Storm Warning: Neko Case to Hit Antone's Tonight
UPDATE: After lots of votes, the race is neck-and-neck. Polls are open until 11pm tonight.
A certain local website with a feature that starts with "A" and ends with "ist" (which appeared right around the time they hired our former editor) is having a little poll. They ask "Which local Web site is the best?" Um ... le duh!
Inexplicably, they have gotten a lot of votes for themselves. The only thing more tacky than winning your own poll would be soliciting votes to try to win someone else's poll, especially a poll on a website that we don't even read (if it isn't in Pitchfork, who cares?). So that is what we are doing. Vote Austinist.com! W00T!

278 votes for CANNOLI EFFING JOES?
Gross. Isn't Cannoli Joe's a italian buffet? Not that there is anything wrong with buffets, if you know, you are into that sort of trough eating thing.....
Cannoli Joe's is pretty disgusting. Terrible location and not very good food!
It'd be pretty embarrassing (and awesome) if Austinist beat the website that the poll is featured on.
Seriously, it just goes to show what kind of half-literate mouthbreathers the common Statesman reader/website surfer is.
The Austin Statesman should've known better. Never ever be so shameless as to name yourself as a nominee in a poll/vote that you yourself are hosting!!!! Austinist needs to hit back with a contest for "Austin's Favourite Papers"!!!!
You're getting 24 votes from me everyday Austinist!!!!!
With mere hours to go, Austinist is only trailing 'the man' by 30 votes. Please vote!
Cannoli Joe's rocks!
