Robert Dean Hoag III, known to most as the record producer, and songwriter Bob Hoag, from Flying Blanket Recording, as well as Pollen, The Go Reflex, The Ataris, and other projects, has found his calling in life. It's a bit of a casting call, in fact. Mad Men is considering him for a part of their AMC show. All you need to do is vote for him. If you see any of the other contestants, you will know that he, more than anyone else, is the one who belongs. Bob also has previous acting and filmmaking experience, not that that matters. The guy is just a nature for this show. Click this link to go to his Mad Men page, then one more click before his photo and you're done. Two seconds is all it takes.
In Bob's words:
"Hello, Bob here. There's a contest on amc.com right now, and the winner gets a walk-on role in their amazing TV show, Mad Men.
For me to make it to the semi-finals, I have to get a lot of online votes, which you can do here:

After you're done admiring my fine visage (photo by Susan Jordan Anderson), please click the VOTE NOW thing at the bottom.
It does say on their site that if any automatic voting software is used, the entrant will be disqualified...so yeah, don't do that (though I appreciate the intention).
The contest goes until Sept 6, so please vote for me as often as you can until then, because dammit, I was born to be in this show.
For added hilarity and pain, feel free to browse some of the other "entries." The idea is, you're supposed to be judged on how 1960s you look Um, do any of these people even watch this show? Yeah man, fauxhawks and mirror aviator shades were all the rage in '63.
Thanks a ton for your support!
Please, return me to my rightful era."
Bob
In the words of the Phoenix New Times: [Up On The Sun]
"Local uber-producer Bob Hoag is owed a lot of favors in this town. The Atari-turned-knob-twister-turned-Love Me Nots Drummer has had half the bands in town come through his well-regarded Flying Blanket Studio in Mesa..." [click Up on the Sun link for full story.]
Yes, please return Bob to his rightful era.
Thank you.
