I saw that the XYZZYNews page has been updated with the announcement for the live awards ceremony – Tomorrow (Sunday, March 4th) at 5:00 PM Eastern (which would be 4:00 Central, 3:00 Mountain, 2:00 Pacific).
---- Mike.
Good luck to everyone up for an award.

I almost slept through it. And I’m not sure anybody believed that I just happened to log in right as they were presenting for Best Story. [emote]Smile[/emote] Does look kinda suspicious in retrospect, but seriously, it just worked out that way.
Thanks for posting the winners. I had forgotten to follow it up here.
