Friends, again we want to offer our most sincere thanks for the relentless support which each of you provided to earn us the First Place Popular Vote in the Ernie Ball FLOODfest competition. With your dedication, we were NUMBER ONE for 7 out of the 8 weeks when the contest was active. Final points were 12,086, we were 1400 points above the second place band- and averaged over 10,000 points higher than every other band - almost 1200 bands! That said, the winning band that is awarded the South By Southwest festival gig in Austin, TX is then selected by the FLOODfest judges. Although you, the fans have proven to the sponsors and judges that Reality Suite has the most dedicated worldwide fan base out of 1200 bands, we have not been selected to play at FLOODfest. Rather, a Austin local band who earned just over 500 points won the opportunity to perform. Yet disappointing, the true reward has come in the form of each of YOU. Now we realize the amount of love and support that is out there for us. Winning new instruments and a gig in Austin, Texas doesn't amount to what we already have.....YOU! You're all the best. We love each of you. Out of appreciation, we will be broadcasting a live Q&A session WEDNESDAY NIGHT AROUND 9PM, MARCH 9TH. It will be loose and fun.....we'll answer questions....maybe we'll perform.....maybe we'll cook hotdogs on a George Foreman Grill for your entertainment.....anything goes. BE THERE!!
