Here are the Two Finalists! Voting Ends THIS Monday at 9 a.m.!
After 1430 votes, the "Legos" one and the "Aspiring Musician" finished as the top two vote-getters! So here's your ballot...
FAQ 1: When does the voting end?
Monday at 9 a.m., and we'll announce a winner then.
FAQ 2: Why is "Legos" still in it, even though it's well longer than 30 seconds?
People voted for it. I didn't judge these, but I also didn't set a time-length for someone to be disqualified. The judges didn't like the length -- shorter is almost always better -- but apparently liked other aspects enough. And no, the judges don't know anyone affiliated with any of the videos they picked.
FAQ 3: Is this all about voter turnout, really?
Yep. People are pretty smart, and knew they needed to rally their friends to vote. Fun to see votes from all over the country, too. Very cool!
FAQ 4: Why aren't there more references to accordions in these videos?
Simple: Jealousy. Thanks for asking this frequently-asked question.
"Legos at WAY-FEST 2007"
"Aspiring Musician"
Legos shouldn't catch any flack for being long as aspiring musician is also a minute long. Neither one of these videos should be punished for not following the 30 second-ish "rule", because neither did.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of 30 seconds, and are justified freely by Brant's grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

What tha? How can anyone vote for the Lego commercial? It's just plastic toys! Need a commercial with heart and soul. I personally go with the musician. Simple, raw and unedited...Truth.
Spread the word...

Don't give up Aspiring Musician! Where would we all be now if Jesus gave up when the road was rocky? Do not listen to the naysayers.
You must believe....

i'm not trying to complain but these videos were well over :30 seconds, our video was about 1:20 and you guys said we couldnt have it in unless it was in the :30 seconds...ours could of been alot better, but u guys told us it had to be in the :30 second range... i just think this whole thing is really unfair. but oh well...it's not like my say is gonna change anything...

I would just like to thank everyone for their support around the country. I've been noticing votes in my favor from places I don't even know anyone. Especially in Kansas. You guys are awesome. I truly appreciate everything everyone has done, but don't stop now...the moment of truth is rapidly approaching. Consider this message a personal "Thank You" to anyone who has and/or will vote for me. Keep it real. God Bless.

Aspiring Musician ROCKS!
WHO will be going to WAYFEST?
Are the lego people the woods/plastics/stones that are going to cry out if the real people do not show up to PRAISE GOD!
Grace, Mercy and Peace!

I have a FAQ. Did the Aspiring Musician do all his own stunts? If so my vote is for him.
I am no video editing guru but I believe those lego guys had stunt doubles. That's right I am calling shinanigans (or something like that) on the lego guy.
