I think there are so many contenders for the RAZZIES this year. Might be their best year yet.

I wish. You can try for their lottery, which entitles you to up to two tickets at $300 a pop. Or you can "buy" a table for $5000. I wonder how many seats there are at a table? If there were 20, it'd definitely be worth it. Hell, even if there were 10, it'd almost be worth it. But then, could I convince nine other people to shell out $500, plus airfare and hotel money as the case may be? I'm thinking not. I see Michelle is nominated this year. That certainly sweetens the pot, doesn't it?
And yes - the Razzies will be beside themselves this year trying to narrow it down to only five. Man, there were a lotta stinkers.

I'd forgotten about her saying this. Thanks for reminding me. Yes - great minds and all that. ;)

Whoops. Never mind, KD. What that $5000 "membership" gets you is TWO guaranteed tickets. So, who wants to go in on it with me? ;)
