On February 3rd I’m going to catch a plane and fly over to LA. I should arrive in the  later afternoon. Don’t know if I’m bushed and go to bed early or have enough energy to roam around the hotel.

I’m still waiting for the Universe to deliver a room mate at the convention hotel. It’ll be easier and definitely more fun. Beside I want to order some of the chocolate and cookies and carrying them back and forth would be a drag.

Anyway, I hope to meet lots of new friends. I already know several of my Weekly Chakram subscribers will be there. We just have to find a way to meet and recognize each other Maybe I just give everybody my business card then they should recognize me by my name LOL Last time in London someone did and was in awe like I was a celebrity. That felt nice though.

So, three days full with Xena, Xenites, lovely gals … that’s going to be so great! No Lucy concert though and she’s only there for one day. But I hope I can give her and Renée,  Hudson, Steven and Sharon their presents.

And guess what they are gonna get? Yes! Healthy chocolate. I am going to order some of the products that we here in Europe don’t have yet. The cookies and the protein bars and of course Xe the healthy energy drink.

They said on the website where the info about the con is that they do accept gifts but not during the photo ops because of security reasons (hu?) and that they cannot take the gifts with them because most of them will fly back. Good thing my gifts are edible LOL

On Monday I’m flying to  Phoenix Arizona where I - hopefully - can stay with a friend. She’s a former teacher of mine. I’m looking forward to spending a week with her and her kids. Of course since this part of the trip is business I’m going to talk to people about Xe and Xoçai and invite them to the launch.

And in case I’m running around all week I want to reserve Sunday for my friend and Phoenix because on Monday I will fly to Orlando Florida. Don’t have a place to stay yet but I’m sure there are Xenites from Orlando at the Con or Xenites who couldn’t make it. I bet they want to see the photos and movies I’m making with my new pre-birthday present. And I’ll bring chocolate …

The weekend after the launch in Phoenix there is another launch in Orlando and I wanna be at both. Inviting everybody to come and experience it.

Never been to a launch but I think it’s gonna be fab.

Oh, lunch is ready. I hope I can update my blog on the trip. I have my eye on an inexpensive, small and very light notebook. Should I go for it?

I have now over 500 views to my Xe contest video. That makes around 50 per day. Not bad! Thanks to all my internet, twitter, skype, facebook, email and myspace friends.

Thanks for watching and clicking on the link in the video

Last year in December MXI, the healthy chocolate company (Xoçai) announced a video contest and since I was in the middle of a video marketing course I immediately jumped at this idea!

I created a video, then I did another one. And out came a third one, and that’s the one I sent in for approval. It got approved and on January 1st, 12.20 am Youtube time it was uploaded. And I started immediately driving traffic to it.

I sent a little Skype graffiti with the link to a New Year Video (you can find it here, too) to everybody who was online in Skype and in my contact list. That was quit a lot and I was busy most of that morning.

Then emailed the link to all my email contacts (not that many) and most people are on holiday leave so I got an email back with that message

My friend Sue sent the link of the contest video to her friends, too.

And I watched New Year’s Videos and ABBA Videos all afternoon, commenting, and rating. That was fun!

On Sunday, 2nd of January I sent a Happy New Year tweet to all my followers.

And I got around 76 views within the first day or so and a couple of comments.

I’m sure you want to watch it now. Because the views only count on Youtube I don’t put it in here. So please click HERE. And if you feel like it, rate and comment on it.

Thanks a lot for viewing the video and reading me.
