My Opera
OK, we've now received all the photos for the Costume CoN+est 2009. There were some gallery problems on the servers, so it took us an extra day to be able to view one entrant, but all is well and we are preparing to vote for the winner. This year, we are either going to ask .ed, our leader, or Espen, the MyOpera community manager, to do the honors. It seems like a great reason to have a poll, right? The tricky thing about that is then people can just ask a billion people to vote for them, and it gets kinda un-fair.
