It’s awards season again. And this time I’m actually a finalist for one. The 2007 Travvies are run by Upgrade: Travel Better and an as yet unrevealed series of events has landed me in the category of Best Single-Author Travel Blog.
Regular readers know that I’m not opposed to popularity contests, especially if it means that I become even more popular, which as far as I’m concerned is the ultimate revenge on everyone that went to my junior high. So please, please, please, please, pretty please with wine on top, go vote. Preferably for me.
Oh, and there’s some very interesting reading among the other finalists, but you can look into that after you vote for me or next month or whenever is convenient.
In closing, please vote.
For me.
Ideally right now.
I just tested it. It takes exactly three seconds to vote for me. If you decide to investigate and vote for other finalists, well you’re doing that on your own time, buddy.
UPDATE: Voting is over and I didn’t win. You’d know if I won, because there’d be pictures of me dancing naked on the streets of Oristano floating around the AP Wire. I suppose I should have made that clear during voting to get the edge. Some guy calling himself the “Cranky Flier” stole my thunder. Cranky my ass. I got your cranky right here, jackhole. Seriously, it’s a good blog (so I hear, I’m still too consumed with work to give it a proper read) and I congratulate him, even if I’m funnier, better looking and more likely to dance nekkid in public than he is (according to my agent).
Hey Leif,
for me, one of the good things of being nominated is finding new gems -like your blog- in the other categories. You definitely got my vote, keep up making me smile..
Voted for you, you popularity whore.
well, I don’t know if I can vote for you in good faith without checking out the other blogs first.
… and by the way, did you nominate yourself!?!
check. and just think, i almost didn’t check your blog out today…
congrats!
Harry – Thank you. I’m on a bus to Rome airport now, but when I find a real internet connection I intend to thoroughly check out the competition.
Evan – Kiss, kiss. Thanks again for your help in making my blog look slightly less effed. Ready to suffer through a theme change with me?
Lucas – No I did not nominate myself! Primarily because no one told me that this was happening, otherwise, yes, I would have entered myself five times under just as many pseudonyms. That’s guerilla marketing baby. In fact, I’ve tracked back a bit and discovered that Tim Leffel, editor of Perceptive Travel magazine (www.perceptivetravel.com), nominated me. Best editor ever.
Ellascat – Thank you and tell Ella I say hi.
You are a very clever ducky. I’m glad to find your stuff… and vote for you.
Good luck!
I sat here and was counted… I voted. Hope you win. I always like backing a winner!
@ Leif
Got my vote.
Succes! keep up the good work!
@ Harry
U got my vote as well as a fellow Dutchman:-)
please no more theme changes!
i read the cranky flier its not nearly as good.. hose job
Hmm, it’s tempting to challenge you to a public dance off sans clothing, but I think I’ll defer to you on this one. Trust me, nobody wants to see me naked.
Anyway, I’m certainly glad to have found your blog through this process. I’ve got your feed on my reader.
Jackhole-y Yours,
Cranky Flier
