Well, 2013 has come and gone, but we couldn’t let it go without looking back one last time. I couldn’t really wrap my head around how to write it all, so I figured we’d just go with bullet points and pics. Hell, if you’re a loyal reader, you’ve seen all this stuff before. This is just to whet your palate as you await tomorrow’s 2014 debut of West Week Ever!

So, last year, I was asked “Who had the West Year Ever?” Well, for 2012, the answer was me. I’d gotten married and a whole slew of other stuff. That’s not the case for 2013, however. No, that distinction goes to Breaking Bad. It’s the only multiple West Week Ever recipient, and the series wrapped up in 2013 in top notch fashion. The only entity to come close to Breaking Bad‘s 2013 was Miley Cyrus, but she just flew a little too close to the sun to clinch it this year.
2013 was also the first full year of West Week Ever, and I couldn’t do it without you, the readers. Thanks for all your support and I hope you’ll stay with me into 2014!
I believe I met you in person for the first time in 2013 and yet somehow I don’t make the list. I see how it is…
Helluva year, WBW. Great post as always!
I forgot I had the West Week Ever back in May! I can’t believe that kid was born last year, feels like at least 2 years ago. Been a long 7 months…
WOW!
@Robot’s PJs – Oh shit! I wish I could show you my notebook mapping, as you’re totally on there. I just forgot the pic when I put it all together on the site. It’s been rectified, so please forgive me!
Yeah!! What Robot PJs said! I remember that happening & feeling sad I couldn’t join in..
Congrats on another great year! Lookin forward to what is in store for 2014.
OMFG my real face! Haha cat’s been out of the bag on that one for awhile. Thanks for mentioning me after my crabbing 😀
