Obligatory Vote-for-UH post
The Phoenix is taking reader nominations for its annual "best" awards. One of the categories is Best Blog/Podcast, and, yep, Universal Hub is one of the nominees.
Yippee, right? I think the other entries they chose (Blue Mass Group, Allston-Brighton Community Blog, Jon Keller, Dan Kennedy) are all fine choices, except maybe Keller, and that's because something happened to his RSS feed and I never read him anymore so I just don't know. But it's an awfully small list (um, guys, if you have a Blog/Podcast category, you might want to list some podcasts). Boston is blessed with tons of great bloggers, so who am I to judge?
Fortunately, you can cast write-in votes. And it's a good thing I don't have a marketing person, because I'm sure he/she would be yelling at me right now. Oh, and when you vote, you need to click on Finish, I think.




no!
stop it! stop suggesting write-in votes! you HAVE TO WIN THIS THING!
(what do they pay marketing people, anyway?)
His votes
Michael Femia lists his votes in various categories, but adds:
Remember when the Phoenix was an alternative paper?
The Pleasant!
I'd like to request votes for The Pleasant Cafe in Roslindale for "Best Pizza".

Thank goodness they are only checking cookies, not IP addresses
So I can now go vote for the Pleasant in another browser; thanks for the reminder.
For best pizza?
Not for best shish kabob?
By the way, Dinos over in West Roxbury has the best pizza.
Shish-Kebob
Well, I can only vouch for the romantic results when ordering the shish-kebob, not the taste :-)
