Well certainly the Net Visionaries awards sound a whole lot better than the golden spiders.
I think I still have my debs outfit from so many years ago.. I think I'd probably still fit into it as well! (No waist creep here despite my propensity for sitting in front of a computer all day long)
I can't imagine donning it for an awards event though, some of our clients might like that, but I can't visualise coding being something that warrants an awards event
