    Congrats, Bev! So exciting! Thanks for sharing the promotional poster/announcement with us. I hope you get to hear your name & book called!

    Don't be silly--of course it will.

    All of us have faith in you.

    I just found out that the Awards ceremony is going to be recorded by The Horror Channel.

    From what I have seen on the web you appear to be the odds on favourite in the nonfiction category!
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Does this mean people are betting on me?! Where can I get a piece of that action?

    One million days? hmmmmmm...I'm betting on it being the next millenium, Andy!  ;) hehe



    My clock shows the days and hours and minutes and seconds.

    I think the javascript picks up the date and time from your end, so if it's showing something wonky it must be fetching a strange date value from you!

    That's about what mine has, too. But my date and time in the top right corner are correct.



    I noticed with the counter when you had it a while ago that it seems to dislike "non-standard" browsers: It would be correct with Explorer, but Opera or Firefox, not so much.



    Edit: Yep. If I open this page in Explorer, the countdown clock isn't wonky.

    Free JavaScript gadget -- I got what I paid for!!

    See Gary Braunbeck's predictions about who will win the Stokers.

    I leave today at 5pm for the Stokers! Damn, I'm excited!
  • CRinVACRinVA
    Jonathan report in when you get a chance!
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and won't be around the board until Monday, probably, when I'll have a report, too.

    Have fun everyone!



    I am using Firefox and am getting the outrageous clock.

    Have a great weekend, guys :)

    Here is the list of winners. Stephen King and I have something in common; neither of us won! It was a fun weekend all the same, and I'll have more to say about it, along with photos, tomorrow.

    Sorry to hear you didn't win, but sounds like a great time was had by all! Cool seeing you and Jonathan as presenters!


  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Jonathan was a "recipient" -- he accepted on behalf of Lee Thomas.

    Bah. What do they know? :D... well Bev, you couldn't be in better company and neither could he. ;) Anyways, love the pix and you and Jonathan look awesome in a tux! (I think I saw Jonathan before all decked out, but not you!).... glad you got to experience the weekend!

    Sorry to hear that Bev. I am sure Hellnotes is a fine piece of work but the category seems unbalanced when books and reoccuring publications are considered equal.
