feature: Who? Me?! At the Irish Blog Awards??
No way!
I haven’t really talked about the 2010 Irish Blog Awards, I didn’t talk about it when the nominations came out and I didn’t talk about it when the shortlists came out. I kinda thought that since this is a film review blog it wasn’t really appropriate… plus I was kind of worried that it would seem like I was blowing my own trumpet a bit… But you know what? I don’t care any more – I’m one of the finalists!
I am totally chuffed by this and I really wanted to thank the judges, sponsors and all the people who are organising the awards. I figured writing a little post was the best way of doing this, so thanks folks!
In case you are wondering, I’m in the Best Arts & Culture Blog category which is kindly sponsored by Poetry Ireland. I’ll be heading over to Galway for the Awards on 27th March and I really don’t know what to expect but I’m looking forward to hopefully meeting the rest of the bloggers in my category…

… as well as others from all over the country. I don’t know what my chances are… As you can see from the above, my competition is pretty tough (!) but either way I’m sure it’ll be a great night and I’ve definitely discovered some great new blogs through the process so it’s all good. 
So I guess all that’s left to say is… hope to see you in Galway on Saturday!
Congratulations!
Way to go, and very well deserved indeed.
Congrats, that is fantastic news and best of luck in Galway:)
Fair play. Good luck on the night.
Thanks folks! Being really honest I do think it’s a bit of a long shot but it should be a good night and it’ll be nice to get out of Dublin for a little while – my car could use the run anyway, I think it’s tired of sitting in traffic every morning and evening…
