And now, for the trivia contest! The first folks to get right answers into the diary comments win the prize listed below. At least until I post the answers, then the game is over. And I'll do that whenever I get around to it. Let's say late Monday (and no, front pagers are NOT eligible. Buy yer own GMD schwag). Hard trivia question: What was the first prominent national blog to put a link to GMD on its blogroll? PRIZE: A GMD bumper sticker!!! (Answer: MyDD.com) Really hard trivia question: What local political figure stepped up to speak for Vermont Democrats by saying the following about GMD - "some of the local Dems are starting to get turned off on this site and the hate that is begining to spew here" ? PRIZE: A GMD mug!!! (Answer: Former VT GOP Director and current head of the housing section of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Tayt Brooks!) Super-amazingly hard GMD trivia question: When the blog first started, there were four people who agreed to be front pagers - myself, kestrel9000 (then blogging under the username Ed Garcia), Jack McCullough, and 1 other person who never posted a diary, and informed me a couple weeks in that she just couldn't make the commitment after all. Who was this person? (Note: There's no way in hell anybody could know this... I don't know if Jack would even remember, so just go for the wild guesses - you might get lucky). PRIZE: A GMD sweatshirt!!! (Answer: Former Windham County Democratic Committee Chair, Lynn Bedell!) UPDATED (& hijacked by) Caoimhin: Birthday Announcement & Update, after the flip . . .
