So you'll never guess what happened. I was out and about today and wondered into a high-security truck which was carrying a list with all of Sunday Night's Oscar winners. Your guess as to what they were doing in Vancouver is as good as mine but I went ahead and copied all the right answers. Here they are:
That story is as likely as a Psychic pulling the answers out of the ether but whatever. Truth is, I'll be around regardless of where you are. If you're in Vancouver, I'm hosting a party, complete with prizes, at La Fontana (Big Kudos to John for allowing us to use his space). 'Cuz I know you wanna hang out with the cool people, details on the party
here. But you can only come if you're cool. Like, ULTRA COOL.
If you're not in Vancouver or prefer to watch the show in your pajamas with a cutout of Robert Pattinson as your special guest for the night, you can tune into our Oscar Chat at
Row Three. It'll kick off on Sunday at 4:30PM and you can join that without having to remove yourself from Rob's strong cardboard hold.
And I promise not to leave you all for such an extended period of time ever again. Or at least until next time.
I was thinking about it this morning and realized that I haven't posted my Oscar predictions yet. As they say, better late than never.
A note on these, they're not necessarily who I would like to win but who I think will win. Clear as mud? Good. Here we go:

Canada's Best Vlog/Podcast is....................................
Not us!
Ok, it's true, we didn't wing but we didn't die either. After the Credits actually did quite well (considering we've only been going for a year!) taking the 4th spot out of a field of 20 with 11.3% of the votes. Thanks to everyone who headed over there and showed us some love! :)
Results for our category are here while the results for every category can be found on the main page.
Thanks again everyone and I can't wait to take another run at it next year!
Last week I asked for help from you, the lovely readers, in regards to a few awards that we were up for. I'd like to start off by saying "Thank You" for taking the time to vote - I do really appreciate it.
The Best of 604 festivities took place last night and it was a fun evening. It was particularly fun to put faces to names I've seen and had contact with around the web and the night was a huge success, raising $1,800 for the Food Bank.
The wonderful Miss 604, has the skinny on the winners and though we didn't win, it was a great honour to be mentioned among the likes of Kerry Anne and Airdrie's "Lip Gloss and Laptops" and the brilliant Dave Olson's "Postcards from Gravelly Beach".
Again, thanks to everyone who voted for us, everyone who came out to the event and the wonderful Rebecca for organizing the entire thing.
And because no tech related event is complete without it, pictures from the night (tagged "bestof604") can be found over at Flickr. Believe it or not, it was a better time than it looks!
Asking for help is not my forte though when I have to, I don’t mind asking. The hurdle I can’t seem to get over is the asking for help over the web. It doesn’t feel quite right – like it’s not quite personal enough but frankly, I need your help.
After the Credits, the podcast that I cohost with the fabulous Dale and Colleen is getting some attention and has been nominated for 2 great awards.
Canadian Blog Awards
This is one I didn’t nominate us for but found out about it via
Hummingbird604. I was a bit surprised but passed it along to all my friends thinking we’d never make it past the nomination round. Go figure, they voted for us and we did make it to the finals. I urge you to take a quick moment and head over there to
vote for us! Yes, it’s an honour to be nominated but it would be even
better to win!
Vote for “Row Three” HERE!
Best of 604
The other set of awards is the Best of 604 which is organized by Vancouver blogger extraordinaire
Miss604. This one, I’m not ashamed to say, I nominated myself but then, I figured that with the rich (and it’s
very rich) community, we’d be among a list of a few dozen. Surprisingly, we’re in the running among a rather small group which is both exciting and terrifying. What does make me feel better: it’s a very elite group.
Vote for “After the Credits” HERE!
So please, my one request for the year, head on over there and share in the love! And feel free to pass along the link – the more the merrier! ;)
Just got word that the movie website has been nominated for the Blogger's Choice awards.
If you love us too, be sure to give us a vote! :)
