Road Warriors Live

I hate to ask, but we could use a quick favor.

I just found out that we are finalists in a contest for the streaming video service we are using.

If you like what we’ve been doing and would like to see more we could really use a vote in this contest.  The way it looks right now we’re in the running for the top three, but I know you can take us to number one.

So here’s the deal go to www.seero.com/contest.php and vote for RoadWarriors.  I think you will have to create an account, but it only takes a couple seconds and they don’t ask for too much information.  All they want is a username, password and e-mail address.

It will really help us out and let us know that you would like to see more streaming video.

If everything works out as planned.  We should be taking a long trip, with lots of video at the end of the month.  The problem that were running into is that my five-year-old has T-ball until the end of June.  And I have taken a trip to California mid-June.

If it wasn’t for the prior commitments we’d already be on the road and taking advantage of the gas prices while they are still low.  I know, we think that gas prices are high now, but from what I’m hearing the experts are saying that they’re going to be a lot higher by the end of the summer.

As soon as we have something definite for a destination I will post it on the calendar.

Even though we will not be going on an extended trip this month.  Stay tuned for some weekend video streaming from some of the festivals going on in the area.  We might be able to get to something today, depending on the weather from the bluesfest held in downtown Chicago.

In the meantime, if you could go to www.seero.com/contest.php and give us a quick vote, we would really appreciate it. 

Stay tuned for video today weather permitting.

Thanks,
Steve

I was going to keep this a secret until we were on the road but after reading one of the comments here (the only one) I thought maybe I should let you know a little early.

The question came up on why you should subscribe to get exclusive trip updates.

I know when I hit a Blog or website everyone seems to want my e-mail address to sell me something.  I almost never give out that information anymore or I use an account that goes straight into the trash. 

I never understand why someone tries to get my e-mail for one reason and then sends me something I did not want or need. The problem is so bad that when I am on the road my Cell Phone is flooded with so much Spam I spend at least 30-60 minutes a day trying to delete it all. 

We have had websites on the Internet for over 10 years. We have always been careful about the e-mail we send out.  One of the first questions we ask is:
Is this useful or can we just let you know the next time you come back to visit the site?

If it’s not useful or timely we just don’t send it out.  Rest assured if you get an e-mail from us it’s either a Blog Post or information you want/need.  We NEVER give your information to ANYONE!!!  We have seen websites do that and it’s one of the reasons we ALL get so much spam.  We treat e-mail addresses just like we treat our own credit card numbers.  Keep them under lock and key until you need them and then put them right back when your done.

Sorry for getting on the soapbox but I am really sick of junk e-mail and websites lying about what they will do with your information.

So what makes us so different?  Why should you send us your info after everything I just said?  Well if you want trip updates, special event notices, and some free stuff then it’s a no-brainer.

1. You will only get updates on what’s going on here plus special notifications about Live Broadcast Events, and Contests.  We keep pushing the envelope on fresh new content and delivering it to you in ways that have never been done before. 

Just to give you an idea of how fast things change around here.  When we first started this site it was just a way for our family and friends to track us via GPS as we traveled across the country.  Now we have Live Streaming Trip Cameras, Remote Live Broadcasting, and by the end of March there will episodes on the Travel Channel. 

The best thing is we are just getting started. As comments, questions, and polls come in we will be adding new stuff everyday.
2. You Get a Chance to Win Stuff.
When you go on a Road Trip there is always that one Souvenir that you just have to have.  There is no reason why you should not be able to get it as you Ride Shotgun with us. 

We will be giving away souvenirs at random to anyone that has subscribed for trip updates.  We will also be giving them away  to anyone that posts a comment so make sure we can contact you if you do post.

Some might call it bribery.  I just call it encouraging discussion and participation.

So get the updates and get some free stuff in the process.

Make sure you use an e-mail that you check daily.  We will need to ask you some questions so we can get you something that is special for you. We want to make sure that this is not a Souvenir that will end up in the garage gathering dust.

Bill W. is the person that posted the comment that started me on this whole topic. He is our first lucky winner of a Road Trip Souvenir.  I would tell you what he is getting but I want to let him do that after he gets it.

Sorry about the link but I also need to verify something for Technorati.
