thanks for the links, I just voted for both of them...

Oh yeh, and does anyone know why in the description it says hacky sack, and not footbag. I mean I know it should say hacky sack so people know what it is, but it isn't called footbag anywere in the descriptions...

Actually I'd rather y'all didn't vote for the other ones, at least not now. At present, the "AKI" video is #1 (overall!) on their site and has been viewed over 500 times - good exposure for only 3 days, eh? - but I don't want to see all 3 footbag videos rise to the top or it will look like a setup.

And to crazydwarf, have you noticed the titles of the videos? Stop nit-picking. Yes, I could be more PC in the descriptions, but I'm not trying to lecture the viewers, rather entertain and intrigue. Anyone who wants to know more, will likely go to Flipsider.com and get plenty of info on why we don't say "hacky sack". Ok? Thanks.

And thanks again to everyone for helping me in this effort. It was far more successful than I had hoped, and will hopefully have a positive influence on the Live Acts team, to whom I wrote a letter to get on their show.

Later,

Sorry Ellis, I was just curious... when I was looking at the descriptions of the movies it just struck me as kind of odd... maybe I'm the only one though

I know you were trying to make it easy for normal people to understand what it was... plus I know you know much more about footbag and how to promote it then I do, didn't mean to insult you or anything like that...

bump,bada,bump,bump

The video has been the #1 video on the site for 2 weeks and has been viewed almost 2000 times!

I'm shooting a short film today to submit to a contest, so I'll be asking again for you cats to register and vote for it pretty soon. The winners get a laptop and airtime!

The video was #1 for over a month and has been viewed ~3000 times. Not a bad bit of publicity, eh? Well, over the holidays it got bumped to #2, which would be completely fine with me except the one that bumped it is a spoken word video (which has its own "Word" category) and is taking up the top spots in two categories. I admit my video did that too, but when I realized it, I edited it to one category to be fair. So anyway, I was hoping someone who didn't vote yet would be so kind as to act on behalf of karma and vote for the footbag video to help get it back to #1 in Performance. Remember, this is for footbag.
