Contestants in the 
Pete Phillips is Amazing Contest!

Thanks for all the support and awesome entries guys. 
After I got five entries, I started to feel special, so thanks for that. 
Here's what made up the stiff competition...

Joe Baldasare

Judge

Joe's entry was the most difficult. In order to save myself and him from any possible loss of respect or administrative action, I decided to censor the image. I know Joe will be quite upset, but I also don't want to lose this web space, ya know? The picture featured one woman biting another's nipple and my cropped head in the corner with a big smile. Joe had total confidence that his entry would  win if the judge was male.

Paul Hamilton 

First Place
Winner!

Though I don't know Paul (boyfriend of Miss Amy Fedele), he was kind enough to write this, sometimes confusing, yet amazing story:
I am a well traveled man. I thought that I heard them all until I came across the legend of "Sexy Pete". A man so sexy that he cannot be been in public without causing a disturbance. The minute Pete was born there was problems. He was so damn good looking that all the nurses wanted to breast feed him. A little known fact was he was the real reason why there riots when cabbage patch dolls were introduced everyone wanted a doll that looked just like Pete. Pete had a troublesome time when he entered school. He was the constant recipient of valentine cards on all days of the year. The school board had to remove him from the school since no work was being done by any girl in the school. So Pete was shipped of to a private all male catholic school. There he spent his youth and soon was became a faint memory of those who sent him there. Pete never forgot and vowed to return to get his revenge. When he graduated he returned to his home town and like the Pied Piper led all the women out of town to start a cult society in Utah. He soon got bored and left his 935 women to pursue more in his life. He soon appeared in Nepal and lived in the mountains with the gurus of enlightenment. To support himself he became a guide in the mountains. He befriended the lama population and one in particular became very fond of him and I hear is still with him today. He learned from the gurus that he was hiding himself and it was his responsibility to share himself with the world. Pete pondered on this and finally figured out a way to share himself without cause the problems as before. He decided to be on the radio where he can share his thoughts and still reach the masses. He has a large following of listeners who tune him in every time he is on. He even has a large following of men who want him. He is indeed a man to worry about. It's his next step in his plan to get all the women who listen to him to follow him. With all the women he plans to start a large escort service. "Sexy Pete" the man with a vision, the man on a mission. 

Andrea Rossi &
Stephanie Brennan

Second Place
Winner!

Ahh... the DJ's... they love me and I love them...
How fitting it would be to write a poem in order to complete the task and win pete's contest. But the oh so fantastic DJs from WRKC do not need an elaborate poem to express the importance and utter greatness that Pete Phillips possesses. Pete is the most beautiful creature that was ever placed on this planet. He is the sexiest, funniest man ever created. Ever girl wants to do him and ever boy wants to be him. He is the man of the year in our book. He is not only the best DJ that WRKC has ever seen, he is the best writer for the highly regarded school paper, the Crown. Pete warms our hearts as he does everyone else that he encounters. If people don't have a Pete Phillips in their life, they don't know what they're missing. And to you Pete phillips, we salute you. We love you Pete and as always, you are in our minds every second of the day.

Amy Fedele

Third Place

Amy's poem was inspired by actual events that took place on the day she IM-ed it over...
wis-------ere (9:44:40 PM):

i didnt think he'd go with me
i'm as lucky as can be.

but now its over and done
i wish i could have some more fun
sexy pete is a great guy
so great he makes me want to cry

Alexa Beretski
& Tim Carroll

Fourth Place

Alexa, and boyfriend Tim, submitted this photo. I'm not sure if they knew if would go online, but oh well. Apparently Tim didn't like my dissatisfaction with having "Sexy Pete" on him, but oh well...
Things to learn from this picture: Alexa & Tim have body paint laying around, and a third, unknown, party was involved in picture-taking.


Cindy Meng

Fifth Place

Submitted by awesome art student Cindy Meng, this demonstrates the amount of work I expected to go into the entries.


Laura Longo

Sixth Place

Short & to the point, this entry reminds me why I miss Laura so much:
Pete is cool because he can make his own website!
Love,
Laura

Emma Halpern

Seventh Place

Emma made it into the contest with under two hours to spare. Here's her haiku:
In Praise of Pete's Radio Banter- A Haiku for Pete!
To your laugh and words,
In beauty or in style
No song can compare

Mike Shannon

Eighth Place

The first entry! Mike rules for starting this awesome trend! He also unintentionally named the contest the "Pete Phillips is Amazing Contest." Here's his entire message:

Mike Venos

Tenth Place
we figured he won't care

God among men, Venos submitted this photo with the following message:

I guess I have to enter the contest. Attached is my entry. I doubt you've gotten anything more creative and imaginative than this....

Take note of the happy face in the "O"

Dana Smith

LATE!

Dana was the only late entry, so she couldn't win, but I suppose she deserves posting. I guess this is her at her house or something... it needs little explanation than what she provided herself:
This was the expression on my face the first time i met Pete Phillips... It was LOVE at first sight!!!
