Fresno Famous is currently collecting votes for its ‘Famous Choice Awards’. Voting is over to the right of the front page.

Some familiar names have been nominated in different categories. Suicide Lounge has been added in the band category (and if you were to go vote for us, that would be much appreciated). Marcel Nunis is nominated in the blog category. Ashtree Studios have been added in the art gallery category. Full Circle Brewery is listed as one of many great places to get your drink on.

And I’m pulling for “as yet untapped potential” in the Thing About Fresno category.

Whatever your vote, you should vote. It’s a LOT better than the “Best of…” nonsense that ran in the local paper, where Starbucks was voted best coffeehouse. I mean… seriously. When Olive Garden becomes best restaurant, you’ll KNOW something is wrong with our society. But by then it will be too late.
