When I click on the Contact Us button the modal window flashes once then disappears. What's up?

I don't know if there is a deeper issue with my code but I can't seem to get my modal window to stay visible. It opens and then immediately closes.

Short answer is that the bootstrap.js is being loaded twice.

If you go into /wp-admin > settings > BS Shortcodes, uncheck "load twitter bootstrap javascript file" (since we included that in functions.php
