Last week, my pal Nelson Starr asked me to help him make a short video to enter the Travel Channel's "Travel with Tony" contest for Anthony Bourdian's No Reservations.
I had the three-course lunch of a lifetime as we hit Ted's Hot Dogs, Anchor Bar, and Ulrich's Tavern all in the course of about 90 minutes during a raging blizzard.
Nelson, who is a big fan of the show, wrote the script, composed the original music and we whacked it up together to create a 3-minute piece.
We submitted the final cut last night and just heard that we made the Top 20 out of over 300 submissions. You can watch it here - leave a comment and give it a rating - and tell Tony to get to Buffalo!
Wow, hello I just found you...been watching a No Reservations marathon today and finally went to the website and found your creation. Your video was great but I'm especially glad it brought me here--I've been on the prowl for people I can sort of identify as having the type of career I'd love. I blog about my adventures as a singer/songwriter/videomaker, which are really only beginning. Its so great to discover you!
