Hello Byo'ers!
Melissa and I have been absent from the boards for some time, well we actually both still read the boards quite often and always plan to create things for the retro arcade game world once again (eventually). We always talk about it and we do both love retro gaming.
Today we are asking for 30 seconds of your time to vote for Melissa to meet billionaire entrepreneur Daymond John of ABC's Shark Tank. Melissa is a top 10 final and is currently running 4th. We have just started really promoting and asking for votes today, I believe with BYOAC's help she can take this. She would like to use his knowledge to take the business to the next level and really wants to win this
To VOTE for MELISSA click the link, scroll down and find her pic carving a Skeleton sign (this is the pic that got her into the top 10):
Going to list a few links here, the voting is a little quirky but please hang in until you get a vote in:

When you get there, scroll down and find Melissa in this pic, please click on it and vote:

Here is a gift we made for Daymond and hope to deliver it in person to him. We're hoping that spreading this around the internet, along with Melissa's story will help give her an advantage in the contest. We just released these today and are hoping you guys can help put her in 1st place!

We would love to hear any questions or comments on the contest, or if you guys just want to try and catch up with us since we have been absent, please hit us up here! Some of the old timers might remember that Melissa started carving arcade decor and first posted pictures of them no where else but here. It was the reaction and encouragement of BYOAC alone that propelled Melissa and I to continue with the venture. Having just coming out of a previous retail business filing bankruptcy, it was very well received as we were both down on our luck. Now, almost seven years later the company has flourished into an international sign company and we are looking at some really big things like an international 3D sign school and possibly franshising a sign company nationally. These are some other things we would like to discuss with Daymond, should we be fortunate enough to be able to meet him though this contest.
THANKS GUYS!

This may have worked better in Everything Else. Please feel free to move. thanks!
