&lt;p&gt;      Keeping it quick and to the point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My son Jordan (singer/songwriter/novelist/graphicartist/filmmaker) has entered a contest to create a plot line for a horror film for HorrrorFest 2008).&amp;nbsp; He loves horror movies (he DID NOTget that from &lt;u&gt;me&lt;/u&gt;) and has come up with something clever.&amp;nbsp; The problem is, he just found out about the contest yesterday and the &lt;strong&gt;deadline&lt;/strong&gt; for votes for the winning concept is &lt;strong&gt;MONDAY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like--or can stand--the horror genre at all, or if you just love film, or if you think artists should be given every chance to make art, please go before Monday to: &lt;a href="http://www.massify.com/pitches/channel" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.massify.com/pitches/channel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and vote for Jordan&amp;#39;s concept.&amp;nbsp; It will involve registering on the site (it can be rather anonymous) and then casting your vote.&amp;nbsp; He would really appreciate your support!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s a little frustrating that talented young artists have to jump through rather stupid hoops sometimes to get support for their creative efforts, but that is a discussion for another blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mille bacci and mercy buckets. &lt;/p&gt;
