The Nominations are In!

We received an excellent crop of nominations this year. With last year's runners up, the 2013 ballot will include 37 candidates, which I believe is a record! Only ten can make it into the 2013 class, so the competition should be stiff! Without further ado, here are your first five candidates:

1. 1986 Mets
2. The Avett Brothers
3. Kirsten Bakis
4. Mel Brooks
5. Captain Kangaroo

Please use the comments section to discuss the various candidates and their contributions to Big Pink Culture. Check back tomorrow for five more nominees!

It's the Big Pinkiest Time of the Year!

It's December, and that means it's time to start submitting your nominations for the 2013 Big Pink Hall of Fame.* Please email your five choices to Emily by Monday, December 9. Watch this space next week for a list of this year's picks!

*Only people who have ever lived in Big Pink may nominate candidates, but everyone who is present on Boxing Day (and also Caroline) is invited to vote.
