Last year, this blog didn't win a "Mobbie", the award given by the Baltimore Sun for Maryland's Outstanding Blogs. (See, MOB? Mobtown? Mobbies?) My take is that the one and only reason why that didn't happen, is because this blog wasn't nominated for any Mobbie categories. Which is as natural as Warren Miller being inducted into Mensa.
This year, a wrong has been righted. Sorry, Warren.
53 Beers on Tap has been nominated for TWO, count 'em, TWO, categories for the 2011 Mobbies: Best Howard Blog (as one of eleven such nominated blogs, each one a local blog heavyweight in it's own right, though there can only be one juggernaut), and Best Humor Blog (at least someone gets the semi-satirical nature of this blog)
So starting tomorrow, give this blog the gift that keeps on giving. The gift of victory! Go to the Sun's website and vote early and often, as much as the laws of the contest, common sense and gravity allow! I personally intend to vote Avogadro's Number of times, which, as we all know, is 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power, for the Beers. That's a lot of votes.
Commence au festival!!!
If this blog wins a mobbie, that reflects very poorly on the mobbies.

Bell, I can see we're gonna have fun together.
If this blog wins a mobbie, it will be well-deserved. If some other blog wins, it will be well-deserved too.
Oh, and news flash, Bellster: Mobbie voters aren't critics! They're readers and writers of blogs. This is supposed to be a fun exercise, this Mobbie thing. Try to have fun.
