Wow. Where to begin? Having to trek over to the far reaches of Club Row on a cold Sunday night was not an exciting prospect, but we threw on our hand tailored Duckie Brown suit (thanks!) and headed over to Mansion. When we arrived, the club was not quite ready for primetime, with the a massive crowd all looking to get inside. The door staff was not having it, but DBTH wasn't waiting either. We made our way inside and mingled in the front bar area until the main floor opened. 30 minutes later, it finally did. Hooray. It was like being at a really low brow version of the MTV Movie Awards. Really low brow. But still, we were given a table next to our friends from Lit Lounge and Mark Ronson, not shabby company.

While we waited for the awards to start, we had the chance to catch up with some old and new friends. Rachelle swung by to say hello and invite DBTH to her dessert party. Uncle Steve came by and we had fun talking to him, hearing about his new gig and what he really thinks about things. We then had the chance to meet Matt Levine, which was fun, fun, fun! Fun! His cohort asked us to star in a movie, which we politely declined, and we took our seats and got ready for the show.

Winners!

The awards were as expected, numerous trannies and fake scenesters poorly reading categories and over-excited winners making bad acceptance speeches. The longer we were there, the less we wanted to be there. Then a Little Birdy whispered those sweet, sweet words to us. "You won". A feeling of warmth poured through us, knowing that our fans (and relatives) took the effort to vote for us. When it finally was annouced, our small group celebrated. No one else did. We made our way down to the main stage and were presented the Kid Robot designed award, which is special. Apparently our speech went unheard, but we thanked our competition, readers, and Matt Levine for giving us so much material. After that, we left to go celebrate. Matt was nice enough to invite us to the Eldridge, but we declined. We wanted to quietly savor the moment. Ahhh. Champions!
