The 2011 Black Weblog Awards are tonight and LIVE for the first time ever in Los Angelos, California. It seems to have become the capstone of the weekend of events of the Blogging While Brown Conference, now in its 4th year. Tonight's award ceremony is hosted by actress Kim Coles. Recognizing the best and brightest African-American bloggers, the Black Weblog Awards will announce winners of the coveted awards in over 30 categories including Best Science/Tech Blog and Best Green Living/Outdoor/Nature Blog - the two categories I, Danielle N Lee, was proud to be a finalist for.
I'm not there, but I will be tuning in this evening - on the web and tweeting, too.
The ceremony is 6:00 - 10:0 pm (PST)
You can join me if you like. I'll be down at Whiz Tech Cafe at 8:00 pm (CST). It's the greatest, newest internet cafe in the midwest (and it's female/African-American owned).
So come on down, pull up a chair and order a tasty coffee drink, too.
