Vote for “Floydian Slip”
Posted June 13, 2011 by Floydian Slip
Here’s your chance to put “Floydian Slip” and Pink Floyd on the charts of Burlington, Vermont’s weekly alternative newspaper “Seven Days.”
The paper’s accepting ballots now for its annual “Daysies Awards.” Voters can have their say in determining the best in a variety of categories.
The closest they’ve got to a “Best Radio Show” category is Question #63: “Best Local Radio DJ.” Though our show’s syndicated to 30 stations, Burlington is our home base. We’re heard in Burlington on WIZN 106.7 FM and WBKM.org. Host Craig Bailey lives in adjacent Winooski.
So hit the Web and vote your conscience.
Rules dictate you have to answer a minimum of 50 questions. While you’re at it, suggest a new category of “Best Radio Show” at the end of the survey.
Deadline to vote is 5 p.m. EDT Friday, June 24.
Funny side-note: Several years ago we managed to get Burlington’s daily Gannett paper to cry uncle just hours after making such a request to you crazy diamonds. The category was “Best Vermont Web Site,” and floydianslip.com won by a landslide.
“Seven Days” is using venerable survey site SurveyMonkey, so can certainly handle the traffic. Let ’em have it …
