More notes on ABDC: finale votes, ICONic Boyz & IaMmE news, ABDC7(?)

Freeze wrote a comprehensive review of his impressions of the taping (click here to read). I want to share facts I picked up at the finale and in conversations with crews and other ABDC people:
--Over 50 million votes were cast this week, and that's before the final night of voting (between the taping on Thursday night and the polls closing on Friday morning)
--Though the final two crews are exhausted, there's no rest for either one:.
  • ICONic Boyz fly back to New Jersey on Friday morning, rehearse for an ICONIC show on Saturday, perform on Sunday, and will watch the finale at the ICONIC dance studio along with the rest of the ICONIC dancers.
  • On Friday, IaMmE will tape a new LXD episode. They are performing as a crew on that show, though I didn't find out anything about the characters they will play
--IaMmE members are indeed relocating to Los Angeles
--No news yet on America's Best Dance Crew Season 7. Given the great ratings and heavy voting, many of the people involved in the show's creation are feeling very hopeful that there will be a new season and there's already some thought (but no definite plans) about how it might differ from earlier seasons
