Weet je nog dat we je in een blog en in de nieuwsbrief opriepen om bij de Webby Awards te stemmen voor onze skateshow Epicly Later’d? Nou, we hebben hem gewonnen. Dus terwijl wij het weekend ingaan met een bescheiden feestje (we houden het bij gebak, feesthoedjes en slechts enkele liters sterke drank), laten we jou achter met het al even bescheiden woorden van dank die Patrick O’Dell, bedenker van Epicly Later’d, schreef.

I don’t know what to say about this Webby Award really, but Vice asked
me to write an acceptance speech. So uhh, thanks to the Webby Academy
or whatever. Thanks to Jesus, Jereme, Gargoyinging, Claus Grabke and
all my die-hard fucking fans. Also I want to rub it the face of ESPN,
Play.com, and the Peyton Manning Promo, who were also up in the same
category as me. You guys are really awesome, but I guess this proves
that I’m a little awesomer. Oh, and the category was “Best in Sports
Online Shorts” (or something)–isn’t that some shit? At least it wasn’t
“Extreme Sports,” because I would have vomited a little bit. I don’t
know anything about sports, it’s a big blind spot I have. I always
forget to care so this is an ironic win for me. And I say “I” and “me”
because this award is not for Lauren Cynamon, Chris Grosso, Kelly
Hudson, or anyone else at VBS that didn’t have anything to do with it.
Also, this has nothing to do with the skaters who agreed to be
subjected to my awesome interviewing, ‘cause in a way I made their
careers. So anyway, I’ll be seeing all you guys from the Webbys winners
circle.
