We need to be famous. We want tabloids watching our every move and putting us on the front page when we gain five pounds with headlines like “Mark really lets himself go!”. Then Dave can go mad and start eating sticks of butter, claiming they work better than energy bars. But to get to that point we will need your help. Eventually we will need all of your money, but for now we’ll settle for your time. KTCL is having their annual Hometown for the Holidays competition. The winners get to play a great show, have the chance to win lots of money and open up for a national act (we can only hope it will be Saliva). Voting for the first round runs from now until Tuesday, December 11 at 5 p.m., so here is how it works:

3. Go here and enter your username and password: http://www.area93.com/cc-common/globalcontestfinder.html?c..26974
4. Check the box next to our name ("Monster" - Vices I Admire), which is just over half way down the list, and then hit the submit button.
5. Do steps 3-4 once every day from now until Tuesday, December 11 at 5 p.m..
6. Congratulate yourself on doing your part to get us stalked by paparazzi.
