thanks for posting this, saucy. i think I will attend the one south of lower boondocks, though I'm sure you NY surburbanites will have a blast at the Weschester County event.

While I'm elated for Mr. HD, I do wish there was more of a soca contingency and more soca artists were nominated. tho. ;(

anyone knows if there is a similar award that highlights more soca artists? The awards given out at carnival time to soca artists cannot be it, please say it aint so.
