Anticipation...

While you're waiting (and checking the charge on your phones, and calling your friends to request a little help with voting) here are a few quick, fun bits and bobs:

Via the kind people at Bucky's TWoP thread, here's a short L.A. Times article about tonight's Barry Manilow/50's theme show. (Sounds like the Idols had fun in Vegas...)

A poster at the official Fox boards got a chance to meet Bucky and Elliot Yamin during a flight stop in Las Vegas, and she graciously tells her story here, complete with a little message from the guys.

Got a website or blog? Need a cute little blinkie? Look no further than Idolforums, where a talented animator has made three different Bucky support blinkies and generously declared them "for anyone to use". (Thanks!) Here's one of the designs--it'll only be here today, so please upload it to your own server/imagehost.

And last (and least!) we're getting a little better at this screencap thing. For the reader who wanted the "Wave on Wave" profile, here you are. I'm fairly graphics challenged, but I'll do the best I can--if there's a cap you're looking for, please leave a note in the comments section and I'll try to find or make one as time permits.

A quick clarification to yesterday's voting post--only Cingular Wireless text-messaged votes count. Don't have Cingular? Then call, and call again...

A full review of tonight's show later--come on back!
