As you might remember, I offered a drink to some of the people submitting talks for Akademy 2008.

I know the schedule is not online yet, but to help you wait a bit I’m going to announce the
Winners of the Akademy 2008 Drink Awards!

So the following people met the criteria of submission order and quality for their proposals, which give them the privilege to be on my final list. Please applaude this year winners:

  • Paul Adams
  • Harald Fernengel
  • Celeste Lyn Paul
  • Patrick Spendrin
  • Thomas Baumgart
  • Sebastian Kügler and Dirk Mueller (they submitted a joint talk, but I’ll be nice and let them have a full drink each… could have been fun seeing them with only one glass to share though) :-)

Feel free to poke me during Akademy for your offered drink. It’ll be my pleasure to get something nice and refreshing for you.

Of course, the mandatory banner:

I'm going to... Akademy

PS: Now, I’m sure I would make a crappy host for the Oscars…
