, that person will get FIVE FREE ADMISSIONS to WPPI 2009. That’s right. You and four of your friends will be able to get into the largest wedding and portrait convention and expo absolutely free of charge.
HOW TO POST
Posting is easy. In any video player for an episode, click on the “embed this video” icon (it’s the second one in the bottom right-hand corder of the player). Select the “embed” tab, copy the code, then past into your blog or website. It’s that easy. Then share your blog post with your friends and colleagues. We’ll be monitoring the views from each posted video. If your total views for both episodes 1 and 2 rack up the most unique views, you and four friends get free admission. Note: watching the videos over and over on your computer won’t work. So don’t try to cheat. We’ll know if they’re legitimate unique views.
What better way to spread the word of WPPI and spread some laughter at the same time. Don’t you just feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it?!

Those pictures at the beginning were fantastic (was that Bob Davis paparazzi'ing you??).
Even without the writer's strike, this would be emmy worthy. You're so money.
