This year, John and Laura spent the day with Jim (John's best friend from college) and Abby (Jim's girlfriend) from Atlanta. Sara (Laura's best friend) from Murfressboro, and long time best friend Chris were also in attendance. We watch the parade from Chris's yard, and then hit the carnival.<br /><br />Jason and Stacy were also in attendance, but were mysteriously never captured on film.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4272365269450702746-5380167688260191416?l=www.videobestfriends.com'/></div>John Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18233131744645188986noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272365269450702746.post-24207005354188269152008-02-27T16:38:00.004-05:002008-02-28T00:38:46.648-05:00VideoBestFriends Episode 8: New Year's Extravaganza!<object width="480" height="392" data="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf?mediaId=707285&affiliateId=38028" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="revvervideoa17743d6aebf486ece24053f35e1aa23"><param name="Movie" value="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf?mediaId=707285&affiliateId=38028"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="allowFullScreen=true&backColor=#000000&frontColor=#FFFFFF&gradColor=#000000&shareUrl=videoApiUrl"></param><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf?mediaId=707285&affiliateId=38028" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="allowFullScreen=true&backColor=#000000&frontColor=#FFFFFF&gradColor=#000000&shareUrl=videoApiUrl" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="392"></embed></object><br />It is the much anticipated, and long over due next installment of VideoBestFriends! And this one is almost timely!<br /><br />Jason and John, with girlfriend Stacy and wife Laura respectively, journey to the frozen north of Chicago to spend New Year's Eve with Tony and his fiancee Coty. Topics covered: Effingham Cross (real answer:"www.crossusa.org" not "crossamerica.org". Vaginal qualities of "Flarp". Is the Sears Tower the tallest building in America? Neat toy stores (www.rotofugi.com), stinky cabs, and being drunk in public. Why does everyone pick the nose of the large art installations? How long is the walk from Millenium Park to Navy Pier? Awesome fireworks and more!<br /><br />Links of interest: <a href="http://www.crossusa.org/">www.crossusa.org</a>, <a href="http://www.rotofugi.com/">www.rotofugi.com</a><br /><br />Additional higher quality mpg4 version downloadable here: <a href="http://www.videobestfriends/hostedvids/vbf8.mp4">HiQuality</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4272365269450702746-2420700535418826915?l=www.videobestfriends.com'/></div>John Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18233131744645188986noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272365269450702746.post-75159777803444891052008-01-29T15:02:00.000-05:002008-01-29T15:54:26.507-05:00VideoBestFriends Episode 7: Hangin' with HillaryHillary Clinton at TSU?

I'm in the wedding, Dan's the best man and it happens in three weeks...in CANADA. British Columbia, the OTHER SIDE OF this continent. Anyways, Dan started a new job and was slacking on getting measured for his tux. I made it my personal mission to harass him into submission or an aneurysm. He got measured yesterday, so we're safe. No one has to be odd man out and ruin a wedding. YAY!<br />Special thanks to Colleen for not freaking out and to Chris Mitchell for our first failed attempt at this.<br /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="noScale" salign="TL" bgcolor="#000000" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="mediaId=408818&affiliateId=38028&allowFullScreen=true" allowfullscreen="true" height="392" width="480"></embed><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4272365269450702746-7477922633981894889?l=www.videobestfriends.com'/></div>jwb3http://www.blogger.com/profile/15002327156429816557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272365269450702746.post-659131333988636642007-09-18T10:26:00.000-04:002007-09-18T11:55:53.420-04:00VideoBestFriends Episode 5: 4th of July in Chicago<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab " height="248" width="328"><br /><param name="SRC" value="http://www.videobestfriends.com/hostedvids/vbf5.mov"><br /><param name="AUTOPLAY" value="false"><br /><param name="CONTROLLER" value="true"><br /><embed src="http://www.videobestfriends.com/hostedvids/vbf5.mov" autoplay="false" controller="true" pluginspage=" http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" height="248" width="328"></embed><br /><br /></object><br />I hope you’re all wearing rubber underwear because you’re going to need it after this gem.

This is a clip of John and I running around California Adventure sans that AWESOME FERRIS WHEEL. The highlight is probably when we get in trouble for filming on the Tower of Terror. Be warned, there is some first person roller coaster action in this, which caused some viewers vertigo.<br /><br />We have tons of this California footage! Venice Beach, Santa Monica, Homeless Fun!
