November 10, 2003: YesMen, Honorable Mention in Duck® Tape Contest -
YesMen received an "Honorable Mention" in the Duck® brand duct tape "Rock About the Roll" contest. The band is flattered, but realizes they have a long way to go. "We know we have to keep working hard at this. Honorable Mention is great, but boy oh boy…when you work all year for this and you fall short, it's tough to swallow," a slightly teary-eyed Brad McCarty (drummer) mumbled as he walked out of church Sunday morning. First prize in the jingle-writing contest would have meant a cash prize and a year's supply of duct tape. YesMen have already been talking about a plan for next year's Duck® tape contest.
