    Need Your (Voting) Help To Play At An Event...

    So yea. There's this event coming up I wouldn't mind playing at. One was done a short time ago and had over 1100 votes total...and a 3rd one is on the way after this one.




    It's not a REAL "rave" per say but it is I guess I'll call it raveish Venue isn't bad and turnouts for events thrown here so far have been relatively positive overall. These guys are legit that do these and other events.

    Here's the deal: This is voting done through Surveymonkey and paid for by the promoter out of the budget. It's seriously the first voting-style/popularity contest party I've ever seen that is about as legit as can be (and could give anyone ideas if they want to do it for their event...). Truly, those who promote themselves the best do win.

    Only one vote allowed per computer/Mac Address (so wireless networks may be at a disadvantage, but it was decided to do it that way). Cheaters get votes tossed (it was attempted last time and found out...even turned the favor for a couple of eventual winners).

    Last time around, people could vote by genre. I got a bit trounced in the house category by a few more locals in this area...the dumb part is the house winner didn't even play because they took another gig elsewhere! So they let #2 & #3 play instead...

    This time around, everyone who is on the ballot (36 people total) is lumped together and only ONE DJ on the list can be chosen for the "vote." Top 13 overall getters get slots to play by their choice.

    Also winners last time got a small stipend (typically gas money), but it is stated in the rules that they may not get anything at all, as to not put the budget in the deep red. Again, I know these guys a bit and know they're legit, so if you don't get anything to play, the party seriously bombed. But they do their best with what comes out of it.

    So, vote for me please if you can!! Takes a couple of minutes to fill out some other basic/pertinent information (as it's also a good way to collect marketing info. to get an idea of what's going on "in the scene"...again, promoters are you listening out there?), but nothing uber-major...a lot can be skipped.

    I'm toward the botton listed as 'Matty Feets'

    Voting just started and closes July 7th...so you got a fair amount of time if you want to help out.

    THANKS!!!!

        thanks so far...

        man that form is ugly, long, and complicated
        Surveymonkey isn't the greatest, but for the cost to run it and how it fits, it works out well...plus it's up to the promoter on what question(s) to put together....

        If everything was mandatory, it'd be like 15 minutes to fill it all out

        EDIT: In #6, just put like Hartford, CT as it's relative in the area.

          So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

          1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
          2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
          3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
          4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

          Am I close here?

                      Re: Need Your (Voting) Help To Play At An Event...

                      thanks all. Sitting in the #4 slot after about 36 hours of voting (over 115 votes so far). Leaders are kicking ass but they're very good (breaks duo) so they definitely should get in without question. Again my goals are to at the minimum make it in, but try to get up there a ways after so I could at least have a respectable slot to play in...

                      This is but one wave of promoting I'm doing in the end so I should have a good shot this time...last time my campaign sucked and the results showed

                            Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But, until that day, accept this vote as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

                              Got just under 3 weeks left for this shpeel. But thanks to all who voted so far!
