    500 subscribers! This is incredible. Wow. (more gushing on the actual video)

    Time for a milestone giveaway. I think this giveaway is unique in the YouTube world. Maybe I’m wrong. Probably not though. I rarely am.

    One random winner will receive a package from me in the mail/post. How I go about accumulating the item or items in this package is the magic. The winner and myself will have a short, 20 min or so, Google+ Hangout where I will get to know the winner. I will then use this data to go on a shopping spree to find something special for the winner. NOTE: Shopping “spree” will likely take place at a second-hand shop/thrift shop/charity shop, as my hope is to find something cost-conscious but still interesting.

    The shopping excursion will be recorded, edited for maximum hilarity, and uploaded for all of YouTube to enjoy.

    But that’s not all. There will be a second-place winner who will also receive a package. However, this package will contain purchases made solely on what I learn by creeping through your publicly available internet profiles. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, I’ll use all of these methods to learn about you enough to hopefully find something special/probably weird.

    But the “That’s Not All” doesn’t end there. How do I choose this runner up, you ask? Well, I don’t. I will ask the 1st place winner how he/she found out about my channel. That person will be the runner up.

    To break it down for you, the more people you get to subscribe to my channel, the more chances you have of winning something.

    If the winner doesn’t remember exactly how they came to my channel, I will let the winner simply choose who they want to be the runner up.

    Rules:

    1. Must be a subscriber
    2. Must be over 18 years old
    3. Must favorite this video
    4. Must leave a comment on this video. Bonus points (not really) for suggestions for future videos.
    5. And of course you must be willing to Google Hangout with me, live, for one short session, and you must be okay with me mailing something to you.

    Status Starters:

    • I just had my mind blown by the best video I’ve seen in my entire life (also, I might win something). Watch it: http://youtu.be/7BGQPzeSRMY

  • 100 YouTube Subscriber Giveaway – Open Through September 30th

    100 YouTube Subscriber Giveaway – Open Through September 30th

    Click the image above to watch the video

    100 subscribers! It’s a milestone, to be sure. The first milestone of what I hope to be many, many more. Thank you to everyone who has subscribed (and will subscribe, after getting a whiff of what’s being given away to celebrate this 100 subscriber achievement).

    As a thank you to all subscribers of this book channel, I am giving away a one-of-a-kind, handmade, leather bound edition of Warmed and Bound, an anthology in which one of my stories appears. Warmed and Bound is a truly exceptional collection of dark, noir-inspired stories of sometimes dystopian, sometimes too-real-I-wish-it-were-dystopian fiction.

    Authors include: Matt Bell, Blake Butler, Vincent Louis Carrella, Craig Clevenger, Brian Evenson, Stephen Graham Jones, Bradley Sands, Paul Tremblay, me, and many, many more, including a forward from Steve Erickson! Click here to watch a video trailer promoting the original Warmed and Bound anthology.

    I warn you, I’m no professional book binder. In traditional homemade-Caleb fashion, this bound edition, though absolutely lovely, isn’t something you could sell on eBay for thousands of dollars, at least not until I’m dead…and not until shoddy craftsmanship goes for a premium on the black market for some reason.

    Rules:

    1. You MUST be a subscriber to my YouTube channel: https://calebjross.com/CalebjrossSubscribe
    2. You MUST leave at least one comment at YouTube on the video that announces this giveaway (linked via the image at the top of this post). Feel free to leave as many comments as you want—the more conversation the better—but know that you will only have one entry into the giveaway no matter how many comments you leave
    3. If you win the giveaway, you must be willing to send me your mailing address. Otherwise, how would you receive the amazing prize?

    More meta:

    1. Giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere in the world. I understand shipping costs may be crazy to some places, but I don’t care; I’ll just skip lunch for a few days.
    2. Must be at least 18 years old
    3. Giveaway is open for comments/submissions through September 30th

    YouTube gets a facelift. Subscribe to Laugh.

    Some of you might not know this, but I have a YouTube channel. A good one, at that. Well, good enough. Fewer of you might know that my last two videos look much different than all previous videos (I could use cool terms like gamma correction, rack focus, white balance, and adequate lighting, but I won’t). Fewer still might know that just yesterday I gave the channel a bit of a facelift.

    While a visual update to a YouTube channel probably doesn’t constitute a blog post, it does, when paired with the aforementioned news of the new videos, mean that I can sneak by with a legitimate announcement.

    So:
