Last day for Rondo voting

So get those votes in!

It's funny--I'd like to think the horror blogosphere has finally come down with a salutary case of "award fatigue," but the Rondos have been around longer than most (online, anyway) and earned their cred, as far as I'm concerned, so I don't mind pimping them. You can vote for Groovy Age if you want; I've never won in years when I've made a big push for it, and don't expect to this year, when I haven't.

The one endorsement I really want to make is in the Best Fan Event category. Please vote for the Boris Karloff Blogathon, which Frankensteinia did such an outstanding job of organizing, hosting, and promoting, with truly knock-your-socks-off results in terms of both quantity and quality. I'm proud to have participated, first in a fun collaboration (one, two) with Kimberly Lindbergs of Cinebeats (also up for a Rondo in Best Horror Blog category), and then in my take on Karloff's role as the wurdalak in Mario Bava's Black Sabbath. If this thing wins, as I believe it deserves to, that's honor enough for me.

Thank you, Curt. No Rondo award for us, but I am happy to report that the Karloff Blogathon made the Top Five in the face of fierce competition, and we — all of us who participated — earned an honorable mention.
