There's something to be said for consistency

Another Loafies, another loss.
Or another way to put it is I didn't win a Creative Loafing Tampa Bay Best of the Bay award for Best Blogger.
Again.
Or yet another way to put it is I was named a runner-up...so that's pretty cool.



I didn't even place in the Twitter category so
let's pretend I didn't care about that one

 The award went to Olga "Localista" Bof for her work on St. Pete's iLovetheBurg. I didn't go to the awards ceremony this year because I had something else to do I'm too cool for that. But here is my brief, bullet-pointed summary of the whole thing...


CONGRATULATIONS:

• Best Local TV Weatherperson - Steve Jerve
• Best Underrated Local Pop Star (that's a thing?) - Jeremy Gloff
• Best Home Furninshings - Ikea Tampa

CONDOLENCES

• Lynne Austin, Ronny Elliott, Ellen Mueller, Rebekah Pulley, Jessie Stehlik, Rebecca Zapen and everybody else I voted for who didn't win anything - You deserve better. If I had awards ("The Clarkies"), I'd give you one. Not that that's better, but you get the idea.
• Catherine Durkin Robinson - Maybe next year we should resume our "feud"?

THANK YOU

• Everybody who voted for me - Seriously, I'm flattered beyond words. Thank you so much for your support. It really is a tremendous honor to have people appreciate you and what you do and I'm truly, truly grateful for it. I'll make it up to you somehow. You too, Peter Scorsch.
• God - For the end of awards season already, finally. I'm officially declaring an extended break from gratuitous pluggery on this blog starting....now.
