[size=large]Hey[/size] I tried to raffle off a B-52 but that Idea got dumped on real quick!

I know I know sour grapes but I really tried to do a nice thing for charity!

Perhaps there should be catagories.
Producer: Immtbiker for Herculean efforts in organizing the 2006 International Meet.
Documentary: Any one of Adhoc, Hirsch, Sacd Lover and Carl, I learn a lot from these guys.
Stunts: Patrick82, taking everything to the extreme.
Special Effects: Duggeh, Phonodome, need I go on?
Postscript: Scrypt, never has my OED been as well thumbed
Gear Photography: Akwok, inspires gearlust every time.

I concur...
Producer: Immtbiker
Best Food category: BrownieGirl

imho

You.

Just kidding.

That is an easy one Patrick82......

I would have like to vote for Patrick (that's a joke OK?), but thinking twice I think that Aaron (Immtbiker) deserves all our respect, given all his effort to materialized the First International Headfi Meeting, so another vote for him...!!!!

Jahn, for his super post count!

Edwood... All Hail the Edbot!

Oh come on you're all falling for Aaron's plan! He really only did it for the chicks.

What no nominations for JaGWiRE!!!!

Gets my vote.

I agree with the nomination for Immtbiker, but lets not forget Tyll Hertsens. He was a huge part of the first national meet as well.

Afrikane has certainly been very generous, as has ASR.

My personal nomination goes to swt61 and looser101... my head-fi parents.

Their guidance and help has been invaluable to me.

I think this list is right on target. Tyll also belongs in the nominee group. He went way beyond the call of duty and spent countless hours helping Aaron with the national meet. Major props are due for his/Headroom's cotinued support of Head-Fi in many ways!

In addition to Jude's normal leadership role in the administration of the entire site, he made some especially noteworthy contributions this year in terms of the significant technological upgrades that were implimented. It takes more than just vision, it also takes a lot of time, effort, and money to make these things happen.

As for the money part of "making things happen" for the site, many thanks are due to John Grado and Todd the Vinyl Junkie, and to Jan Meier, for their HF-1 and Head Five initiatives, respectively. As Jude has acknowledged here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=209149, without these thoughtful and generous contributions, Head-Fi would not be nearly as future-proof, and would also be much slower!

What Afrikane did with his giveaways in 2006, which came compeletly out of the blue to everyone, was just amazing! Enough said.

But ya, Aaron gets my vote! Not just for all of his time and effort in putting together the national meet, but for his mere willingness to do so to begin with. Essentially, he had a great idea, and had the courage to immediately start a thread about it without first thinking, "No, wait a minute, this is going to mess up my life for several months!" So thanks for hitting the "Submit New Thread" button and then sticking with it through the thick and thin. Things like this only have to happen once, and then everything is set in motion for years to come!

I'd like to nominate tyrion for a Special Commendation Award, for his selfless and highly effective efforts to organize several South Florida meets.

Hmmm, not sure how to take that. On one hand it's flattering, on the other hand I sound ancient.

However I guess I need to face the fact that I am old enough to have a son your age. Does this mean I can count on your financial support in my old age?
