awarded
The above-pictured plaque was acquired at the Weekly Planet BOB award ceremony last night. You may recall that WP annointed Sticks of Fire best local website. The Planet invited all BOB winners out to Yuengling Brewery for some beer and the Best Jamaican Food from Jerk Hut.
Awards were presented to many winners. Paul Wilborn (Best Job) - showed up to accept, as did rachel* (best blog per readers) from Midnight Culmination and Dave (best blog per WP writers) from Tampa Rail. I got the added pleasure of speaking with Chris Vela of YARD-OPS - Best Architecture Activists (Kiley Park Division)
The ceremony was capped by a $15,000 donation from WP to support animal causes. Everyone enjoyed the ceremony, and Wifey and I met many other wonderful people from our community. Thanks to the Weekly Planet for a really great time!!

Congrats on the award. Is this the first time for them to give out awards on websites? Can’t recall if they have done that in prior years.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. They are truly appreciated.
Surreal, I am not 100% sure, but i believe this is the first year that they included websites.

Congratulations. Being a St. Pete native in Tampa for school, I find that your site offers a wealth of information pertaining to the Tampa Bay area. I am greatful to you and your contributors for that.

Too bad Midnight Culmination had to win by passing out flyers at USF’s library among other locations to garner the award. So it wasn’t like rachel* earned it… or maybe she did.
