*ahem* I can't help but notice that most of this stuff seems to go to East Coast faires and groups. I'm just sayin' that I think Midwest folk need to get in on this and be represented, ya know? It's all about the numbers, folks.
Not to mention that, Queen's Gambit didn't get nominated nor did any of the other nifty bands we know and love, like Three Pints Gone or Tullamore. There are lots of wonderful musical groups not on there that should be, and musical solo acts and comedy acts. The same 4-5 acts and shows get nominated over and over again; how about some new blood in there?
So far as categories go, I personally think there need to be more musical categories, in addition to "Best Musical Group" and "Best Musical Soloist" 'cause there is no way that Celtic bands and say, Pirate Bands, should be in the same category; truly like comparing apples and oranges. Also should be a category for "Musical Duo" 'cause I wanna vote for "Ezra and Dilly" but you know I'm voting for Queen's Gambit, right? But maybe that's just me.
Blatant Plug: Please go and vote for Queen's Gambit for "best musical group" and please to vote for "Castle Queen's Side" as best new CD! (Yes, a nomination and a vote is the same thing.)
(Huh, there's a category for "Best Royalty"...that's new. *hint hint*)
Read the rules and go vote...
