Check this out...

So Cincinnati Citybeat released their 2009 Cincinnati Music Award Nominees
and watch what I can do for the first four categories...

Artist of the Year: I saw five of eight bands nominated play live on Fountain Square.
Album of the Year: Again, I saw five of the eight play live.
New Artist of the Year: I only saw two of the eight but OMG, now I'm obsessed with
You, You're Awesome after seeing them play MPMF at CAC. So that should count for
extra points. Just saying.

Here's the kicker... In the Alternative/Indie category: I shot every one of the bands nominated.
