I say we take it to the extreme.

I vote that we make campaign gear and hold a debate, suits and all, in a very public place (like at First Thursday) and hype the hell out of that.

Or we take turns protesting each other in front of the Capitol building.

Or both.
(and more...)

This could be the great "event" like PR we've been looking for.

Pgraph is ready to sling a little mud for the good of the community.

virally spread word through MySpace

Don't worry, people have been doing this for days. I'm getting about 3 gdamn bulletins an hour requesting I vote for one troupe or another. Some of them from the same people that think I must have forgotten about the bulletin they sent 3 hours ago.

Wes, you're fired!

*Sigh*

If it makes you feel any better this is the only place I've said that and I didn't remember it when casting my own ballot. I voted for OoB. Speaking of, has OoB sent out a MySpace plea for votes for BEst Festival yet?

Please vote The Texas Travesty for best non-chronicle publication! We've gotten it for the past couple years, but it'd sure be swell to win again.

I did just that, Jill.

Vote for Marc Gunn for best DJ!

No, but ACL is wining that one anyway. Or SXSW, but my money is on ACL. Some day, babies.

Until then, might I humbly suggest you consider voting Knuckleball, since I am now dead and gone, and a posthumous victory would cement my legacy in Austin.

Austin Books. Best Comic Book store. That's all I'm going to say...
