Ok we've got momentum now, firing on all cylinders! Finally Facebook and friends are votong regularly, but I still need my Parallax bretheren (and sisteren) to keep the faith and keep voting thru Aug 31 to give us a shot.
4429? WOW! Ok, so we just need to triple our month's total in these last 2 days... LET'S DO IT, GANG!
Unfortunately, he is even in the same age group as Amy. There are 6 winners each month, one for each of 6 age groups. Ah well, such is life.
We gave it a HECKUVA run, especially this last week! Thanks to everyone for their support! We'll still enter Lindsey next month (September), but I'm guessing there may be another 4000+ ringer, so we'll vote in moderation.
Thanks again, Team Parallax did everything I asked and more!
1505! WOO HOO! We crossed the 1500 line, and we did pass Alexia (currently 1428 votes) who had a HUGE lead midway through the month. We rallied big time and as I've said many times, my Parallax peeps really came through. I mentioned the 1500 number, I wasn't sure if we could make it, but you folks delivered!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!
Searider recently found a new entry with over 4000 votes, so we won't have the most total votes, but we have the right to hold our heads high; we came a very long way in a short time. People got quite creative in the voting process, and I thank them for their passion and restraint!
Amy thanks you, too! We'll enter Lindsey in the next contest (October, turns out) just for fun, and we'll have a mild push but not like this one.
So again, many thanks from erco and the erco-ettes!
Granz: Gerber took the numbers down for some reason now that the new contest has started. I only saw 1506, but davejames says he was 1510. WOW! No word from Gerber; they have yet to even post the JUNE winners, but per Searider's post on 8/30, a boy named Liam had over 4400 votes. Yikes! Per my other post on Lindsey, Gerber has slowed the voting down with a verification email process, so I'm guessing we won't see numbers like that again. Thanks for all your support!

Can I get an "Amen"?
Another one that will be pretty cool will be the Bi-Centennial vote - who is going to get 1976?
Thanks for all the votes, Parallax pals!
erco & Amy!
*** 1427 ***
I second that AMEN !
It has been fun to support you and Amy Erco, thanks for letting us participate.

Is she up against the kids with 11 votes?
Some kids have ZERO votes. I want to hear the parent explain his way out of that...

Allright, big 1500 - the Parallax baby machine(possible band name!?) is stompin' yer way!

So what was the final count? And, in what place did Amy come?
Inquiring minds want to know
