A few weeks ago, we decided to recognize some of the little things that make partying possible. The results are in, with overwhelming support for Pure’s venues in any category in which they were nominated. (If we ever run for political office or audition for American Idol, we totally want their employees on our team and voting in droves.) Though no actual prizes are awarded, gold stars and pats on the back can be received at the Weekly’s office. Certificates hand-crafted by Deanna Rilling with glitter and crayons are available upon request.
