Fivepeat?

Thanks to everyone who voted for Five Hundy by Midnight in the Best Las Vegas Podcast category for the 2010 Trippies this year, we won for the fifth consecutive year. I’ve said it before and it holds true today: We’re surprised anyone listens to this rambling mess, much less cares about it enough to vote for it to win an award. We are honored. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We would like to congratulate Admiral Hunter H. Hillegas III for winning a shitload of Trippies this year as well. His posts on Twitter and his work on RateVegas.com, Two Way Hard Three and, of course, Vegas Mate (it’s really great) earned him several well-deserved honors. We’re privileged to be your friends. Cheers.
