The Best of the Bay

Off the topic of the Lightning and pro sports, as a heads up to locals and Tampa Bay-originating people's far-far-away... Creative Loafing (aka the Weekly Planet) has their Best of the Bay awards voting going on right now. This covers a wide variety of topics such as best restaurants, best clubs, best players on each major sports team, best and worst local personalities, best local blog, etc. You need to be able to vote for 35 of these subjects at the minimum if you're going to have your vote registered at all...
