Just got an e-mail from Megan Slankard about her east coast tour dates.

Megan is up for a slot on the Mayercraft (John Mayer's Cruise Ship). She's also up for a Independent Music Award. Please add voting for Megan to your plethora of things you are always voting for. Here's the 411 directly from Megan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey yous!

I can't believe it's that big holiday-make/eat a lot of food/cookies-giving season already...! Happy Holidays! I guess it's also the time of year for asking favors...

I was wondering if we could ask a couple little favors from you - our friends, family, and supporters.

So, here it goes: We need your votes in two different places!

----------------------------------------------------------
1. (John) Mayercraft Carrier Competition
----------------------------------------------------------

We signed up for a chance to play on John Mayer's Cruise ship. We are one of hundreds of bands, but somehow found ourselves one of the top bands and now need your help more than ever to keep us there.

www.PlayMayercraft.com

Voting is easy, but you have to register (it's a drag, I know, but it only takes a couple of seconds.)
NOTE: Though we are one of the top bands on the buzz factor, that doesn't mean we have the most votes. YOU CAN VOTE ONCE A DAY until January 30th. Bands receiving the most votes will advance to the next round of competition.

----------------------------------------------------------
2. Independent Music Awards
----------------------------------------------------------

I'm also honored and excited to say that my cover of Paul Simon's amazing song "America" has been selected as a Finalist for the IMAs!
www.IndependentMusicAwards.com

I need your votes for the Vox Populi (the peoples' choice award!) Voting is super duper easy. All you have to do is enter an email address and a password (you can make 'em both up if you want to). Tell your friends to vote, too!

[Cheza]

Please vote for the Megan Slankard Band at these two sites - both are Famecast based, so once you create an account at one I think you can use it to log into the other one...but I won't swear to it...

VOTE HERE TODAY...the top five will be selected after this day's voting ends...this is the Famecast contest:

www.famecast.com/contest/stage.php?sid=4&rid=1168&aid=25430&vid=21924&stw=1


VOTE HERE ONCE DAILY UNTIL JAN. 31:
