I suggest offering every 100 voter a free signed DVD of the entire film? I am a fan of Bindlestiffs they performed in my interactive Cyber Cabaret at the Knitting Factory 1998. If you implement such an idea, or something like it, I would be happy to help promote the vote for Bindlestiffs on my social media networks. You will need to give something to get something! good luck, adriana kaegi http://dearaddy.com http://adrianakaegi.com
