The 4th Annual Geekscape Awards
It’s that time of the year again, December 25th is just around the corner and it’s a truly important day. No I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking about the debut of Geekscape four years ago. So as we reach the end of 2010, we also reach the end of yet another year. We’re closing in on 200 episodes (more episodes than your average sitcom’s life line… take that Seinfeld) and come January 2011 there will be our annual party and awards ceremony. Lucky for you our awards ceremony tends to look like this.
The best part is that the winners are selected from YOU, the readers, listeners and forum members! We’ve provided a short list of highlights nominated by you guys but anything is game! If we’re missing any of your favorites, post them in the comments! Mark down your favorite in each category and e-mail them to Geekscape by midnight PST on January 1st! The clock is ticking so get out there!
