That’s right people, we won the critic’s pick for best local blog in Creative Loafing’s annual Best of the Bay. The awesome part is that now we can say we are a critically acclaimed blog without completely lying. Thanks Creative Loafing, we take back some of the mean things we’ve said about you (except you, Wade).

Did I mention we’ve only been in business for 4 months? Yeah, that’s right, we’re that good. Did I also mention that tbt* has taken to quoting us in their Tampa Bay report? Yeah, that’s right, we rule. Well, actually brightlight will claim they have taken to quoting him, but we know they’re just throwing the slow kid a bone.

We were also up for the reader’s poll best local blog along with ninebullets.net and sticksoffire.com. We actually felt weird about winning both awards, so we politely withdrew from the running and the award went to the runner up. Congrats sticks! Keep that hush though, we asked the CL people not to mention it to them.
