TV BABY!

This is the what's Up Hamilton Interview with Linda Rourke. Just look at the luggage under my eyes. Kevin looks great, I look old. But hey! We got on TV! and that has to count for something.

Rest

OK Folks, after 11:59 tonight you can take a rest. You have all been rock solid this entire time and we can NOT possibly thank you for all the support, well wishes, and dedication. It's been not only surprising but heart warming to know that you all have our back so completely. If we make it through to the next round on Tuesday it's full speed ahead. Team Kevki will be hence forth known as the ARMY OF KEVKI! So troops, rest up... we may be calling you to battle.

Love you all!

Kevin and Kim

I still have plenty to talk about in the mean time so tune in, i'll still be blogging. xo

Implotion

This is getting insane. My head is likely about to implode. I'm not a competitive person! I don't know where I am getting the energy and the drive to do this. Would you believe me if I told you I spend at least 6 hours a day on the computer promoting the hell out of this competition and Kevki not to mention the other 2-4 hours spent on painting lawns, cars, posters, and just running around.

There are moments when I have to stop myself and think " did I eat today? Was I wearing this t-shirt when I went to bed last night?" Poor Jackson just crawls around my desk chair bringing me objects he locates on the ground that he finds exhilarating. There are days when I start to lose my head over how much time is being taken away from him for this endeavour. And then I watch him playing contently with my paintbrushes as he rams them into the floor register and giggles to himself and realize he's become very self sufficient rather then clingy like he once was and that is a great thing. He makes sure that I take a break every 10 minutes for some - chase the dog with a paintbrush time, of course.

I get lovely e-mail pep talks from Kevin after he's come home from a long day at work. And then there are the super fans like Crystal, Tami, and Jylian who harass every poor sap they know and DON'T know in order to get Team Kevki more support. They motivate the exhaustion out of me! If they can spend hours a day campaigning for us without the promise of a prize at the end then I sure as HELL can run myself into the ground for this worthy goal. And then there are of course all the other dedicated and loyal friends and supporters. This whole thing has blown my mind. There are so many people out there that have been solid from day one working on keeping us at #1. Complete strangers e-mail me to tell me the promotional ideas they have for us and what they have been doing to keep us on top. The comradely that has come out of this is worth it alone. That all being said I'm sure you all would like to know what we have been up to. Well... take a look:

We met up with Mike Tyler of 97.7 HTZ-FM to talk about the Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash!

Linda Rourke of Cable 14 Hamilton Life did a short interview with us for the What's UP Hamilton show which will be followed up with a spot on the Hamilton Life program. The What's up spot will show sporadically through out the day from Wednesday until Friday and again Next week. We'll let you know when we get the clip up for your viewing pleasure.

Shiona Thompson of AM900 CHML and the Morning Distraction has asked us to come in for 8:00 Friday morning to talk about our adventures in the contest thus far. We will of course post that interview as well when it becomes available to us.

We painted our car, will be painting the van, as well as friends vehicles.

There are now adds for our possible wedding in Kijiji and we have two videos of Team Kevki being hosted on the front web page of MyHammer.ca and SO much more but I'm tired. And I need a nap now.

Love you all!

It's All in Who you Know

Connections, connections, connections! I can't lie, it's really nice knowing the right people. It just so happens that the right people, or person in this case is my future sister in law. That's right, my sister in law to be just so happens to have a career in Personal Relations and well, she's connected. So what did the sister in law do for her brother and I? Well not much really, just a little PRESS RELEASE that was sent to every local media, encompassing print, broadcast and online media sources. That's all. Nothing major. Ha ha ha! I love it! Thank you ANN!

And guess what!? Mountain News, Cable 14 and CHCH TV and radio station Y108 have responded with interest.

So if you want to help give them a little bit of a shove feel free to write them and let them know that team Kevki needs their help. How amazing would it be to have our home town backing us up and taking part in helping to create our Happily Ever After!?

Attention Hogs

It's hard not to attract attention when you are amongst a mob of 32 excitable people adorned with white Carlsberg - Vote Team Kevki t-shirts, Carlsberg tattoos, self inking stamps to brand every unsuspecting passerby, all lead by a woman in a wild Carlsberg green mohawk (that would be me). Team Kevki took it to the streets last night and let everyone they passed know that they are a team who is not going to except anything less then a giant $100,000 Carlsberg party when this is all said and done.

It was a long and eventful night full of self promotion, Carlsberg promotion, Carlsberg consumption, poster pushing, body stamping, Carlsberg consumption, dancing, Kevki chanting, Carlsberg consumption, photo ops, oh and more Carlsberg consumption. All in all it was a very eventful and successful evening. Actually it was fantastic. I'd do it all again in a heart beat. Some people MAY have gotten a teensy bit carried away with the body stamping... ahem... Kevin, not mentioning any names. We all made new friends and new team members.

The Pheasant Plucker let us get up on the mic and tell the crowd about the Carlsberg Big Wedding Bash, the Aout'n About Pub gave us Carlsberg England soccer Jerseys, and we met up with Tomi Swick! Wait until you see the video of what he thinks of Team Kevki. ;) If nothing else, last night was a great night among good friends, new friends and memories to talk about for times to come. Thanks to everyone of you who came out and those of you who wished you could but couldn't. If we make it to round two you can count on another night of bonding mayhem!

Come One Come All

Sitting at home on a Saturday night? Nothing to do? Board?! Come out with Team Kevki to the Augusta Street Festival! We're going to paint the town Carlsberg green and have ourselves some fun and a whole lotta beer! We're meeting at Galleghers for around 9:30. So join us for a cold Carlsberg! Can't wait!

Curb Appeal

So I don't know what you have all been up to for the past day or two but I've been making signs. You know, the kind that people put up on their front lawns during an election. Only I took it a step further. What do you think?

* Our love for Carlsberg is so eternal that we convinced our friends to let us paint the Carlsberg logo on their front lawns. Not bad eh?
