Here's the much anticipated release of the 10,000 day video. A few notes:
The shortest I could get this thing was 15 1/2 minutes. My original cut was about 23 minutes, then I got it to 17, and finally to this version. The amount of footage I had to get through was enormous.
There were some great moments that I just couldn't get in. For example, I had a great time having various people throughout the day comment on Scriptures that mentioned the number 10,000, including an unforgettable moment from Mike Kern. I couldn't figure out a way to get those in. My hope is to put together a follow up clip with those 5 scenes.
Finally, I expect great things in the next few years from all my friends who are about to hit 10,000 days. If you've turned 27 within the last 4 months then it could be any day now!

The cinematography was excellent! I laughed histerically, I wept intensely, (I questioned whether the director was a complete nutcase)
Congratulations, Brad! You have managed to accomplish and exceed far beyond my expectations of what any normal person would do on their 10,000th day of being alive. I just hope Swiss Miss doesn't come after you for taking all their marshmallows. :)

P.S. I think I must have just had my 10,000th day in the past week or so, but I don't think it compared to yours. ;)

I loved it! Masterpiece Theater, right there, baby! The music choices...genius, of course, the Braveheart music was the best! (And I thought I was the only person that roasted tiny marshmallows over candles! The fun part is making s'mores out of them...yummy yummy!) I must know, how did you get cameras into those stores? That is so not legal! Great job - 10,000 applauses.

Your video was sent to me by my 40 something daughter who enjoyed it. I loved it and I am a 70 something great grandmother! Keep up the good work. I hope I am "with the Lord" when you do your 20,000 day one. Blessings
