So before you freak out, this is not footage from the 2007 Hospitality Suite, but it is my video entry for... the 2008 At Home Dad's Sacramento Convention Music Video with Ukuleles and Singing Stuff Contest, Yes, a contest for the best promotional video for the upcoming convention. As last years winner, and only contestant, I am anxious to see what everyone comes up with, so get to workin' because the cut off date for entry into the AHDSCMVwUaSSC is some time in the future!!! What do you win, you might ask? Well besides the respect, and unending clamoring for tales of how you found enough time to make a video, you might get a secret prize, one point at athomedad.org for posting a link to your video and maybe a visit from child services. Do you have to have Ukuleles and Singing Stuff? No, but I think it makes it full of the awesome!! So enter AHDSCMVwUaSSC today, You won't be sorry!!! db, on his way to half a "K" Here is my Video...
Convention Video!!!!
That is absolutely awesome. I can't stop laughing!!!!!!
One problem. They just released the 08-09 hockey schedule, and there aren't any Thursday games. Only Friday, right during the meet & greet time frame. I'm going to have to see what else we can come up with.
AWESOME JOB!!!!!
That was awesome. Fire away with the links, uke.

Great job!
I don’t play an instrument and can’t carry a tune so all I can offer is the words to an at-home dad song I wrote to a Rolling Stone’s tune “Sympathy for the Devil.” I posted it below. Looking forward to seeing you guys at the convention.
Keep On Daddying,
Empathy For The At-Home Dad
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a dad of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a short, short time
Broke many a mom’s trust and rules
And I’ve been home since my wife
Had her moment of labor and pains
Made damn sure she
Went to work and sealed my fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my trade
I stuck around the playgrounds
And saw it was time for a change
Invaded MOPS and the pre-schools
The moms screamed in vain
I drive a mini-van
Don’t care to hide
I do what I do
With a great deal of pride!
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my trade, oh yeah
I watch with glee
As my children and friends
Play their games
And thankful for the memories they make
I shout
I’m a lucky guy!
To be home
And care for them
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a dad of wealth and taste
I watch and entertain the latch-key kids
Who are left alone at home
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my trade, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my trade
Just as every mom is a nurturer
And all the children blessed
As dad is not a mom
Just call me At-Home Dad
‘cause I’m proud of what I do
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some empathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
To welcome me into your home, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, um yeah
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my trade, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what’s my trade
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what’s my trade
I tell you one time, I’m not ashamed
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What’s my trade
Tell me, baby, what’s my name
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my trade
Uke, Totally awesome man. I hope that others will heed your words of wisdom and will do what ever they are able to in order to make it to the convention. Don't forget as well that for those who are able to get there early enough on Friday that I have set up a limo bus wine tour for the dads to participate in. I guarantee that they will have fun on the tour as well plus all the fun and great times that go along with attending the convention.
