Frustration

Originally, I'd planned on tallying the votes from the Midnight Sun Resurrection Can Photoshop Contest (also known as MSRCPC) and announcing a winner yesterday. That obviously hasn't happened yet.

Even though I told people to only vote once, there were more than a few cases where people voted two and even three times. So I have to go back and double-check all 80-some comments for the IP addresses, compare them, and then tally the votes. ...

This is harder than it sounds, because our blog software is straight out of 1986. It is taking me forever. I apologize for the wait. However, I do have some good news: This week's nightlife column is all about the contest, and the winner and at least two runners up will have their photos printed in the paper.

So sit tight, gang. I know you're all anxious about the results. I know I am, at least. That's something.

Don't look at me, dude. I didn't even vote except after the deadline, and that wasn't a real "vote" anyway.

Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

If someone voted more than once you should strike all their votes. Punitive!

When is your nightlife column published? The Sun's website is horrible for finding things

Sounds like Brewer's Art has there next Ale: "Frustration"
I can see the tag line now: "Having a bad day? Try a Frustration".

And they wouldn't even have to brew a new beer. Just put in a keg of Bud Light and relabel the tap.
