4. The Heritage Awards Ceremony, hosted by the African and African American Resource Center and the Black Heritage Committee, will take place at 5 p.m. in Alumni Hall, 3701 West Bryn Mawr Ave. DONATIONS Accepted.
5. Just as we ripped Mike North a new asshole for these awards that you never heard of, but the point is, the award os never heard of and giving it to someone on the media, you know the ego will make sure it gets publicity.
6. BIG FAN gets offers to be in the WHOS WHO of America. Once again, BIG FAN gets the email offering to be in the Book for $49.99. Yes, I have considered it.
As someone stated in the thread, how about an award or recognition of some kind for guys that bust ass in 9-5 jobs, then volunteer, etc. Its a great idea and a great way to identify those in the community...not "The Community", but a community in general.
Congrats...whats next? Broadcasters with Speech Impediments Dinner- Man of the Year?
Come on, man. Guy won an award and someone posted a pic. No reason to tear it down.
This goes way beyond "I don't like him on the radio".
