Carmelo, when will you/we know who won? Will it be immediate or a week or so? The suspense is killing me. I can't imagine how you're feeling.

Thank you all for your help with this. It's been a crazy and nerve wracking process. You all have been amazing and I appreciate the love.
It will be interesting what happens. The other team put in crazy amounts of work, my team just did not have the time to do the same but we put out crazy promotion and there's a good chance we still lead in the vote... at least by a little. The other team was making a major push. Greer even took a sign down the city center grabbing voters and stood behind an anchor man while he did the news. We'll see. I want to believe that even though they put out much more work these last weeks, Coke will see that when we were all together and everything was equal (time, equipment, etc.) my team kicked arse. I also had it figured wrong in the beginning. I kept thinking I couldn't make videos with just myself in them, that I had to include my team. Trying to cooperate across borders limited me. After I realized making my own stuff was ok, I opened it up. We'll see, we'll see. I'm rambling because I'm so friggin nervous.

The public will find out the winner on the 16th. I find out tomorrow but I'll be bound by confidentiality one way or the other until the announcement on the 16th. This has been the longest two days of my life. I have never been this nervous in my life.

If he says something like "well guys, I've had a busy morning since I've been packing 124,583 suitcases" then we'll probably have a good idea of how it went.
