We have worked hard. the adrenalin is pumping. I got to check out my costume for tonight. Which is pretty cool. not something people are going to expect from me. We have really changed up the look. Hope you like it !
I have to be down in rehearsal in about 20 mins. Believe it or not, this is a little bit more nerve racking than last week. This morning we got to work with the orchestra for the first time. Well after we went through it once. At the same speed as the CD they gave us (ABC picks the music btw), Kym really felt that the tempo of the song was too slow. So boom, she got the orchestra to speed it up.
Easy for them, not so easy for me. Its not a little bit faster, its A LOT faster. Fortunatey , after dress rehearsal, we will have about 90 minutes and kym and i can try to work on the little things that were based on timing. Talk about a challenge !
It still wont change the fact that I am going to go out there and have a blast. HOpefully the smile will be big enough you wont notice if Im a little off in a few places..
And of course, DWTS is all about the vote. I need everyone to get everyone to dial 1 800 VOTE 411 tonight from 8pm EST to 9:30EST and then go to abc.com and register as many addresses as you own and vote for Kym and I !
Here is the link to register
and one more thing. Win Lose or Draw, I can't tell you how important all the posts and emails of support have been over the last week. That have meant a lot to me. Thank you so much !
Time to Go For It !

6. Mark, I just wrote a blog asking all my readers (over 10,000 technology people) to vote for you tonight. Many of them don't watch TV but they do get into voting online. See "Blogger Unite! Vote for Mark Cuban" at

Good luck!
7. Hey, Mark...wish you the best of luck. You already look like you're having fun out there and I really hope after last week's "scare" you stay as long as possible. Keep up the great work. You both look great out there.

13. I am going to call and vote by email for you as many times as I can. What's more stressful? Building a billion dollar empire or dancing in front of America?

14. Mark,
I'm a former IU Foster 7/IU business grad gal, here. I rooted for you whether it was playing Rugby, or dancing at the Silver Dollar. You were enjoying life as you are now. Have fun with this, and don't try too hard at this...the audience will pickup on it. Good luck, Joann

18. Mark,
I've been watching DWTS since the first season (TIVOing it when conflicts with Mavs games arose of course)and you were robbed last week!!! You SO should not have been low man. I won't mention names, but it shouldn't have been you!!
Today is my big 5-0 so I won't be watching live (hubby's taking me out) but you can bet I'll be voting for you. You were really good last week, and I'm sure you'll be really, really good this week, and so on and so on, until you take home that really ugly (but meaningful) trophy!!! Knock 'em dead!

19. Mark,
I too am a former IU Foster Quad alumni (foster 5) and have been voting and cheering for you since the day I found out you were going to be one of the "stars" . I remember you as the "fun guy who knew where the best parties would be."I follow each blog and comment also enjoying feeling a part of your journey. You have such a fantastic attitude and spirit and I hope some of it rubs off on me the more I read about your experiences. GOOOOOO MARK!! DANCE ! DANCE! DANCE!! YOU ROCK HON!

20. Good luck tonight, Mark. There's no way you will be in the bottom 2 this week. Shake a leg!!!

1. Keep up the good work - remember just like the playoffs it's - not a sprint, it's a marathon. Hey, how does an extremely savy, hardworking, intelligent, handsome guy like myself who is the salesmanager of successful environmental company in california get a job working with Mark Cuban. Please advise - in the meantime keep dialed in and good luck.
