Weekend Update (August 4) Post #1000

The winner of the 2013 HJC Open is Andrew G!!!!

Andrew's name will now be immortalized on the Concept Cup, which is awarded to the winner of the HJC Open every year.

Andrew defeated Thomas in the final with 55% of the votes, compared to Thomas' 45%.

Andrew's prize for winning includes a Championship shirt and a full post dedicated entirely to his work. Congrats Andrew!

This is crazy, but this is HJC's 1000th post!!! Thanks to Dylan A. for bringing that to my attention. What better way to celebrate than announcing the winner of the HJC Open? Anyways. thank you to anyone who was ever read, submitted something, or written for HJC! When I started blogging for fun over 5 years ago I could only dream of reaching the level that HJC is at currently. Hopefully we're even bigger by post #2000, and hopefully you'll be here to read it as well.
