Famous Choice Awards: Year Three

You’re full of opinions and we’ve got the space

We could do our jobs as the media elite and tell you what to think and do. But where’s the fun in that?

So, we’ll just throw it out to you, the users, with the Famous Choice Awards: Year Three. It’s your chance to vote on all your Fresno favorites. As always, winners receive a whole lot of free press on the site, and not much else — although I’d be willing to give out hugs and handshakes to those who want them. Voting runs on the site, through March 27.

Categories are:

Beer selection
On tap, in bottles or cans, where do you go when you want a frosty brew?

Blog, blogger or Web site
The blogosphere is expanding faster than the universe (this is probably not true). Where are you surfing?

Breakfast joint
People will argue to the death over which place is best. We just want to watch.

Burrito
Tacos are so passe.

Downtown spot
This is vague, right? It could be anything. So, make it count.

Events (weekly, monthly, yearly or other)
You’re out and about, right? What do you look forward to?

Fresno-made product
We’ve always been partial to Lil’ Minx stripper poles and Handcuffs Sweatshirts, but that’s just us.

Performer
Band, group, or solo project, a writer, rapper, singer or dancer, who do you pay to see?

Haircut
Any suggestions? Seriously, it’s been awhile.

Moment of 2008
We’re going with Nov.2. But don’t let that cloud you’re judgment.

New business
Don’t let the news people fool you, they’re still popping up from time to time.

Native son (or daughter)
Let’s just make sure they were born in Fresno. So, no Mike Oz.

Place to find cheap drinks
Times are tough. But you’ve got to drink.

Pseudo-celebrity
Who makes you do a double take in the grocery store?

Reason to go north of Herndon
Don’t worry, we won’t judge.

Reason to go south of Belmont
Trust us, you won’t get mugged.

Sports team
Now that’s we’ve got roller derby and lacrosse, it’s a toss up.

Tattoo parlor
Toss a cat, you’ll find one.

Theater group
If the play is the thing, who does it best?

Wish list
If we keep saying Ikea, maybe by magic it will come.

Can you please.....

Make a difference between the two links? One goes to a page about the FC Awards with a link to vote and one goes to this page?

Unless I'm bailing someone out or getting a handjob at a Asian massage place, it to go to the Me n Eds in the tower district.

Ikea, Please!

So this is what the future looks like. Crappy made whatever. Please save your money, unless you like your money swimming in sewer.

But like the rest of the turds in this town, "oh look at me" "I was spotted at Ikea"

LAME

Additions to categories for choice awards

I wish this list would stop ignoring visual artists; you have several categories for performing artists, but none for best art associations, best art shows, or best visual artists. Does this mean that like the rest of Fresno you don't consider visual artists worthy of mentioning?
