I'm trying to be a contestant on Pickup Artist season 2

Hey guys, I know I'm not well established on this message board, but many of you may recognize my name from CamaroZ28.com or LS1TECH. As a fellow Camaro enthusiast and fan, I'm requesting your help!

Long story short, I'm trying to get votes to get myself on the VH1 TV show the Pickup Artist.

Right now I'm in 28th place voting-wise, and could really use some votes to keep me in the running! If you'd like to help, you can vote daily at http://pickupartist2casting.com/people/SpeedRacer.

Instructions for voting:
1- click "VOTE" (written in red) above my profile picture.
2- type the ALL CAP text that matches the generated graphic.
3- click the purple vote button and you're done! No annoying popups or not safe for work material at all.

Thanks! And PLEASE tell your friends to vote for me if you will.

-----
If you aren't familiar, the show is essentially about a guy named "Mystery" teaching 8 guys how to be more successful at talking to women. The official website summarizes it as such:
Quote:
In THE PICK-UP ARTIST 2, eight misfits will live together and learn together as they compete for the title of "Master Pick-Up Artist." Over the course of eight episodes, the men will learn the ins and outs of the Mystery Method, as Mystery teaches these average guys how to turn the women of their dreams into the women of their reality.
It's not a show about teaching guys to seduce women so much as it is a show about teaching guys like me how to stop being shy, scared, or just completely awful at meeting and talking to women in public. VH1 still has all of last season's episodes online at http://www.vh1.com/video/browse/index.jhtml?id=1684 if you're interested in checking them out.

Hey Tford, what type of artist are you? Or are you referring to pickup artist? I'm a graphic designer and art director.

In other news... I've just made it into the top 25! Thank you for all of your votes and continued support everyone! Keep the votes coming in!

A few of my friends have been pointing out a voting problem to me since last night.

Based on an experiment I just did, if you click the purple "vote" button and it doesn't do anything, then click again, it tells you something along the lines of "incorrect image verification, you can only vote once every 24 hours."

Well the thing that is happening is that the "Success! you just voted for this person" message is not coming up the first time you click the purple button. It's just plain not showing up. BUT the vote is being counted the first time you click the button I believe. For safety's sake, go ahead and click it once, wait a few seconds, and then click it again and make sure you get that image verification error.

Also, I've made it to 24th place! Thank you all for the incredible support!

well Art is my first love, Ive always been able to draw whatever I see to the smallest detail. I never leaned how to draw from my imagination and being able to draw what I see hurts me because I always try to draw the final product first so I need reference material I can draw anything but perfer comic style pencils. I got accepted to the art institute of seattle, but the military decided to seperate/retire me due to some injuries. My goal is to be a computer animator, hell or character designer. heres a couple of my drawings. hey Im gonna start a thread for artist to post some

Hey TFord, I just saw this post. I didn't see it earlier. I can't draw that well from imagination either. I can draw really well if I look at something/someone though.

Everybody, if you haven't already, check out the new pic on my profile as you vote today. It took a few hours to photoshop, but I'm very happy with it.

A few people have contacted me about the voting error, but let me reassure you that the votes are still working! If you click the purple vote button once, and nothing happens, and then you click again and it says "You can only vote for somebody once every 24 hours. Try again later! Incorrect value for image verification method." then you should consider your vote counted.

What's happening (don't read this if you don't want to get technical) is the success message isn't coming up the first time you click, and when you click a second time, the coding (javascript or otherwise) is recognizing two things. One, it knows that you've just voted, so you get the 24 hour message. And two, it 'believes' that you typed the wrong image verification, because based on its coding, it is thinking that a second image has been generated and you don't match it (because you matched the first one). Hope that's not too complicated to understand, but that's what I speculate is happening.

If you want to get around that problem, you can register on the site as a voter and login to vote instead of typing the confirmation code each time. Or, you can continue to just vote with the knowledge that your vote is indeed being counted!

Thanks again to everyone who is continuing and starting to vote.
