Dear Contestants

Thank you all so much for participating the DNLBATW contest! Over the next couple days, I’ll be looking over the data to figure out those of you that cleverly drove traffic to your page, and also those that sat and reloaded your page a million times. But you’ll have to cut me some slack, as I’m off to Ohio this weekend to help with some election that’s happening next week. I heard it was a big deal or something.

Also, the creative element produced some truly weird and awesome ideas. I’m humbled that some of you went to these lengths. If you haven’t already, send what you did into contest@secretdakotaring.com and I’ll put them into a blog post next week (unless you don’t want to, but you really should).

Thanks so much!

Love,
aross

    my heart just skipped a few beats teehee…have a nice trip!

    I hope you DON’T vote for the guy who is like 150 years old and will live for the next 45 minutes leaving an idiotic lunatic as commander in chief.

    haha a big deal or something? you’re the best. :] i totally voted already, btw.

    A good (ignorant) friend of mine’s bday is on the 4th… he told me Dems vote on Wednesday because of all the supposed “turn out” they’ll (we’ll) be having. Luckily for me… I didn’t fall for his shenanigans, it was for his um… “dumb” friends… anyway…

    I hope you enjoy my creations.
    Your music touches more people than you know and I certainly hope you know that!

    Elections in USA are creepy.

    Don’t get me wrong, but i just don’t get how it works, it’s so complicated.

    Slightly random but– any chance you, Mr. Ross, or Secret Dakota Ring could get a twitter so we, your loyal fans, can see what you’re up to? I noticed you had a twitter button on the contest pages– I wasn’t sure if those were because of suggestions made or if you possibly had one…

    I got the song added to KICK FM’s playlist! I even heard them playing it this morning, AND they credited me on their site! AWESOME!

  • 9. fc  |  November 5th, 2008 at 2:16 am

    from the rest of the world, thanks for dropping by ohio :)

  • 10. Rachel  |  November 5th, 2008 at 9:06 am

    Yeah, great job in Ohio, Andy!

  • 11. Nance  |  November 5th, 2008 at 9:50 am

    I concur!! THANK YOU for Ohio!

  • 12. Nance  |  November 8th, 2008 at 2:25 am

    So though we realize you’ve been immensely swamped lately, we have decided to harass you with extremely empty threats till you reveal the results. So, here it goes [again]. Ok, yeah, lame joke, sorry. Aaaaanywho…

    Ahem.

    I threaten to bring back Sarah Palin and then force you to sit down and listen to her talk for 10 hrs about WUH-SEE-LA [Wasilla] and all its high class moral values… oh, and how Africa’s a country, mmhmm. Say it ain’t so, Rusto.

  • 13. Rosa  |  November 8th, 2008 at 7:16 am

    ack! ew! yuck! hahahahahahahah oh no, that’s incredibly painful Nance, you bad bad girl! Don’t worry Roasty, I’d never put you through such a depraved predicament as nefarious Nance proposes, in fact, I wanted to let you know I’m never gonna give you up
    Never gonna let you down
    Never gonna run around and desert you
    Never gonna make you cry
    Never gonna say goodbye
    In fact, I already made a bet that you’ll have the results by Xmas

    …2009 LOL

    Meanwhile, here’s something I bet you’re going to be smitten with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g

  • 14. Rachel  |  November 10th, 2008 at 7:48 am

    ROSA!!!!!!! You Rickrolled me TWICE. I mean seriously - you couldn’t BARACK-roll him? That one is clever, at least.

    Andy, please stop these crazy women before it continues. I’m begging. It’s less to know the results of the contest and more to prevent further rickrolling. You have the power to save humanity.

  • 15. Nance  |  November 10th, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    Heh, Rach, don’t you worry, I will never Rickroll you.

    I was trying to think of another positively diabolical plan to threaten Andy into revealing the results, but I couldn’t think of anything more evil than the one I already mentioned. So, all I ask from Andy now is just a simple update. He doesn’t have to reveal the results. Just tell us how things are going, so we know the Palinators haven’t tied him up in a barrel or something.

  • 16. Becky  |  November 10th, 2008 at 5:00 pm

    Rachel, is this better?

    And now, back to lame jokes. Lame joke #3:

    Knock, knock.
    Who’s there?
    You know.
    You Know Who?
    That’s right, Avada Kedavra!

  • 17. meg  |  November 10th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    lolol, Becky, I LOVE that joke! =P
    Seriously, it’s one of my favorites.

    Idk, I find that you guys’s threats are perhaps more entertaining than the results… =D
    I kid, obviously. But you guys are pretty entertaining while we wait.

  • 18. Katie  |  November 10th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    dear andy.

    go here:

    it’s real, i wish i could make up that link

  • 19. Rachel  |  November 10th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

    Becky, Ginny and Luna (http://b8.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01520/88/02/1520832088_l.jpg) have asked me to tell you that your joke hit a little close to home. They demand treats as tribute. (Honestly, you and I both know this is an excuse to ask for treats, but could you say no to those two?)

  • 20. Rosel'n Bolan  |  November 12th, 2008 at 1:32 am

    What’s wrong with you people?

  • 21. Rosa  |  November 12th, 2008 at 10:34 am

    We’re baggage-less, also, I may have been rickrolled one time too many this year.
