U2 & David OReilly Great Animated Video

David O'Reilly directed/animated this video for the U2 single "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight." Love the style of animation, all the detail to every movement and subtle panning. Visually awesome. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Day After Eid

Wow, yesterday was a bit crazy. And I'm not even talking about the 300+ people that showed up at the Eid party. Lots of food, lots of family, lots of friends, and lots of kids. My ears were ringing as I went to bed from the amount of noise in the house. Of course, what was crazier than the party was the number of Twitter entries for yesterday's Take-My-Eid-Money contest. I'll have to do some accounting and feed it into the secret Winner-Picker very soon. Right now...I'm so exhausted, I woke up early. If that makes any sense. Thanks for everyone that entered! Remember, the September giveaway is still going strong, so remember to check it out a couple posts below.

I leave you today with this one picture from yesterday's party. Yes, the kids had a moon bounce for the day. How cool is that? :)

Eid Mubarak! Win My Eid Money

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating today around the world!

When I was wee lad, we used to get Eid-E money as Eid Gifts...Yes, cash! A kid could stand to make $50 to $100 in one day! It was great...except when you got overlooked by some cheap uncle or aunt. Friends of your parents would stop by and you would anxiously wait for them to call you over so you could collect. I would make my way all the way to the door with my little brother (for cute purposes) as they were leaving, pretending to be a good host to walk them out, in hopes they would remember they had a certain obligation. When they left me empty handed, I would close the front door, run to my mom with my brother in tow to report how cheap her friends were and demand they be banished from all future visits.


In celebration of Eid, I'm going to give an Eid-E gift to 5 lucky people today only! If you win, your Eid-E cash will be sent to you via Paypal or Mail, whichever you prefer. You may enter today as many times as you want, up to midnight tonight, in order to increase your chances of winning!

Simple Explanation: There are $100 in the pot. Five entries will be drawn. It could be someone with multiple entries or five different people. So anywhere between 1 to 5 people will win.

How to Enter:
1. Follow me on Twitter, if you aren't already - http://twitter.com/asimsoofi
2. Paste the following message into your status:

RT Eid Mubarak! Win @asimsoofi's Eid Money ★ Up to $100 - 5 Winners ★ Just follow @asimsoofi and RT this msg! Details http://bit.ly/jccS9

You may enter as many times as you wish by updating your Twitter status multiple times, but only up to midnight tonight (09/20/09). One RT counts as one entry. Winners wil be notified via Direct Message (DM). Contest ends 09/20/09 at midnight. U.S. residents only.

Good luck & Eid Mubarak!

Just for the Grooms: The Proposal

The proposal is such a huge deal and guys go out of their way to plan it perfectly. Some keep it simple, and some get the entire family & friends involved in a complex plan leading up to the big question.

So I wanted to reach out to any guys that are thinking of proposing to some lucky girl. You guys get forgotten during the whole wedding planning, so I want to help you out a bit. I will be giving away at least 3 completely FREE shoots to capture the proposal.

So if you are planning a surprise proposal, I want to hear about it. It doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to be small....As long as it's a surprise and REAL! I will giveaway 3 shoots where I will capture her first reactions as you get down on you knees to ask her the big question.

I'll shoot anywhere, anytime...schedule permitting of course. If I have to travel outside the local Washington/Baltimore area, those expenses would have to be covered. That's the only catch. Otherwise, just drop me an email at info AT asimsoofi.com telling me what you have planned and I'll pick the first 3 that catch my eye. Contest ends when 3 winners are picked.

Remember to include:
-Full Name
-Phone Number
-Proposal Time Frame
-The Proposal

Good luck!
