Here at World Headquarters, for instance, we’re gearing up for the Best of 2015 whatzup Readers Poll, and we encourage all of our readers to head over to whatzup.com and fill out the nominating ballot if you haven’t done so already. We’ve also been making some decisions about the H.

We were pleased that seven prior winners (pictured above: Harvey Cocks, Bob Roets, Richard Reprogle, Tish Liddell [representing the Liddell family], Doc West, Julia Meek, some old geezer, Brad Etter and Matt Kelley) agreed to meet at Sweetwater last week to decide who should be honored this year.
