TexasGigs Kicks Everyone’s Ass Back To China
Well not really, but we were voted best Best Music Web Site/Blog at the Dallas Observer Music Awards.
TexasGigs wins DOMA's 2006 Best Music Web Site/Blog award
We shot We Shot JR, plus DConstruction, Gorilla Vs. Bear and Indie Interviews Tuesday night at the Granada.
Here's a non-Sally Field speech by our fearless leader, Mike, being awarded the very heavy DOMA award (who the hell made those things - Vulcan, Roman god of the Forge?) for best music web site/blog, by awarder/Observerer Robert Wilonsky.
Mike should have video from his perspective later, so feel free to write a 6-8 page paper on the difference in perspective when that's ready.
Thanks to the Dallas Observer, thanks to the fellow nominees, thanks especially to our readers. We love you. You have no idea. No - really. You have no idea. We love you so much. No, look. Wait. Hold on. We love you. Are you afraid of that word? Does that word scare you? Look, damnit, we are in love with you, so you get the hell back here and accept it. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? GET THE HELL BACK HERE! HUH? SCREW ME?!?!? OH YEAH? WELL, SCREW YOU!
Er, nevermind that crap. Thanks from all of us.
