The Loop: 4/11/09. Best Of Happy Fun Time Awards Party!
Posted By Gavin Sheehan on April 11, 2009, 6:35 AM
Hey
look, famous Utah people getting drunk and dancing.
---
You wouldn't think to know it from the KUTV evening news, but I too
won a City Weekly award for Best "Go Local" Blogger.
And unlike everyone else over here who won... I showed up. First
thing I see when I walk in was Bill Frost patiently waiting for the
bar to open, check out Radio From
Hell's podcast from this past Monday to here him chat about the
evening. There was awesome catering from several restaurants who won
awards this year, dancing gals and a photo booth, as well as other
media-type personalities. Which I must say, without mentioning other
names or stations (because I can't), the few who showed up from near
the airport... quite snooty! Wouldn't even fain a hello. How rude.
But the one evening personality from the industrial park... totally
cool.
Lots
of fun pictures of this party on the MySpace, showing a long list of
cool winners that I won't completely namedrop. But a fond shout-out
to the Geek Show guys for chatting it up with me, my friends at SLUG
for the chatter and constant jokes, the “Mustache Brigade” who
were in full force handing out fake hair, Alan from Area 51, Kennedy
for posing, David & Deena, the free whiskey, and the various
others I got to talk with throughout the evening. And a personal
thank you to the people at City Weekly for the award and good
times at the party! Now that I've gushed, let's move on.
Lots
of cool stuff coming up, this weekend I'll have the calendar updated
for the rest of April and the opening part of May. Not to mention
more interviews including ones with Club Vegas, Meyer Gallery, Salt
Lake Acting Company, Earth Jam, another visit to Gallery Stroll and
of course the much anticipated events from Record Store Day this
coming weekend. Planning for the rest of April's interviews is in the
works with a lot of unknowns and hopeful surprises. But as always,
we'll see what happens.
