I lost today … but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

November 9th, 2008

The winners for the podcast awards were just announced and in the General category we lost to this: http://www.myextralife.com/

I’ll have to check this guy’s site out at some point. I suppose in the future it would be wise to commission my brother to make a few more web-comics for the site. I’d like to thank all of you who voted for the podcast (especially all of you that voted more than once).

We’ll keep on keepin’ on.

Film Junk also lost which is suspect because that podcast is the bee’s knees. check them out here: http://www.filmjunk.com/
