winners announced

Steve Clay­ton announ­ces the win­ners of the “Blue Mons­ter” litho­graph.
I was in my local pub four days ago, han­ging out with an old acquain­tance. Another guy walks in, an Ame­ri­can who my friend knows, who I’ve never met before. We get tal­king. Even­tually the Ame­ri­can asks me what I do for a living. I men­tion the “blog­ging” thing.
“Really?” he says. “My com­pany is a Mic­ro­soft part­ner. There’s a blog­ger I know who works there, named Steve Clay­ton…”
Small world.
[Meanwhile:] Jim Nice, one of the first blog­gers I ever met online, was shop­ping in South Flo­rida the other day, where he stum­bled across a bottle of Stormhoek in the super­mar­ket. Rock on.

    Stormhoek kicks ass — I proudly hos­ted a party this sum­mer and now I see it regu­larly stoc­ked at a store near here in Lenox, MA

  2. Too funny Hugh — the real irony is that I was only sho­wing him the Blue Mons­ter image about 10 days ago and my Hugh busi­ness card!!
    Hope Lon­don is trea­ting you well and vice versa!
