Tooting Our Own Dumb Horn
THIS JUST IN: Dumb As A Blog is a SXSW Web Awards finalist in the blog category! See all the finalists here.
For those of you that don't know the SXSW Interactive Festival, let's just say it's the Oscars for nerds.
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony Sunday, March 15 in Austin, TX.
I am so excited I've started drinking already! Coffee, but still, it's the thought that counts, right?
I am totally going and will blog from there for sure. What to wear? Unlike stars at the Academy Awards, designers aren't lining up to get us to wear their gowns. I can always break out my BeDazzler!
And if we win, what will we say during the acceptance speech? Will we go the Gwyneth Paltrow route and cry all over our statuette? Maybe channel Roberto Benigni and tell the audience we want to make love to them on Mars? Act like Brando and send a Native American to explain why we can't accept their award? Do a Jack Palance and show off with one-handed push ups?
No, scratch that last one. We're web people -- most of us get winded programming the DVR to record Most Daring. (Which, my promo gene compels me to tell you, is an all-new episode tonight at 9PM e/p on truTV.)
But seriously, we have no idea what we'd say, but rest assured, it will be something dumb for sure.

Congrats! I just voted for your blog for the People's Choice Award at SXSW too!

My condolences on your loss. Hey, *I* voted for you - numerous times, and I've never heard of the blog that won. Hrumph.
