For the second year in a row, we talked smack about our nomination for a Pubby Award, the SF Bay Area Publicity Club's Media Excellence Awards. However this year's awards banquet had a surprise twist (at least, it was a surprise to us): according to a source within the SFBAPC

Sorry you couldn't make the Pubbies Award program yesterday at the Meridian Hotel. SFist won as "Best Bay Area Blog." Someone from SFist could have had some quality time in the limelight, plus a free lunch and abuse from MC Will Durst. Your trophy is being mailed. (Careful, it's very heavy.)

Aw, man! We were sure that our bratty behavior would have gotten us something between jack and s**t, so we're thrilled as all get out that the SFBAPC is kind enough to overlook our swagger, to see the soft, fluffy and approval-hungry SFist bunny rabbit that lives inside of every Super Fister you see on our masthead.

Thanks, SFBAPC! And, to our worthy and excellent competition: IN YOUR FACE! YEAH! WOO!
