Bryson Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 The BlueToe Awards For all those who missed my rather inept and slightly alcohol-enhanced presentation of the BlueToe Awards yesterday, I'll try and repeat it here in text: Speel Clunker AwardNow, this was the award I looked after, and I got a somewhat less than impressive three nominations, for three different people.. So, in no particular order, the worst abusers of the English language are: BenMattand the wildcard, James, for the single act of claiming that his gig was performed "Anally" Best "Ooops" StoryThis award was administered by Thirdtap. Unfortunately, by the time came to announce this one, he'd forgotten any of the reasoning behind why the winners won. Hopefully he'll elaborate for us later. So, the winners, for unstated reasons, were: BrysonJames C Best DistractionI'm afraid that it's another three-way split here - but at least we know the reasons for this one! The winners were: Kevin Robertson - for the penguin whacking game.Beccy_D - for the Roadies gameBryson - for Googlism On a personal note, I think that Kevin is the moral victor there, as most of us have done nothing else since he posted the damn thing... Most Helpful Company RepA proper award here, with nominations and an overall winner and everything. It even came in an envelope manufactured by Peter on the train! So, the Nominations are: The ETC Team (Iain Quinn, Erik Larsen etc)Potassium Neuf for Zero 88Pat Sevenforthree for StrandIain Ferguson for AC Lighting And the winner is: Potassium Neuf Most Helpful MemberA runaway winner here: no nominations, the winner took almost all of the votes. Presented in a beautifully-crafted envelope (I believe Fiona will be doing the envelopes for the Oscars later in the year) and written in glitter pen in huge letters, the winner is: Brian Brian is now the proud possessor of one of the only two Blue LED maglites in the country (the LEDs are blue, not the maglite) kindly provided by Wavicle. (Which, it transpires, I can't pronounce.) There were also some LED pens for the winners of the other prizes. So, there we go. The first BlueToe awards. People should get their title appended to their profile quite soon. Many thanks to everyone who voted and to all of our 652 (at time of writing) members for making the Blue Room as successful as it is. A special note of thanks goes to Lightnix and Wavicle for supporting the awards. Looking forward to next year!
Kevin Robertson Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I would like to thank all the Blue room staff for all their hard work in helping me win this award. I would also like to thank my producer, director, production manager and my agent, oh and all the little crew people. B-) Cheers guys :) :( :D
Brian Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I've been trying to think of something to say about my award but I've been too gobsmacked. Just a big thanks to everyone who voted for me and to congratulate all the other winners. I'd also like to thank lightnix and wavicle for a seriously cool prize. B-) :) :(
James Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 And what can I possibly say, only I hope this isn't an anally administered award, I mean annually administered... James
Potassium Neuf Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Je suis un chien très heureux :) Edit 6 Feb: The Wavicle Pen with a very bright BLUE light arrived in the post yesterday ... thanks guys B-)
James C Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Well, thanks to the many thousands of you considered me (jointly with Bryson) the biggest technical diaster area out of our 621 members :o And a big thanks to Peter for making my new status so discreet - Didn't fancy a tag next to all my posts saying James CBiggest Technical Disaster B-) :) :( And a Thank you to Lightnix, too, for a very cool prize that is right up there with my all-time favourite widgets :D P.S. Where's Bryson's new moniker, so that he can carry his share of the shame/glory associated with our award?
