My original post read:
Went to the Addy awards Friday night. Was completely shocked when I won silver, freaked out and ran off the stage without thanking anybody. Here's how I explained the ad to my girlfriend from home.

Happy Monday!
We have this "hockey" team here for whatever reason. I've never been at all interested in this "hockey" thing, as I am Southern and only watch ACC Basketball (GO PACK!). Anyhoo, they won this "Stanley Cup" thing, which is apparently a huge deal to Yankees and Canadians. My permalance client is a corporate sponsor, so we ran a congratulatory full-page ad in the N&O. I was given the rush assignment. My designer and I had just about four hours to come up with something, and neither of us gave a rat's ass about hockey. After some frantic Googling, we knew that there was no way we could teach ourselves about the sport or even the team. So we polled some fans in the office about hockey superstitions. Players let their beards grow during playoffs for good luck, so we played off that. I am shocked we got approval... most of our work gets dumbed down by the suits until it's dry as stale toast. :)
Luv ya
