Wow! Is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this event. It was so nice and I had a great time. It was such a wonderful experience. I had the opportunity to meet and network with so many people working in social media. I thank God for twitter because I wouldn't have found out about it if I hadn't started to follow the Houston Press.

| Very nice crowd and a good turn out for the Inaugural Event! |
 |
| Couple of peeps I met at the table |
 |
| Bumped into a University of Houston buddy, Rodney who's a web designer #Go Coogs!! |
 |
| Saw Bun B of UGK, one of my hometown heroes! He was so cool and down to earth. It's good to see celebrities interacting with fans. He took a lot of pictures with people and stayed a good while. |
There were many awards presented throughout the night. Many categories for blogs and tweets that I never would've thought of like Best Late Night Twitterer and Best Sex Blog (he he! :D)
 |
| I'm not that big on sports but I thought that the name of this guy's blog was cool. I love crawfish, too bad crawfish season just ended. :-( |
 |
| They even looked through several blogs and picked the best blog post. |
 |
| They didn't leave out the Arts |
 |
| They even recognized music blogs. Sweet! |
 |
| I have no idea how they were able to choose this one but they gave out an award for the best tweet of the year. |
This event was more than just an award ceremony. There was plenty of time to mix and mingle with others as well as food/drinks(open bar), and fun activities and prizes.
 |
| This company took free fun photos. You got to choose your background, and you received a free picture. They had props and everything. This was so much fun! |
 |
I chose the Super Star Paparazzi background
Woo Hoo!! :D |
 |
| Not sure which background they chose but they seemed to be enjoying the props! Ha ha! |
 |
| More people taking pictures |
Everyone seemed to have a great time.
 |
| There was a live twitter feed going and they posted all of the tweets on the screen. |
 |
| Group picture |
Here are a few of the winners. They received recognition along with laptop covers with the Houston Press and Web Awards logo
Fun times, I can't wait until next year. I hope to be able to grow enough by then to be nominated and possibly win an award!
 |
| This guy and DJ Fat Tony were the MCs for the night. They kept the party going. |
 |
| Fat Tony performing. He's actually not fat at all. LOL! |
 |
| Very pretty set up. This was actually held at the Momentum Audi. Who would've thought you could dress up a car dealership and turn it into a chic party spot. Great Idea!! |
 |
| DJ Fat Tony on the ones and twos mixing and scratching and providing an awesome party mix. The banner shows Mega Dj Karaoke. They gave away a Karaoke machine (which I hate I didn't win because I love karaoke) and a set of ear phones. |
