Concession

Although it pains us to say it, Xena was not crowned Homecoming Queen, losing in the end to Lola. However, her running mate Rocco Charles Velociraptor has become King, which surely is the reason why Xena got a sweet admission into the Royal Court. (We're confident Rocco will give her an important role... perhaps Secretary of Steak?)

Thank you to everyone who voted for her. All in all, about $4,700 were raised to help the shelter just from the King/Queen contest.

But wait... there's more!

Xena, in her first public performance of all time, attempted an advanced version of her famed "hold a treat on your nose" trick -- a trick so advanced, she had never even attempted it before. With an audience of dozens watching eagerly, holding their breath in anticipation, Xena remained cool as an arctic surpy as she balanced one, then two, then three... then FOUR potato chips on her nose, simultaneously.

Never before had she gone beyond just a single treat on the nose.

And the crowd went WILD. Ok... mostly it might have been Ronda, but it was still awesome and the judges were impressed. They awarded Xena with Best Dog Trick!

Of course... now we'll never hear the end of it.

That's all for the Xena campaign. Thanks again for all of your help and donations!

Peace, love and beware teh Kitten Mafia.

Absentee Ballot?

Thanks to Ronda and Will for a last minute absentee ballot. We're not sure if we'll be able to get it in the official tally, but we're grateful for all of your support!

Voting Has Ended

Voting has ended. Now we just have to await the results. Fortunately, if there's a dispute, Xena knows some kittens with connections at the Supreme Shelter Court. Also, we've already got our lawyers working on a recount request and a dispute against the objectivity of election officials (we have it on good authority that they're taking money from candidates!).

Stay tuned!

Thanks!

Gracious thanks to Katie H., Stacie B. and Marilou O. They were our final voters! Thanks so much for all of the members of the Xena Gravy Train. We love you all!

Platinum Gravy Train Membership

Thanks to Jennie H. for making a whole new sponsor level with her massive votage! Our Platinum Gravy Train Membership Level comes complete with pictures of you with the candidate (Photoshopped) and three political favors (not valid with other coupons).

Overzealous Supporters Make A Good Point

A bit more heavy-handed than Xena would like, but they make a compelling point. Time is running out.

More Thank Yous

Xena extends her gratitude to Sahar and Deb. F. for their generous contributions. Thanks to your donations, we're doing well. Xena is still a ways behind last year's Queen, but we're in the running.
