Called On The Carpet!!!!

  
       I got called on the carpet last night!
       It's OK. It was a Red carpet and a
great event!
       A couple months ago a few of you
Blog readers were kind enough to enter
my name in a newspaper contest. The
publication, Diamond City, was looking
for the "Best Of 2014" in all sorts of
categories. Electric City, Diamond
City's sister entertainment publication
in Scranton, was doing the same thing.
      Under the category "Best Local
Blogger" I won the Diamond City
competition!
      I didn't even know there was a
contest! When the call came from the
paper I thought they wanted to sell me
a subscription!
      I assumed it was a mistake.
But the newspaper guy assured me it was
not.
     I don't know whether I only got one
vote and there were no other entries,
or whether all of my regular readers (both
of you) voted several times. Either way I
am grateful to you and Diamond City for
the honor.
    Last night all of the winners gathered
at Breakers at Mohegan Sun Casino. It
was like the Academy Awards  with
beer and pizza! There were a lot of
people in the crowd and many old
friends among them! I even had a
beer. That's the first one this year.
    It was especially neat to share the
honors with great folks like Frankie in
the Morning, Robert May, the film
maker who produced "Kids For Cash",
Paige Balitski for the Best Theater
Production, "A Behanding In Spokane.",
and Margo Azzarelli who won Best
Local Author. Those just to name a
few!
    They can call me back on this carpet
anytime!
     Hope you'll vote early and often later
this year....and that all your NEWS is
good!
