Title: "Stuff The Bus" Songwriter Competition
Post by: mashby on Tue, 18 June 2013, 12:33:51
My wife Holly is performing this Thursday night at 7:00pm at The Listening Room Cafe (http://goo.gl/maps/kaAvu) in Downtown Nashville. She and her fellow songwriter Steve Mitchell will be performing "I Came Here To Love" (Holly Ashby, Pam Boylan, Steve Mitchell), so if you live in the Greater Nashville areas, please come cheer her on and help United Way of Metropolitan Nashville "Stuff the Bus" with school supplies.

If you're not in Nashville, or just don't want to make the trip downtown, the event will be streamed online at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/united-way-of-metropolitan-nashville (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/united-way-of-metropolitan-nashville).

Where I Need Your Help
I know there aren't a lot of members that live in the Greater Nashville area, so why did I create this thread? Because we're all nerds and that's where I need your help. :-)

There is a poll that the United Way has created - http:/poll.fm/49zpc (http://http:/poll.fm/49zpc) - you can vote once per day, per browser, per machine. So if you feel like lending a geeky hand, we could sure use your vote. and every vote counts, so feel free to use mulitple browsers. :-) This poll does not affect the outcome of the event, but is an informal "fan favorite" trivia thing.


For more information, please visit the Facebook Event (https://www.facebook.com/events/141288042734761/).

So, you're asking us to help you cheat? :D

I don't see y you can't just do some bouncing, bot net your school, and win that way.

I mean, if you're gonna cheat... might as well.. since by cheating, only the outcome matters... Pride is already out the window.

I wouldn't say it's exactly cheating in that the poll doesn't affect the ultimate results in the competition. Besides, I don't see how posting a link here on GeekHack is any different than posting it on Facebook.

Semantics aside, she's stalled at 2% of the votes, so I don't see any hope in catching up with the other two artists who each have over 2000 votes.  :rolleyes:
