When I was a full-time staffer at Creative Loafing, I loved working on Best of the Bay — not just the endless hours spent swapping ideas in meetings, but also the sense of excitement about celebrating local action, and getting out, staying plugged in and seeing all the shit we knew about, heard about or might’ve missed.
This year, due to my current job, I wasn’t able to contribute to the BOTB issue as I used to. But in keeping with the tradition, I’m devoting this week’s column to some shout-outs of my own.
