I just got this e-mail from Dean Budnick:

Not sure if this is just for industry people or not. I couldn\'t find any links online for public voting, but...:shrug:

I think it would be in the band\'s best interest to fill out the nomination sheets as completely as possible. Often one line entries or single band entries are dismissed as ballot stuffing and not counted.

Yeah OK maybe 2.
The FF9 is a nice choice for Live Performance.
4 shows in a row is not a tour
Your archival choice is not an album
Your DVD choice is not an official release. I do not believe they award fan DVD\'s
Your choice for live download is nice if they include shows released by fans not just the bands themselves.
If anything is going to be coordinated it seems the band\'s best bet is the FF9 Performance with the sit in of Cactus which we should all get behind.
Yeah OK maybe 2.

You call it hating I call it being realistic.

I got it as well.
I would suggest everyone cut and paste this to email and return to
dean@jambands.comI would also suggest that we make resposnses as balanced as possible.
Moxy for best studio album
Spears last show for best live performance
etc..
looks to me like there would only be 2 eligible categories anyways (live performance, and *maybe* download, depending on what they consider that to be, like leith said).
moxie epoxy was 2006.
since i find most jambands silly, unoriginal, obnoxious, boring and contrived, i\'m gonna have to sit this one out. however i agree that if we want the band to be taken seriously, the ballots should be filled in a well thought out, thorough manner. showing that you can type "the breakfast" thirty times doesn\'t really get anyone\'s attention. this isn\'t the jambands 250.
