Where in Iowa is Jeff?

Video Description:
Finally, after 5,000 miles on the road and 157 dance clips, the video of my tour of Iowa is complete. Filmed between May and November of 2007, it is my spoof of Matt Harding of www.wherethehellismatt.com. This video was shot entirely on my Canon PowerShot A540 and started as a goofy way to highlight the places I finally took the opportunity to see in my home state, places I have wanted to see since I was a kid. Trust me, there's a lot to see in the Hawkeye State besides corn and pigs and beans and cows and tractors and barns and silos. Don't believe it? Watch the video. Better yet, visit Iowa and see for yourself.
Here's the scoop on the clips in the video: 1. Adair's infamous smiley face water tower 2. Young cornfield near New Vienna (there really is corn in Iowa!) 3. The Bridges of Madison County 4. Iowa's largest frying pan in Brandon 5. The amusement park at Arnolds Park 6. Old Fort Madison in Fort Madi

that really is Matt Harding dancing with me in the "Inspiration by..." clip. This summer, I was fortunate enough to dance with Matt with a group in Chicago for Matt's next around-the-world video. It's due out in June 2008. In the meantime: http://www.wherethehellismatt.com. Lastly, my apologies to
Iowa City, Pella, Davenport, Marion, Waterloo, Mason City, Fairfield, Brooklyn, Forest City, Van Wert, and the other hundreds of cities, towns, parks, golf courses, and cool places that I did not have time to visit or shot crappy clips that didn't make the final cut. There is WAY too much in Iowa to
see in one summer, but I made a good run at it. Iowans, get away from your TV's and computers and go see your state!!! You really don't know what you're missing.
