Andy and I were reading through the Best Of the Valley Poll and although we didn’t win Best Music Shop (didn’t really plan on it, mind you) we were still listed in that category and also Best Place to See a Live Performance. Woo!

Also, listed under Best Female Singer was “Ashley Brody”…I was a bit surprised by that one. First, I have only sang in front of people a few times (Crash Boom Bang’s ‘A Few Good Minutes’ and with The Lightbulbs a couple of times). Second, whoever wrote me down used my maiden name haha.

Justin, I did see Scripted Failures under a few categories. And Steph, Daniel made it into several categories as well. The Flying Monkey made it into several exciting categories, so that’s always great.

My only ‘beef’ with that poll is that I don’t think corporate chains should count. I think it should be geared towards local business. Also, I think the Plant could use an editor. There are many mis-spelled words and even repeated names in several categories. But, from what I understand The Planet has writers but also allows locals to submit articles. I don’t know a whole lot though because I really only read the ‘Best of’ Issues.
