2008 Burghies, better than a Bloggie
March 15, 2008
It apparently started in the comments section of this blog entry, and when I arrived at a screening of Ghostbusters last night with my very favorite people, I was greeted with wine, a chocolate fountain, and the biggest award I could’ve ever hoped to receive.
“I went all the way to Austin, and all I got was this stupid Burghie.”
I was so surprised that I really couldn’t get many words out, despite the honor of such a prestigious recognition, but if I did present an appropriate acceptance speech, it would probably go something like this:
First I’d like to thank my fairy blogparents for making all of this possible. To my two beautiful children and wonderful husband, thank you for your constant support, and my dear uncle for your guidance. To my representatives, Gallant Management, for guarding my reputation after all those destructive, Keystone-filled evenings, and my fantastic media consultant for keeping me in the know. And, of course, I’d like to thank God.
But really, Dawn, Norm, and Uncle Crappy, I’m thrilled. Thank you.

That’s so awesome, I’m glad you were there and received this! Norm kicked some ass getting this done, and we were hoping you would like it.
I wish I could have seen it, but I wasn’t able to be there. I was in spirit!
(I’m here all night. Try the veal.)

You may have the coolest friends ever.

Congratulations, Rachel! You’ve made us all very proud.
Also, I’m excited to be a fairy godmother. Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!

A Burghie AND a left over giant Twinkie? That’s a pretty good night.

Unlike everything I post on Twitter, rumors of my divinity have been greatly exaggerated.
Congratulations, Mrs. Lizard. You should be proud.

I’m so glad you liked it, Rachel! We all just wanted to let you know how proud of you we are.
And I can just hear you giving that speech in my head. :)
You better watch that giant Twinkie… I hear they’re trouble…

Congrats! We’re proud of you. Very much.

Love you!

Awesome.

Technically I didn’t get it on video, Michael did, but it was my flip cam. I’d like to consider myself the John Stewart of the Burghies. It is a good thing you kept your speech short because we had the music cued up to let you know if you took too much time.
Seriously we are all proud of our local community and when you got robbed we got robbed. Forever Keystones.

I remember that. Does this mean that Dawn and Jennie are our kiddies? hm.

Congratulations!!! That’s very exciting and you do deserve it!
