Vapors 2005 Readers Choice Awards

[jasonmaggio]

I never try to push my own shit on superfuture but I think a lot of you would enjoy participating in this poll. It's basically vote for your favorite skateboarder, skate company, artists, gallery show, emcee, dj, album of the year, hotel, denim, indy clothing line... and on and on....

this is how powerful this forum is because i see it has influenced some of the available choices in the survey... case in point, APC, as one of the selections for fave denim.

Why did you make it pre-listed? Its getting me all, "i guess they're the best considering the other people on the list". You should have made it more open. That would have been a little more work, but you could have really seen what your readers are into. I guess thats what you want and think all your readers would answer anyway. Whatever though, maybe next time..

[jasonmaggio]

It's purely an issue of manpower. We are super small staff (2 people) and would never have the time to manually figure the winners from what could possibly be hundreds of nominees for each category. I agree that more open is better for everybody. We learn who people are feeling and readers have an unfiltered voice. Suggestions are taken seriously as with the project we will strive to keep it as real as possible each year.

No Levi's?

You have DFA, but no LCD Soundsystem?

[Cue]

exactly, and, just rolled home mindlessly drunk, but what about the david axelrod 1966-1970 re-issue?

[Tisswat]

Let us pick the nominees for next year then.

Reporter: "What do you think about western civilization?"

Gandhi: "I think it would be a good idea."

[champagne_bubblebath]

don't know about his skills behind technics, but Catchdubs was definitely in the forefront of the "streetwear/sneakers/music/commentary-blog" shit..

[jasonmaggio]

Votes have been cast. Some very suprising winners, can't wait for all of you to see. The issue that will have published results streets Dec. 10th. You'll trip on who won favorite skateboarder and favorite Clothing Label...
