Elections Results: photos and mockery.
Posted by: Neal Yonson | January 25, 2008 | 5 Comments
Last night, I took photos. This morning, I mock people. You know you like it.
Aaron from UBC Devils, undoubtedly plotting.
Austin from UBC Devils. I’m a firm believer in keeping one’s friends close and their enemies closer.
Andrew Forshner, of whom I cannot take a photo without it looking like he’s singing.
Stef Ratjen, heading out of the Gallery for some air.
We’ve got all sides of the competition covered…
…especially when it comes to UBC Devil’s head dude Stephen McCarthy.
It was Open Mic night in the Gallery, and this fine gentleman serenaded the throng of politicians for a while. Sadly, I didn’t catch his name.
Erin Rennie ponders her picks for the elections pool.
Gina, another Open Mic Night entertainer.
Erin Rennie wanted the Presidential race to be a series of staring contests, as she is totally schooling Matt Naylor.
Angelina from the Devil’s Advocate, and her paper airplane.
It’s an Exec Sandwich!
I’m not sure EA Brendan Piovesan can exactly be called the most popular man… but everyone did want to hear the results.
Team Flyerfuck awaits results.
Azim Wazeer raises the roof upon hearing he made it.
VP Finance-elect Chris Diplock was all smiles and hugs.
Unsurprisingly, Team Flyerfuck went straight for the makeouts upon finding out Alex had won.
Erin Rennie, relieved to have gotten her 10% and also to have not won.
President-elect Mike Duncan and VP Admin Sarah Naiman.
Maybe there are pink UBC cowboy hats in our future.
VP Students Brian Sullivan was also in attendance.
Tyler “Che” Allison relates the story of voting at every poll booth, his concerns about the way paper ballots were handled, and details the coming revolution for Eric Szeto (off camera, holding mic)
Congratulations to the newly elected student representatives, and condolences to those that didn’t make it; there’s still plenty of opportunity to make your mark!
It was an interesting election, and voting isn’t over – be sure to vote for the UBC Insider in the Voter Funded Media Contest!

Looking at that photo of Mike Duncan, I couldn’t be less optimistic about the coming year at UBC.
Suggested caption for the Brian Sullivan photo: “Thank god none of these idiots have any real power.”
How come the term “FlyerFuck” is not included?
Also why is everybody trying to copy Jon Stewart?
Indecision 2008 AMS ClusterF–k
Where’s Colbert with his “Decision 2008”
The photo of Sullivan is actually nice – I bet they want a copy of it at his office. Why make $10 when you make thousands?!
it is and it isn’t; the lighting is terrible, he’s weirdly red, and the focus is in the wrong place.
at the same time, it’s a pleasant break from the ultraformal shots of him we’re used to, and if he for some reason wants to sit for portraits, I’d be more than happy to do it up.
oh, also: are you commenting on the right post, alfie?
