I want to thank everyone who has submitted a phallic building. I have received several hundred links and attachments, though links are easier to deal with, if you can go that route. I have to say that none of the buildings sent so far are in any way flaccid. I have received at least one wombish building, but that could be a separate contest. What the winner will receive has yet to be determined, but I'll try to come up with something. Keep the submissions coming, if you feel like it. A winner will be chosen at some later date.

For listings of my readings and further information about The Most Phallic Building in the World Contest read earlier blogs below.

Thank you!

I will NOT be on The Late with David Letterman tonight, Tuesday, July 29, but I will be on, just about for sure, tomorrow night, Wednesday, July 30. Thanks for checking this, if you did check this . . .

Below are other appearances and information about The Most Phallic Building in the World Contest, for which there have been numerous entries -- thank you! In September, at some point, there will be an erection, I mean election, of the most suitable building.

The Most Phallic Building in the World contest is accepting submissions. So far there have been quite a few interesting buildings sent my way. The article that started this whole silly thing can be read at http://slate.msn.com/id/2085471/entry/2085747

In this article I claim that the Williamsburgh Bank building is the most phallic in the world. To see a picture of the bank go to www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/willie/willie.html

Please send your submissions to me at Jonathanames2@aol.com. Let me know if you want your name to go with your submission, for example: "Pete from Illinois proposes that this silo is the most phallic building in the world . . . " Eventually the images will be shown at www.cabinetmagazine.org

I imagine by mid-September this will all come together, so to speak.

Thanks for participating in this frivolous but distracting endeavor.
