Let's be WINNERS and stuff a ballot, CP Brethern.
 

A coworker is a finalist for the "Grammy Gig of a Lifetime" contest. He's a speech/debate teacher with a pretty fascinating story (survived a plane crash, rescued some people from the plane, started living carpe diem after that, etc..) who is also a great musician. He has a young son and another on the way, and it would be really cool to see him take this contest. Anyway, feel free to vote here:

Here's the direct link to vote for him:

Here's his video that he made that got him into the finals:

Edit: Need Facebook or Twitter to vote.

I tried man, but i'm not on facebook or twitter.

Thanks. I'll edit the OP and mention that you need a FB/Twitter account to vote.

Barrett was one of the top three yesterday. So bum pity bump.

Give him all 50 of my votes. He's pretty talented.

Yeah, he's got a great voice and good songwriting chops. Super nice guy as well.

Voted

In. 50 votes and counting (today, at least).

Voted. Wish him luck! Singing the questionaire was pretty clever!

Awesome. Thanks all.

My vote he gets

Done.

Question. When a stupid, crass commercial website says that you have to link via Facebook to vote, what happens? Do you end up getting spammed by them? Do you get stuff on your Facebook page and can you then go in and "unlike" them or whatever to stop it?

I'm glad to vote, but I'm very cynical about getting spammed these days.

If you don't allow it permission to access your timeline and make posts, then I don't think anything happens. At least, I haven't noticed anything.

in for 50 and the tablet
