As was mentioned in Tuesday’s Crew-Revs Notebook, I have been working hard to develop a fair process by which to come up with a solid, market-tested name for the pub that Duncan Oughton plans to open some day in the future. (As told to Shawn Mitchell in Shawn’s “Covering the Crew” blog on Dispatch.com.)

To develop the original list of names, I have conferred with the Dante-Dunny Think Tank Foundation, as well as a handful of creative Crew players, and then threw in a couple of my own.

You can read about the whole ridiculous process in the Notebook, but for the fan portion of this intensive focus group testing, simply cast your vote with a comment in the comments section of this blog entry. To be official, your vote must be time stamped by 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Thank you for doing your part to help our favorite future Kiwi entrepreneur.
