I won!!!

I won first place and have the plaque and vinyl banner to prove it! Thanks to everyone who voted for me, I was as shocked as anyone could be that I got first place. My friend Jeff Bertrand got 3rd, he is a stellar artist and as I told him, "I look forward to getting my ass kicked" by him next year. My friend Jon won the Biggest Geek superlative and my friend Ramb0 Samb0 of the Nashville Roller Girls won 1st for Most Athletic, beating out The TN Titans AND Nashville Predators TEAMS. Like all of them, combined, PROFESSSIONAL athletes could not hold a candle to the hard-hitting, fast-skating, ridiculous work-out regimen having phenom that is Ramb0. I could go on and on about all my groovy friends that won (like Blackbird Tattoo & Gallery taking home 3rd after only being open for 2 months and the Piper family cementing their food legacy on the east side with a couple of 1st place wins) but I will spare you. The Yazoo brew was especially delicious due to its ice-cold free-ness and the buffet was a bit of a let down after last year's spread, but still delicious. In a bit of redneck, beeriness I shouted out the window as we were leaving the tourist are of downtown, "I'm number one! Wooooo!" and was pleased to get a chorus of random "Wooo's!" in response. It was a good night.
