No cigar? or "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"?

The contest is over, a winner has been announced, and it is not -- in the very specific sense of who is going to get the contest prizes -- our gang of Adrienne and Adam and Josh and Whit and everyone else at The Attack.

Congratulations to the Evil Emp.... I mean, the Waverly Group.

I will resist challenging the referees or the contest algorithm or whatever, although, well ... you know. Who's better than these incredibly talented kids? Nobody!

But but but but....

There is a next step, and it is just a matter of figuring it out. Our gang of Adrienne and Adam and Josh and Whit and everyone else at The Attack have had over 46,000 views of their "End of an Era" video so far. They have had over 34,000 views of their first-round sketch, "Goin' to Napa."

Those are big numbers. They will figure it out. I don't know anything about the entertainment biz. In the indie book publishing business, which I know pretty well, if you get 30 or 40 thousand people to eyeball the cover of your book, you have a hit.

I'm just saying.
