Win a $100 Threadless Gift Certificate (+ other swag)!!!

(This is a repost with a new title... sorry.)

How 'bout this...

We really need as many votes as we can get in this Lollapalooza contest. So to sweeten the deal, I'll personally give a $100 Threadless gift certificate to the person who logs in the most votes (and can prove it to me) between now and July 20... if we finish in the top 5. If we don't finish in the top 5, I'll buy the highest voter the Threadless shirt of their choice.

So... get voting! (And save your confirmation emails so I can verify that you actually voted.) You can vote once per day, per email account! And note... if you get your friends voting as well, you can add their votes to yours. So spread the word and increase your chances!

Will that persuade people to vote more ya think?

Go Helicopters go!

Yes...

2) www.myspace.com/helicopters

how do we prove that we voted?
i mean, i will vote every day, but how do i show you that it is my vote and not someone else's?

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 9:43am

I'm sorta hoping the Threadless community can band (no pun intended) together and crank out a ridiculous amount of votes. We need everything we can get!

chelly on Jul 10 '07 at 9:43am

*nevermind!

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 9:44am

Chelly... save your confirmation emails that you receive from Lollapalooza. At the end I'll either have people forward those on to me, or take a screengrab of their inbox and send that to me. Everyone will have to be on the honor system a bit as well.

chelly on Jul 10 '07 at 9:45am

gotcha. thanks!

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 10:23am

No other takers?

chelly on Jul 10 '07 at 10:25am

do you just want us to copy/paste the confirmation notification into the blog? each number should be original.

kiLLyou on Jul 10 '07 at 10:25am

i voted

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 11:02am

nah not into the blog itself... just hold them for now and i'll send my email address around towards the end and you can send them all to that address.

let's win this so i can wear a threadless shirt on stage at lollapalooza!

ilovetomasb on Jul 10 '07 at 11:05am

whats to stop someone from photoshopping togther a printscrn or c+p confirmation emails or something

chelly on Jul 10 '07 at 11:14am

that would be lame

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 11:33am

I'll be able to tell. If I type in the link and it gives me a message that says "sorry - a vote has already been logged for this email" then I know the person actually used that link to vote. And it takes way less time to vote than to make a fake vote in Photoshop... so just vote! :)

tofurky on Jul 10 '07 at 11:47am

I voted

ladykat on Jul 10 '07 at 11:51am

Hey, just make sure you tell people that the rules explicitly state only one vote PER PERSON per day. Because it would suck to get disqualified because people were going crazy with the fake accounts.

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 1:32pm

no it's one vote PER EMAIL per day! go crazy with all your accounts!!!

ladykat on Jul 10 '07 at 1:33pm

*ahem*

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 1:34pm

i think i've gotten 6 in. what about other people..?

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 1:35pm

ladykat then we'd have to do it all thru friends. i think thelottery here wants to cheat.

ladykat on Jul 10 '07 at 1:38pm

Oh, if he's purposefully cheating then, that's a horse of a different color.

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 1:40pm

but i hope not because none of my 15 or 10 minute emails work on it!! i have no idea why :(

stevetrpi on Jul 10 '07 at 1:45pm

Voted. We're getting a nasty storm here and I was listening to the second song on the Lollapalooza site. Just as it ended, a big bolt of lightning struck nearby and the power went down. Freaky.

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 3:49pm

It's not cheating... the "per person" thing isn't enforced. I vote every day on each of my 5 accounts. Trust me... everyone's doing the same thing. There's no other way to generate 900 votes a day.

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 4:05pm

i don't get why they have the contest, then. because none of it is real votes.
anyway whatever.

ladykat on Jul 10 '07 at 4:09pm

Okay, but I have seen people get burned from not playing by the rules on these things. It would suck if your band eventually became disqualified.

chelly on Jul 10 '07 at 4:10pm

yehhhhh, i'm not going to win if that's how it is played

but i'll vote everyday for you w/ my one acct :D

lilyiris on Jul 10 '07 at 4:12pm

since we can only vote once a day.. the most we can vote is 10 times... so no one will win.
I mean I will do it for you... just because it would be pretty sweet for your band, no? but how can you give $100threadless to us all

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 4:14pm

"you can count your friends' votes as your own"

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 4:14pm

seriously though, has anyone gotten 10 minute emails to work? the email never comes.

lilyiris on Jul 10 '07 at 4:18pm

i have 3 email addresses
...

icebar on Jul 10 '07 at 4:19pm

i guess they're trying to keep people from faking it. well... good. as long as it's like that for everyone.

i have 3 or 4 emails as well.

lilyiris on Jul 10 '07 at 4:23pm

where do you want us to send you our confirmations?

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 6:01pm

Just hold them all for now and I'll ask everyone to send them at the end of voting. That way I'll be able to organize everything.

Thanks!!!

thelottery on Jul 10 '07 at 6:03pm

"i don't get why they have the contest, then. because none of it is real votes."

I couldn't agree more, by the way. All it comes down to is who can get more people to vote, not who is actually the 'better' band. But oh well... it's what we have to do at this stage.

At least the semi-finalists were hand selected by Perry Ferrell and the Lollapalooza team. So that's cool.

thelottery on Jul 11 '07 at 11:52am

#5!!! Keep voting guys!

icebar on Jul 11 '07 at 12:17pm

i want to know if other people have more than me so i know if i'm wasting my time with this!

lilyiris on Jul 11 '07 at 12:28pm

I have 6 votes so far... I don't think I will win your little competition but, like I said... Chi-Town Represent!

icebar on Jul 11 '07 at 12:30pm

i have like 6 too lol.
i'm just wondering if i need to record them, or if someone else has a lot more and just isn't saying it :P

thelottery on Jul 11 '07 at 12:56pm

You're not wasting your time with this - I'll find a way to make it worth everyone's while. Free cd... something. But only one person can win the big prize. :)

icebar on Jul 11 '07 at 2:33pm

oh cool!

chelly on Jul 12 '07 at 8:27am

bump

thelottery on Jul 12 '07 at 8:32am

Reminder to vote every day! Thanks again everyone!

lilyiris on Jul 12 '07 at 3:23pm

Hey your #2 dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

thelottery on Jul 12 '07 at 5:14pm

Yeah crazy ain't it? We were #1 for a while today too. Pretty cool. So let's see if we can stay up there! I want to beat Glint :)

wotto on Jul 12 '07 at 5:16pm

i voted

icebar on Jul 14 '07 at 3:40pm

uh oh.. now you're in 6th and some other band went to 1st! it's weird..

icebar on Jul 14 '07 at 3:43pm

and i don't think they're that good :|

thelottery on Jul 15 '07 at 3:53pm

Yeah this weekend these bands managed to magically get themselves 3000 votes a piece. Hmmm... yeah. So now we're in 9th - we need a big push from everyone this week in order to get us into the top 5 (and to get some lucky Threadlesser a $100 gift certificate!)

I'll be giving away our first album to everyone who votes. Period. If you help us out, you get our first album — "How to Fake Fall Asleep" — for free.

All you need to do is send me a screengrab or fwd. a confirmation email, and I'll send you a link to download our album.

Thanks everyone!!!!
