Hello to all country music fans.

My friend, Rustie Blue (along with her band, The Stallions)is
involved in two different contests on FAMECAST.COM & I would like to
ask you to consider voting for her if you haven't done so already.

The first contest is called the Big State Big Star Contest. Twenty
country artists & bands are competing, hoping to finish in the top
5. Out of those top 5, a panel of judges in Texas will choose a
winner. The winning artist/band will then be invited to perform in a
major country music festival held in College Station, TX October 13-
14. The winner will be opening for some big name artists, including
Tim McGraw, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, & many more
(about 50 artists total).

Rustie Blue has held the #1 spot in the voting for nearly all of the
two weeks the contest has been running, but with the contest ending
TOMORROW (Tues., Sept. 25, noon EST)she has slipped to #2. That's
still a spot that will get her considered, but I'd like to make sure
she gets enough votes to make it in (and if she could get to #1
again, that might carry more weight with the judges). If you would
like to vote for her, here is the link:

The second famecast contest, which also ends tomorrow (Tues., Sept.
25, noon EST), is in Season 3 of Famecast on the country stage (stage
#8). In this round of Season 3, Rustie only needs to finish in the
top 50 to make it to the next round, & currently she is #1. Moving
to the next round seems pretty certain there, but it would still be
nice to get her some more votes so she can continue to make new
friends & meet new people who will vote for her in the upcoming
rounds. (In season 3, by the way, it is the voting fans who will
eventually choose the winner.) If you would like to vote for Rustie
in this contest, here is the link:

For those who have never voted on Famecast.com, you will need to
register first (registration is free) & respond to a confirmation e-
mail. After your e-mail address is confirmed, you can then place
your vote for one or more artists (although you can only vote for any
particular artist once per round).

Rustie is extremely talented, and she's a people-loving person who is
a big hit with her fans. She's also genuinely appreciative of
everything anyone does for her, so I know she would appreciate
receiving your votes, as well as hearing from you if you'd like to
drop her a note on Famecast. Check out her video, which I shot
during a performance at the 2007 Ohio State Fair. It's one of her
newest songs that will be coming out on her 4th CD in the near
future!

Thanks for reading this message, & for those who either have voted
already or who will vote for Rustie in the future, we give you a big
THANK YOU!!

Sincerely,
Doug
(Rustie Blue Street Team Leader)
