Happy Halloween, & Here's to 365 Days of Snark

Listen up my little pretties. A year ago, The Vancouverite was born. A year ago I was all, thanking my design team for making a damn fine blog, and all that kind of crap. And I would be again too if weren't for those kids and that dang dog. Anyway, we were young then, and we'd be celebrating the wonders of The Vancouverite redesign on our first birthday, but when you pay your staff with peanuts, no literally nuts, it is really hard to get things done on time, unless you are a squirrel I guess. Thanks, Graham! So that glorious baby Jesus-like rebirth will have to wait until later in November, prolly. I'm sure you're all glued at the edge of your seats anyway.

But in a rare momment of sort of non-irony and anti-snark I wanted to take the time to thank all the people who I've dragged into helping make this site what it is. I want to thank Graham and Carter for making The Vancouverite (redesign or not) look so effing good. There, I said it, stop screwing around now. Honestly. You're both lucky I can't even spell the word "code". Bastards.

And while I was traveling around the world during the summer the worker bees Luke and Josee somehow managed to keep the site more than just alive, even although Luke probably pissed off 1/2 the city and Josee got obsessed with those damned Spirit Bears. Now there is also Katherine our Canucks Blogger, who keeps me from actually having to follow hockey, which is perfect since I only like it when the Canucks lose. Anyway, Thank you. Serioously. But could you all post more and fill in those TPS reports, that'd be great.

Oh, and thanks to the readers who for some reason keep coming back day after day and in bigger numbers. It's like the freaking Sand people. How is that even possible I ask?

PS: I hate Halloween. More on this later. Also I've pretty much lost that bet I was telling you about. When I see the aforementioned Jack Layton costume this morning I'm going to be singing the glory of the Democrats. See what this website has done to me?
