Voted!

When you get the message: "Thanks for your vote. Come back and vote later today and listen for the results Monday July 16th at 8am" ... that clearly says we can vote more than once right?

Lol, all you have to do is vote, clear your cookies, refresh the page, vote again, clear cookies again, refresh page and just keep repeating it, lol. Nice way to guarantee a win :tongue:

Shall I write a script to vote 500 times and run it while I'm sleeping? :D

I did that for The Apollo Effect once. I think it was for a contest run by The Hammer in Hamilton. They disqualified us. Too many votes from the same IP.

So the lesson here is: renew your DHCP lease between votes or use an anonymizing proxy. :D

Edit: Voted for you. And I noticed they're using a captcha. So much for scripting that. As an aside your name reminds me a Phish tune: My Mexican Cousin. Good tune.

Maybe I could push the script to my botnet army so that he'll get at least 500 million votes, just to be sure. Then Aerosmith will have to open for Intoxicado! :banana:

But I jest, I don't have a botnet, I just read that word online somewhere...

Thanks folks, keep em coming! I just found out today that they have a filter on the voting so anyone clearing their cookies and voting multiple times will not be counted, so it's a fair vote. So we need all the support we can get. Ask all your friends on your msn's and yahoo's etc...

Thanks again,

It's great seeing how many of you are doing this for us, we thank you so much for the support. I only have to nag you guys for 6 more days! Keep it up. I can feel a win coming on but only if everyone keeps voting. Our facebook group has grown to 524 members, and we seem to be getting lots of support from other forums that we frequent. I hope I have a great Aerosmith story to share with everyone in 2 weeks.

Thanks again,
CB

Ok, so here's the quick rundown of the show.

We were to load in at 10:30, and line check at noon. Then start the show at 12:30.

we get there to load in and Cheap Trick were doing their line check. They were supposed to do that at 7am. So we waited. 12 o'clock came and wet, so did 12:30. Eventually around 1 they asked us to bring our drums in to setup. Finally about 125 they asked us to get our amps onstage. We walked on, plugged in, and they told us to start. Only let us play 3 of our 5 planned songs. It was raining and windy. The rain was coming staight in on the stage. Not a dry spot anywhere. We start playing, and I realize that my monitors aren't even plugged in. Then when they did get them working for me, I only had vocals going through them. And our drummer had no monitors at all. We all got soaked, our guitars got soaked, my pedals were drenched in water. The crowd was awesome! The show was awesome! We were on the ball. My strap slipped off during the last song. My roadie/camera girl was there thank god to fix it for me so I didn't have to stop playing. It was such a great day all around. Thanks to all of you who voted for us again. We wouldn't have had the chance to play if it wasn't for you. Here's a link to the vid of the show.
