First off, you're not hallucinating. After years of presenting our annual Best Of Issue in the fall, this year we decided to move it up to mid-summer. The decision was made after a series of intensive meetings where we spent hours poring over demographic data, media calculus vectors and macrobatics (that's acrobatics on a macro-economic scale). OK, truth is, we consulted an astrologer. Or was it that we had a little too much to drink the night before - or is it because a couple of us went into the "archives" before the meeting and came back with a buzz.

Now we can't remember why we changed it. Whatever. We did. So here it is. YOUR issue, Your votes, Your stories.

Read and weep and laugh and gnash your teeth
