Our victory on Rollingstone.com must have really unravelled the post hippy's public approval rating, as he is not even present on the list of bands elligible to play the coveted extra 10 minutes at the Sacramento Warped Tour!
As you can see, we can almost almost reach the cookies on top of the fridge, and we just need a wee boost. I just voted. It takes like 21 seconds, beginning........NOW.
Thanks.

Competition ends on August 20, 2007 at 2pm (PST).

I'm getting everyone I know to vote. Hopefully we won't let you down.
i dont even live there and i voted a bunch of times for you doods.
i don't know about you, but even though you didn't get an extra ten minutes in barrie ontario, i thought it was even more awesome that you got main stage.
p.s. i voted for this. good luck.
Done.
I'd also voted for you on my warped date, but alas, Jacksonville doesn't have tastes as good as Sacramento.
I have voted an umteen number of times for you guys. I don't even live relatively close but you have to win this!
woooo I voted. But now I'm getting spam in my email box even though I unchecked the little 'send me info and details' box. Oh well, hope you guys win! :D
when you guys were in mountain view, I voted for you guys a million times on a bunch of different e-mails. I even made some up.
but is it just with my computer that when I try to vote more than once now, it's like tracking my computer and it won't let vote again?
I can't vote anymore, maybe I should clear my cookies and try again.
Also, I found that you can use random email addresses to vote, not just your own. For example, I voted with mynameisjohn@hotmail.com.
I don't even know who John is.
Gah, it won't let me vote anymore either. I've sent links to just about everyone I can though, so hopefully see you a bit longer...
Wow, I just refreshed the page and we're winning, again! By about ten...
Hopefully it'll stay in our favour. :)

awesome you guys are getting there
i'm from PA but i've been voting all week
i wish u guys the best of luck and hope u win!!
SHAWN YES!
hope you guys win!!!
at the moment you are winning!
but not by much so im going to harass all of my friends into boting now as well.
good luck!
i cant believe Warped Tour is almost over...
I've been voting tons, but the past few times I tried it won't allow me to. I had everyone I know vote, and last night I went out in Sacramento and schooled a bunch of guys on who The Matches were. They said they would vote, but they were also drunk so who knows.
I swear I voted about 20 times in a row and then you guys got in the lead! Awesome, I'll be voting more to keep it that way.
I voted until it wouldn't let me vote anymore then demanded all my friends to vote. Last time I checked you were in the lead by a hundred! Good luck.
As of 4:15 PM PST, you guys are ahead by 106 votes, and the votes keep coming in!
I've voted as much as it will let me with a bunch of emails I made around the time of the Mountain View competition.
I must say, if you don't win, I would be shocked. Because I know everyone is helping out the best they can. Good Luck!
God I love The Matches fans!
I'm getting so excited for Sac-town and the coveted extra 10! You did it in Mt.View and it was awesome. This time, I'm bringing my godson, who has never been to a rock show in his life! Of course we wanted The Matches to be his first show, so he can compare the rest to the best.
I will bring you actual cookies, being a mom and all, they will even taste good! What kind do you like?
Thursday can't come fast enough!

Done deal...I wish you could have played longer in Cinci. But it was still worth it.
I voted..
even though I live in Australia and whether or not you play 10 extra minutes in some random place I've never heard of doesnt affect me, I still voted. :)
(I think matches fans have sealed the deal - have fun playing 10 minutes more) ;D
/voted of course.
Got in my votes. Good luck guys, you deserve the extra time without a doubt.
it's a mad battle. it's been going back and forth like crazy all day
I voted and now you're winning by 144 votes! Even though I live nowhere near Sacremento, I figured it'd be good for you to win, even if you didn't win in Chicago.

ps: maybe then you would've played jack slap cheer...
There's definitely a Shawn-Harris-Lookalike bussing tables at my local Cheesecake Factory.
Definitely doubletake worthy.
Hahaha. Irrelevance and all, someone reading this ought to appreciate that.
So, if you win in Sacramento you're going to play Jack Slap Cheer right?
I really wish I could go this time around. I missed you at Shoreline in June.
Where the hell has Summer gone?
Dave Matthews ain't got nothin' on you!

DITTO!
I took pleasure from clicking buttons .
much love!
much hate to warped for not coming here...BLAH!
and much hate to Mr Dave Matthews and his so called 'band'...and all other contenders BOO!
haha, i voted even though i live down in the wilds of texas.
p.s. i just got an email from eventful that told me the current hottest demands were (no joke, i am totally honest):
T-Pain
Lil Wayne
Soulja Boy Tell 'Em
Lil Mama
Kelly Rowland
THE MATCHES: 10,275 people in 143 places
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very exciting!
AWESOME ur almost over 2000 demands way to go!!!
:( Sorry. I know a lot of us really tried. And that's what counts, right?
Gah, we were so close...
You guys deserved it so much more.
Eh, it'll still be great!
Everything happens for a reason right?
See you soon...

Damn it Shawn, I'm all demanded out. I can't count the amount of times I demanded the matches this summer. You better fucking win Sacramento or I'll be convinced the contest is rigged.
So... ATL manage to accumulate 300 votes in 30 minutes?
Damn them and their super-viruses! Damn them to hell!
Just stay on stage anyway and refuse to move for 10 minutes is your safest bet.
shot dooown, in a blaaaze of glorrry!!!!!
i tried shawn
and im sure you would have won if i hadnt gone to work
so i think you should call my boss and blame him. its always his fault.
if its raining outside its his fault
if your car wont start its his fault
if you have a tummy ache its his fault
sometimes its fun to think of random things that are his fault....
like male patterned baldness or perhaps global warming
haha
It's okay, I'll just tackle Kevin Lyman before the show.
We we're almost there, so close, and then at the last moment, it was snatched away.
But it's ok, you guys will make more people smile in your 30 min set then All Time Low could in 3 hours!
Aw, sorry we couldn't get you there. :( I think we all underestimated the power of the tighty whitey.
sry u guys lost.
ure number for me.
i think all time low is boring.
aw man, im sorry.
saying that you guys>all time low would be an understatement.
you guys are easily the best band on the tour.

I voted, and I'm sorry you lost
I'm sorry you guys didnt win for Seattle either(well, George, but no one seems to care that we're two different places) :[
I was sad, but your regular timed set was great, I've never waltzed at a concert before
It was a day of firsts, thats for sure
<3
so im in love with a married man who has two children, very awkward situation and ive been really stressed and have been emotionally eating like there's no tomorrow. but i voted.

Uuhhmm...
Quite off topic...
...but look its you!!

P.S. - When i voted the Matches were ahead by a lot.... you seriously didn't win? Preposterous!!
So, apparently every road and or highway, and or map, and or person hates me in and on the way to Marysville, California. I can't believe that happened... Did eventually find the damn place though, very nice tour buses/busses.
Next time, then. Soon?
I could've definitely used some of those hugs today....or any day of course.
♥ V
Oh yeah, and I had some dark chocolate melted into my favorite jeans, and burnt my arm pretty badly on a iron...
Positive note: I'm still really happy you liked everything though. :)
See you soon...
♥ V
I just saw some great pictures and heard some great stories from some great friends, I really did miss out....I guess that was my payback for the day before though. I would go into more detail, but I'll just say on here, we really did try.
I'm still extremely happy you liked everything though. :)
See you soon!

...Gah, sorry for all the comments!
Just one question which I forgot to ask in montreal, what are your plans for after warped tour? I know it ends tomorrow, and I'm just wondering when you guys are planning on touring. Soon? Or are you going to take a break and/or write/record the new album?
i hate people that say "umteen".
she was supposed to say "umpteenth" i think.
so, if she's going to mess up the english language, she should at least spell it right. right?
wait? you're really married with children?
uncool. so, i'm guessing the bowtie i made meant nothing to you...
i love making it sound like i actually know you... just like everybody else that thinks if they ask you a very serious and deep question like they're more interested in your music than your body - you'll actually reply to them! but, no. no. it never happens, does it?
i'm crushing dreams right now, aren't i?
it's a sad day for 15 year old girls everywhere.
and that's three in a row which just bumped me up to borderline creep.
by the hammer of thor, i am good. if this were english, i'd get bonus points for using two vocab words.
you really have a wife? i'm just going to google it. google should not be a verb. i just died a little inside for using it such. and as my punishment, i will not let myself go back and delete it. so everyone can see what a noob i am.
all of us here have at least one thing in common, we love the matches. let's leave it at that, we don't need to prove that we are better than one another for whatever reasons. that's just ridiculous.
You were lovely at the Pittsburgh date. By the way, Amelie is one of my favorite movies too. =)
I really do hope you win as many extra 10 minute slots as possible.. But the next piece of Matches action going on in my part of the world wil most likely be the next album..
Unless of course you come back to Australia before then. Which I doubt.. I'm getting impatient xD
That sounds selfish. But I just cant wait :(
i saw SuperBad yesterday and while it was entertaining, i completely missed teh Matches sticker and the epitaph sticker...
i lose
random - The word "bombastic" was used in an assignment I had today, and it made me giggle a little and then think of your theorizing.
Shawn you guys played an amazing show at warped. even though your guitar tech looked like he wanted to kill you after you kept kicking stuff around.
By the way thanks again for the interview.
You are very adept at face painting.
I'm glad you hate the hardcore scene as much as I do. But not to worry, we all know the matches are punkrock.
Can't wait to see little maggots.
