And Mark Schectman from The Local Edge with Mark is nominated for Best Local Music Advocate and Best Radio Show.

And the Granada, who was cool enough to let us shoot the trailer at their house (and where we will likely shoot part of the film) was nominated for Best Venue.

Congrats to all our friends and nominees.

Everyone go here to check out the ballot and vote!

And one last thing, music awards shows are awesome opportunities to find a new favorite band, either by seeing them live at the show or simply looking down the ballot and checking out new bands you haven’t heard before.  There are a lot of insanely talented people on this ballot that I didn’t list because they’re not involved with the movie, but they’re totally worth checking out, so scroll down the list and check out anybody you don’t know.  They all have Facebook and MySpace pages with sample music on there.  They were nominated for a reason.  Go find out why.

And while you’re at it, vote!
