Wow!  Free drinks.  Alright I'll forget the blogging and just take the booze!

 I promise to vote for you- just send the gift card

Well heck, you just bought my vote :-)

Fun idea though and great exposure for your blog. Good luck!

Brian- You can get me a water when I am in D.C. Good luck in your quest for some great bragging rights. ap

I like your style, Brian.........ONLY ONE VOTE (unless you change computers).  LOL!!

Brian, congrats!  I'm also number 2 in my division - zone 4.  You beat me to the drinks, I'll have to come up with a really special incentive!

I voted for both of your blogs in the big matchup.  Good luck!

Votes in!!  Good luck Brian-- glad I was able to vote for you again, I missed it Sunday night.  I will take something cold, non-alcoholic please!!

How on earth did my blog end up in a NVAR contest!  My goodness!  I am proud to vote for both of your blogs, and I even put in one for my own.  Thanks for mentioning it - I never would have guessed.

Great idea, good luck, hope you take first place.

I'll take a cold pepsi, without ice, please. Thanks

Brian- Congrats!  Bravo!  Always enjoy reading what you have to say.  Best of luck!

By the way - a margarita on the rocks no salt.

Good luck Brian, I voted early of course for many of my AR friends, I like Ulta-Carb. How much to run around my neighborhood, log on and vote again.

CINDY:  I'm glad that your blog got nominated to the Brawl as well.  it should be a fun and interesting tournament of blogs.

JUDY:  Thanks for your comment and vote.

COLLEEN:  Thanks for your comment.  I do think that this Blog Brawl will provide some additional exposure both locally and maybe even nationally.

KATERINA:  Thanks for your comment and hopefully your votes.  Do you take still or sparkling?  Evian, Perrier, or Poland Spring?

TCHAKA:  You know you've got a beer or two coming to you next time you are in town.  Maybe catch a Nationals game at the new stadium?

MICHELLE:  Congratulations on making it into the tournament.  I'm sure you'll come up with a good incentive to entice some votes.

JASON:  Thanks a bunch, buddy.  I'll keep you posted.

CANDACE:  Thanks for your vote.  I certainly appreciate it.  Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Lemonade, or Iced Tea?

MARGARET:  Someone (or at least more than a few) must have nominated you.  Congratulations on getting in and for your votes.  I also voted for you in the first round of the tournament.

HAL:  Thanks for your comment.  One Pepsi coming right up.

NANETTE:  Thanks for the cheers and the compliment.  And also thanks for your vote -- I appreciate it.  For you, only the best tequila.

MISSY:  Thanks for your vote.  I'll throw in a chocolate dessert of your choice if you decide to log in elsewhere.

Ok buddy boy...I posted this on the brawl parking lot...but wanted to be sure you had a peek.

let's see...Brian sends a note asking for support AFTER the nominations have closed. OK...I get that...I just went out and took control of the name of my next blog..."I am chopped liver"....watch for it. Sorry, feathers are ruffled. I see, Jay, "Mr. Motorfingers" has somehow secured notice..hm hm..born in Virginia. So the hierarchy will read Jefferson, Madison...Thompson ??????? Damn it, side tracked again. Well, since Block failed to nominate me, I will just have to drop him two pity votes and move on. After all, thenakedrealtor.info has not had a new post since the market got busy...that's right, over on this side of the river...we have buyers!
love ya kids

Brian - hummm, neat way to get those votes!!!

Brian,

How were they seeded? Just by the number of nominations? RainCityGuide and BHB were both seeded like 8 or 9? Wow...........OK, my votes are in, although I did have to do some research. There were a couple I had never heard of. I wouldn't be a responsible voter if I just picked based on which name I liked better..........(OK, on a couple match-ups that's what I did, but don't tell anyone) 

Oh yeah, I regret to inform you that I have to block your email address now that you have sent me what essentially amounts to spam, hahahaha! 

Isn't Bob Stewart a funny guy:-)  Mr. Block, I voted for you and will be attending the tailgate party in spirit, my spirit tends to drink like a fish so I will apologize for the tab in advance.

Methinks your Association is well ahead of the curve with this one...

I may be in your neck of the woods this summer.  Be prepared to pay up!

Brian, I tried to vote early and often, but even just the "early" part I kept getting an error message. 

Brian, Congratulations, and I am game for helping out all I can.  Save the drink for later for me.

JOHN:  Thanks for your fun comment -- I saw that over in the Blog Brawl Parking Lot.  I do appreciate your two pity votes...

BILL & BARBARA:  You gotta do what you gotta do.  This is a competition!

BOB:  Thanks for checking in and voting -- it seems like a pretty fun idea that our Virginia Association has come up with.  The blogs were seeded by the number of nominations.  It was great to see so many familiar Active Rainers onboard.  

Oh, and I'm very disappointed that you've blocked my e-mail -- I had tons of chain letters, internet jokes, and invitations to other social networking sites that I was just about to send you :) 

JASON:  The way it's looking now, I might have to rent out an entire local tavern on St. Patrick's Day to get in all these drink requests.  I hope that means I'm getting lots of votes.  Thanks.

JEFF:  The Virginia Association is definitely ahead of the curve.  I've met the guys in charge and they are a young, energetic bunch of bright fellows.  I'm looking forward to more good things from the Virginia crew.

STEVE:  Definitely give me a ring when you come to town.  It'll be my pleasure to buy you a beer, or any other libation.

PAT:  I know they were having some bugs with the voting system.  Voting irregularities, I guess you call it.  Maybe you can try again later.

RAY:  Thanks for the comment and for your support.
