2006 VIVI AWARD JOURNAL

First of all, I would like to thank you all for such a great turnout at the voting polls.  I have had over 500 ballots come through, and they are still coming in, although, it is dwindling down quite a bit.  The voting booth closes at 12:00 am tonight.. so, if you haven't, by any chance, voted.. then get over to the polls and do it: Main Page @ viviawards.bravehost.com - A Bravenet.com Hosted Site.  You may not think that your vote makes that much a difference at this late date, but, you just never know. 

Now, for the reason behind my SOS. 

You all know that we are planning an Awards Ceremony on November 11th, where the winners for each category will be announced.  Chris and I are hoping for a big turnout, which is wherein my dilemma lies.  We are going to need help.  The Chat rooms hold about 32 people, according to AOL, but I've heard other people state that they have gotten up to 50 in a room.  If we have over 100 people attend on Saturday, we are going to need a few more people to help us Host the rooms.  What hosting will consist of is being in synch with Chris and myself as we simultaneously announce the winners in each room.  If you are hosting a room, then you would be the announcer in said room, of each winner.  Now, of course, this can't be anyone who has been nominated, because we don't want the nominees to know who has won.  So, this needs to be someone who just wants to be a part of it all, and would like to participate by helping us out as a Host in one of the chat rooms.  I think we may need up to 5 people.  We just don't know how many people are planning to attend, and I want to make sure that we have a host for each room.

So.. if you are interested, please send me an email:  Siennastarr@aol.com, and let me know ASAP.  I would really appreciate it.

Again, thank you all for taking the time to vote, and for all the lovely, and kind comments and emails that you have sent to Chris and myself.  It is genuinely appreciated.

Again, the Award Ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 11th at 12:00 PM (PST), 3:00 PM (EST) and 8:00 PM (BST).  The links to the Chat rooms will be listed here about 11:00 on Saturday morning.

  I would love to attend, but I will be at work when the chat is going on.  I'll be there in spirit though.

  I'd help,but the painkillers sort of make me susceptible to sudden naps.
