Bloggie Campaign 2004

Yup, it’s the beginning of a new year, which means that once again, I’m campaigning for a Bloggie.

The Bloggies are are publicly-chosen awards given to weblog writers and

those related to weblogs. The awards that I think I’m eligible for are:

• Best Canadian Weblog

• Most Humorous Weblog

I

think that 2003 was a helluva year for the weblog, as it featured a

number of entries you’re certainly not going to find anywhere else. To

paraphrase the great actor Troy McClure, you may remember me from such 2003

entries as:

• Accordion vs. Rock Star!
• The blog and my Tucows job interview
• My Carnival of the Canucks marathon:
  • Part 1
  • Part 2
  • Part 3
  • Part 4
  • Part 5
  • Part 6
  • Part 7
  • Part 8
• Meeting sci-fi author Neal Stephenson (here, here and here)
• The Best Accordion Picture Ever
• My Hot Tub pictures
• Worst Date Ever, waxing philosophical about it and the denouement
• The Infamous “New Girl” Story

As well as earlier entries including:

• The one with my trash-talking accountant
• The one where I talk about all my New Year’s Eves since 1989
• The one where the con man visits my house
• The one where the accordion gets me invited to join a stagette in San Francisco
• The one where the accordion saves my ass in customs
• The one where my accordion gets me a job as a go-go dancer
• The one where the accordion gets me a job while I’m on a date
• The one where I buy my friend some crablouse cream for Christmas

Pretty

wild stuff. Can any other blogger boast these acheievemets?

• Has Jason

  Kottke

  ever had to buy crablouse medicine for a friend?
• Has Cory

  Doctorow

  ever had a date end the evening screaming the the fetal

  position?

• Can Doc Searls go-go dance? (I get the feeling that Halley Suitt, Cheyenne and Madison “Moxie” Slade can, however…)
• Has Joi Ito ever been invited into a limo full of women?

Then again, I think Joi has, knowing him.

But that’s not the point. The point is that you get lots of entertainment bang for the no-bucks here at The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century.

All I ask for in return in a Bloggie nomination. Give the above links a

read,  and if you think I deserve a nomination, please head on

over to the Bloggie nomination page and nominate this blog!
