wow…more categories this year…this is getting ridiculous
memphis blues as best bbq? wow talk about not even trying.
It’s always refreshing to know that the VanMag Awards are as skewed as ever. Bacchus wins Best Lounge again and again and again. I wonder if that would that have anything to do with a comp account that VM has in the lounge(allegedly).
And Gotham, come on, please…..with the plethora of fine steakhouses around.
Let’s toss out the paid off judges and get back to some real voting. I bet the results would be far different.
^ Wow, wicked and unsubstantiated slander from Mr. Anonymous a.k.a. Mr. Bitterness < --a great Soul Coughing song, enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YhY4kEMBOk
i agree with Deckard Paul. Its the same old , same old. thye are trying to change the culture of this voting system but they cant seem to get it right. Your awards process seems much more credible
