They really did need security!! Then he ran to the side seats, which were TOTALLY EMPTY and started humping a seat, saying "There are normally more people at our shows."

OMG.......#18! We have to choose?! They're all tragic! :bang:

**Posted:** Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:37 pm

It's going to be hard just choosing one pic in the photo categories. :hrm:

**Posted:** Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:51 pm

Voted! And I'm sure that getting to meet Taika not once but twice this year was an honorable mention for Most Enviable Meet & Greet Photo with a Conchord Cohort. What are we, chopped liver?! :lol:

Only joking.

**Posted:** Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:52 pm

The die is cast.*strikes dramatic pose* :wink:

**Posted:** Sun Jan 02, 2011 8:37 pm

Thank you all for your votes so far! :thumb:

Oh no vmh, you deserved a mention with that photo with Taika! Maybe it's because people were thinking of M&G encounters with Cohorts during the tour? Anyway, I'm certainly envious of that photo.

edit: Haha, I just checked my own rules and I specified that photos have to be M&G photos during the tour. Oh well, it's still an enviable photo.

Aw, vmh. That pic is so perfect!

I'm completely stuck on Best Bret moment....how can I ever choose?!?!? :shock:

They were all amazing. So many of the categories I've narrowed down to two (with great difficulty) and I just can't pick between them. :heart:

Oh well, it's an honor for the selections that don't win just to be nominated...right?

Thanks for all the links to everything, Venus! Woot, girl. :clap:

You made this so slick and easy for us! :supz:

Who nominated me for Biggest Tour Tragedy??? :lol:

...................... ( :tears:

Wait what?

Two pics of me were nominated? I'm totally surprised! Who new such an honor could result from a few glasses of wine and Nonch always ready with her camera.

Some of these categories are so tough. I don't know how I'll choose, but the deliberation will be fun.

Thanks for putting all of this together, Venus! You're a peach!

**Posted:** Mon Jan 03, 2011 5:18 am

I need more time - so many tough choices! :hrm:

Plus, with such a bad short-term memory, :doh:

I need to have this thread open while I vote, so I can reference all of your photos and vids, Venus. :clap:

I didn’t participate so it wasn’t me but it was a tragedy of epic proportion, wasn't it?

My pic nomination was the result of the same.

I have only skimmed the categories so far but re: #24 we can’t really be expected to choose right? The photo of J with kipples is one of my faves but how can any Jemainiac be expected to vote against his big, delicious sugalumps?

We don’t have to vote in every category, right?
