CHARITY! The Slog vs. P.W.A.S.M.T.C.U.U.T.S.A.U. Holiday Charity Challenge: The Monsoon and Caffe Vita WINNERS!

The Slog vs. People Who Are So Mad They Call Us Up to Shout at Us Holiday Charity Challenge marches on! YOU GUYS ARE SO GREAT, WE'RE SHOUTING AT YOU ABOUT IT!

Ahem... now for the winners of Friday's contest:

· The $100 gift certificate to the very, very delicious Monsoon is... Katherine, who sent this incident of magical pho (Monsoon's pho, available at lunch and weekend brunch, is goddamned great, by the way):

After I broke up with the boyfriend who led me to Seattle I contemplated leaving town over a bowl of pho—the most perfect creation! Exotic (to a Central Virginia-raised girl)! Comforting! Cheap! Suddenly I got the phone call. Cast in my first show! I'm still here. Thanks, pho!

· And out of sheer pity—even WE buy our interns coffee!—the gift of sweet, sweet (not actually necessarily sweet) caffeine in the form of a $50 gift card to Caffe Vita goes to rookypox, who wrote in:

As much as I love helping those far hungrier than myself, there's a selfish motive here. I'm an intern and meet my boss weekly at Capitol Hill's Caffe Vita. I don't complain because their soy lattes are delicious, but they aren't cheap. Help a sister out?

Do YOU want to help a sister/brother out? Donate to Northwest Harvest —whatever amount you can afford! You will also become a Slog SWASHBUCKLING HERO, if you're not one already—just include your commenter handle in the e-mail to charity@thestranger.com, and we'll set you up.

You are all magical elves.
