I’ve talked about my band megaphone on here before. In the past, I’ve preferred to keep my personal life separate from my Average Dudes life, but right now we could use all the help we can get. The local rock radio station here in Orlando is having a contest to determine who the “Best Band in Central Florida” is. Now, personally I don’t think that the number of votes a band can drum up accurately determines how good they are, but I didn’t make the rules.

Anyways, if you could take a second and go vote for us, that would rule. This thing has been going on for about a month now and they’ve narrowed it down to 8 bands. Voting for this round only lasts through Sunday, March 8th so if you’re going to do it, do it quickly! If we move on to the next round, that will begin on Monday the 9th and there will only be 4 bands left. Here’s the link to vote. Just click the bubble next to “Megaphone - Gravitate” (you can listen to the track if you like), fill in a valid email address at the bottom, then watch your inbox for the confirmation email. The vote won’t count until it’s confirmed and it may go to a spam box so look hard for it! Also, if you wouldn’t mind getting some friends to vote too, that would be great. Thanks!

As much as I complain about Florida’s heat and humidity, it sure is nice in the winter. Especially after sitting through a football game in 40 degree weather and having to board a plane outside with snow flurries. We’re back from our (free) trip to West Virginia to watch UCF beat Marshall. We met some amazing people and had more fun that we thought we would. I’ve got some stories that will soon make their way onto this site so stay tuned. First I have to go thaw my toes in the bathtub.
