You guys f'n rock so hard -- it's really tough for me to describe how great it makes me feel to see you guys, most having never met me, rally behind my band and help us seize a great opportunity.

Thank you -- bigpimpin, BasketballJones, Andrew, Marv, kam77, VDesai, Silverfuel, NYK3, Allanfan20, Solace, martin, s3231 -- all you guys for posting in this thread and keeping it alive and voting and encouraging others to vote and designing systems to vote 30 times (that's quite an amazing feat, Solace).

Thank you to all the folks who have been voting, silently, without posting -- I know you're out there. And thanks to all your family and friends that have chipped in and voted.

Please keep it up -- if we make it all the way, I'm going to give away some free Lollapalooza tickets to UK. As of now, I'm not sure how I'd set up a raffle, but we'll figure it out when the time comes. The contest says that the two final bands will get free tickets for their friends -- it doesn't say how many, but I'll get as many as I can and make a bunch of 'em available here.

And I haven't forgotten about doing a new UK banner. I'm gonna get in touch with Martin and Andrew on that one. Maybe we can use this thread to throw around some ideas -- just a thought.

Again, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!

THANK YOU!!!

voting ends on the 30th, right?

I have an end game strategy if we need votes. It's a simple way to vote without having emails. Don't want to use it if we don't need to but it's in the back pocket.

Remind me when the time gets close.

Yeah -- June 30th is the end of Round One. Hopefully we'll be in a nice comfy spot by then. The last thing I want is to be on the edge of my seat waiting for votes at the last minute. Thanks for looking out for us and I'll definitely let you know if we need to make that last minute push.

I figured out how to vote multiple times with one account.

You can use aliases to email accounts you've already voted with.

Lets say you have an AIM account. AIM and AOL are aliased. You can vote twice:

joe@aim.com
joe@aol.com

Open your AIM mailbox, there will be two ballots there. For the first ballot, click the link in the email, for the second one, the trick is not to click the link in the email, but rather cut and paste.

It works!

If you have your own domain with a catch-all email, you can vote infinite number of times on the same email.

asdljasfd@mysite.com
adslfkjsdf@mysite.com
agoinasdg@mysite.com

All would go to a catch-all email. That, plus a bot, is probably martin's trick.

exactly. good work.

Thanks for the votes, NYK3. The CD is available here.
