I have the Power of Schmooze

Both SamuraiFrog from Electronic Cerebrectomy and Becca from No Smoking in the Skullcave gave me this fancy award:



It is the Power of Schmooze Award. And as the nature of the award is meant to reward 5 peers who are rather good at not only building their own communities, but enriching the entire blogosphere with their presence, and that is a tall order, isn't it. But I know of 5 bloggers that more than fit that description.

So the 5 winners from Culture Kills country are:

Dutchy from The Dutch Files - Yvonne has nominated me for awards, encouraged me to keep pushing forward on the comics and she has put together a solid community, one that has carried over through multiple web addresses.

Hilly from Snackie's World - Not only is Hilly a simply awesome per-blogger and Homerphile who has cultivated an expansive group of peers into a wonderful circle of friends, but she is also a collaborative blogger in the wonderful world of TV blogging. It is quite impressive.

Mr. Fabulous of Pointless Drivel - The dude runs multiple blogs, has a radio show, and is keeping pace in the wild world of Transmundanity... how could he not be a schmoozer?

Jen from Casual Slack - She is like the cornerstone of a comedic empire. It is amazing, it really is.

The crew at The Fifth Column - Incisive writing about current events, social issues and the personal. Stunningly good.

Of course, those who have received this honor are supposed to give it out to 5 people as well. Not twisting anyone's arm to do that mind you.
