That was 2 years ago.

I SUSPECT it was Lallen last year, and was the spark for the "everyone surround Lex on the dancefloor" thing at Poptimism, where the winner was announced.

Announcing the winner at P'mism seems a good wheeze this time too so I will hold off polling for a while.

Last year's winner

...was announced here (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/240700.html).

As The Lex suggests, some ballot-rigging seemingly took place on the night.
