I’ll start with an admission: I have called what I’m about to do unseemly in the past. Times and circumstances change. It doesn’t seem as wrong now to ask for your vote.
I’m talking about the annual “Best Of” awards from the New Haven Advocate and Fairfield County Weekly (The Hartford Advocate has theirs later).
I’ve done well some years, been a bridesmaid in others. There’s really no predicting who is “Flavor of the Moment.”
The Advocate and Weekly don’t mind if I ask for your vote, as long as I don’t offer you anything in return. That’s because for most categories this is more a business starter for the papers than a meaningful election.
In order to keep the ballot boxes from truly being stuffed they require you vote in at least 20 categories. That does bring this to pain-in-the-ass level. If you don’t vote I understand.
However, if you have a favorite funeral parlor or adult boutique you’ve been keeping to yourself here’s your chance to let everyone know!
Balloting closes March 9.

Thanks for your vote.
I voted for you, and of course….it took a while to come up with 20 “favorites” …..but I managed!! Hope it’s a SWEEP Geoff!!!
It was a pleasure to vote for you Geoff. And it was fun to pick some of the other categories as well. Best of luck!
They might just find more ballots this year! Was a pleasure to vote for you!
Voted in both polls. I have an hunch this year it may be a run a way.
No sooner asked than done! It was my honor, Geoff!!
P.S.: One of my friends was [accidentally] watching TNH the other day when the new guy was trying to figure out what the weather was going to be for Saturday. I guess he wasn’t able to predict with much certainty and he is said to have stated:
“Maybe we should call Geoff Fox and ask HIM what the weather will be!”
That sounds like a GREAT idea!! 🙂
Are you serious? That has got to be urban legend type material, right? If anybody has that clip it should be on YouTube!!
I believe the Hartford one just finished voting last week. I voted for you there too!
It was actually amusing to choose 20 categories. You have over 10,500 fans committed to your success on the ‘Keep Geoff Fox’ FB page. We’ll roll those ‘likes’ over to votes for you. Good Luck Geoff!

Just got done voting. When I first saw your post, I thought you were going to run for Senator Lieberman’s seat!
Sorry Geoff, I wish I could vote for you but living in the Northeast part of the state, I have no idea who to vote for in ANY of the other categories in order to vote for you as well. You would so have my vote otherwise. I do wish you lots of luck!
I have lots of favorites–you in particular so it will be my pleasure to vote! 😀
Votes submitted. 🙂 Good luck!
I voted in New Haven Advocate poll. I hope this works ’cause you deserve it!
Dear Geoff,
It’s a pleasure to vote for you Geoff. We love you. Voted in both polls.
Kumar.
you’ve got my vote!
it’s our pleasure to vote for you Geoff.
Done! Thanks for the reminder to get my votes in … I vote for the “Best Of New Haven” every year. Gotta show some love to my good friend Coleen’s boutique (Dava) and the area’s greatest radio station, WPKN. 🙂
Easy call. It’s gonna be great to see you win.
OK Geoff, another fan here has voted! I’m sure it will be a runaway as well. Love the fortune cookie too…somehow good things will come from this, even it you and all your fans don’t see it yet. While I miss your reports on TV, I am now a regular here on your blog. You have so many more talents than we ever saw on TV! Hang in there, keep busy, something better is on the horizon for you!
This is the first time I ever voted in the Advocate Poll. Was well worth the time to get to vote for you. Hoping for a landslide. Someone told me (I don’t watch WTNH anymore) that they now have some contest hoping to get viewers back.
You got our vote. Between Sergio’s, Greek Olive, & Ray & Mikes for a steak & cheese. ITS A WIN WIN SITUATION!!
Only because you asked would I bother filling out that silly poll. I hope it’s a landslide!!
Geoff, it was a pleasure to vote for you. Good luck!
My first time voting in the Advocate. If you don’t do a sweep. someone is cheating! too bad they don’t have one for worse media manager!
