I just wanted to remind everyone that the Third Annual Satin Pajama Awards are out and that it’s time to vote!

* * *

David asked me to help out with the nominations this year, so I submitted some candidates for the “Best Southeastern Weblog category” (Belgrade 2.0, Balkan Baby, Our Man in Tirana, Neretva River, Anegdote, The Balkan Yankee and Illyrian Gazette) and the “Best Expatriate Category.” (Isoglossia, Loxias, Our Man in Tirana, and The Copy Dude.) I like all of these blogs — and not just physically. I like them for who they are inside. And in case anyone is wondering, I also tried to pick blogs that haven’t appeared in the contest before, which is why I left out some big guns like East Ethnia or histologion etc…

The interesting question now is whether Slovenia can manage a trifecta. So far, there has always been a winner from here, thanks to La Poulette’s rip-roaring victory last year. For this illustrious tradition to continue, Isoglossia would have to win the expatriate category this time around. Right now, he’s trailing Meg of Le Blagueur a Paris.

Interestingly, Meg’s got a ringing endorsement from blogging heavyweight Petite Anglaise. Most of you probably won’t remember this, but it was PA and Carniola that went head-to-head in the first award competition, during which Carniola unwittingly and suspiciously won.

Now it seems that we’re again (indirectly) up against one another. History repeats itself, as they say. I’m not sure if this time will be tragedy or farce but I suppose we’ll see.

At any rate, go show Slovenia and Isoglossia some love and go vote!

UPDATE: It smells like victory. And I love that smell. So does A. Medved, whose victory speech is here. It doesn’t end with a hooah but oh well. Big congrats to all the winners, and hooray for Slovenia’s three consecutive years of victory!

    Well, this is turning out to be a good deal more exciting than I first realized. Thanks for the backstory, Michael. It sheds interesting light on what we’re up against.

    For those who are not obsessively refreshing the results page, isoglossia (hereafter ‘Slovenia’) began in last place, and has gradually been closing on the leader, Le Blagueur a Paris (hereafter ‘France’), as the grassroots support of our small but deranged readership fans out. Michael’s endorsement yesterday caused an immediate bump which eventually pushed us into a strong second place, so it’s clear that Slovenia (hereafter ‘New Europe’) could indeed once again unhorse France (’Old Europe’).

    Or at least I can try to out-whore this Paris blogger FOR SLOVENIJA!

    (Disclosure: isoglossia, A. Medved, and sgazzetti are the same person, mostly).

    I have the utmost confidence in patriotic Slovenian bloc voting.

    The southeastern category also seems to be shaping up into a Zagreb-Belgrade showdown, which has the potential of getting very intense, very fast.

    Pengovsky,
    Only voted once?
    Hmmm. Philly ballot-stuffing must nto have been one of the products being exported to Slovenia.
    Early & Often, Sir.

    Early and Often.

    I voted from work and now when I voted also from my home computer I’ve noticed that “we” are leading. Issoglosia 38% Blagueur 33%. :) Congrats! :P

    Michael,

    Wouldn’t you say that Balkan Baby is the best blog in the world?

    Certainly worthy of a vote or two?

    I’m joking, but I must say that my finger is getting pretty tired from pressing the refresh button.

    Balkan Baby is trailing by 2%… help!

    Take care,
    Ed.
