This week's challenge is one of the most rare at Blog About Town. It's called CHOOSE THE VEEP! It's fairly simple:

1. Name the person who will soon be named as Barack Obama's running mate.
2. Choose the date when the selection will be officially announced (probably via cyberspace).

The top scorer(s) will get a point. Anyone who does better than I do gets a point for that. And here's a tip for you: Hurry!

Anyone can play, leaving guesses in the comments section using a distinct moniker so everyone can tell everyone from everyone else. (Remember: There's only one Luke N. Atmaguchi.) Enjoy!

WHERE WAS I? The results are in! Broadway expert Myra dominated this year's Tony special, collecting a point for the best score, collecting another point for doing better than I did, and consequently surging into the first-place position, ahead of the formidable Debbie! Deborah didn't do so well, but she gets a salute from BAT headquarters for merely daring to take on Myra!

Incidentally, tonight should be a very good night to see a recent Tony winner. The last time I checked, there were still seats available for Gypsy.

And anyone who just happened to be at the ceremony should feel free to share their experiences in the comments.

WHERE WAS I? The results are in! Big Brown famously choked and conditions for spectators at Belmont were disgusting, so it turned out that Blog About Town was a great place to be for the race on Saturday evening. Just ask Myra, who racked up a win plus an Attendance Award! She has now claimed the second place position, sandwiched between Debbie and Gary.

WHERE WAS I? My location has been ascertained to my satisfaction. It took a bunch of strange guesses, including a self-negating guess from the always fashion-conscious Luke N. Atmaguchi, before Debbie found me. Asking that her point go to Luke, she then earned herself a bonus point. Luke's point will become real when the game enters the next round, or perhaps when Debbie uses one of her many photo credits. It's complex, I know....
