4th Annual Kinsem Awards

[Buffymommy]

who is going to get "Poster of the Year"....

Sounds like fun! Whatever you guys want to call is is fine!

ok, let's just do what the eclipse votes on
no individual poster awards, as in the past ppl have had their feelings hurt
and that's not what we were shooting for on conception, nor what SB wants
like Scavs said, it's a new era on derby trail
why don't we leave it the coveted "Kinsem"
as a tribute to Pennsylvania Johnny
cool with everybody? ok we need someone to tally

Since it's open to all, probably should vote first on name and format (catagories included) and then vote for selections.

I think of some awards and then get them approved with Steve

Fine, then have your little party...I thought the idea was to encourage folks to participate? If it means that much to you to dictate things then have fun!

I thought those awards at ESPN when many of us were there were very nice. I don't recall anyone having their feelings hurt at all. It was a nice tradition, and this board is one million times better but owes much of its success to the mass exodus of ESPN posters who got this place up and flying immediately, which I 'm sure helped make it all the more appealing to folks who stopped by and came onboard.
It Steve's place and his decision Scav, but Somer started those a long time ago.

Actually, while I helped a bit, I didn't actually start them...I thought Chris did but it could have been Coach. I thought Chris because of Kincsem...his favorite as well as mine! I don't care how it's done, if it's done but I agree that the poster awards were nice! We didn't use all the cats, just horses, trainers, jocks and owners as I recall (probably breeders too)....but i think if the goal is to have everyone participate, one person shouldn't dictate! Other than stating that opinion, I have no intention of getting involved in pettiness!

I for one am not going through 17 awards to vote for it.

I worded it wrong, my bad

What I am saying is Somer did a real good job coming up with those awards and the categories.Its very disprespectful to him.
