Inaugural Awards Show {original air date May 2013}

Coming New Year’s Eve 2013
The Neighborhood’s Season-Ending Show: 2013 Thepublicblogger Awards

Ladies & Gentlemen, Readers & Writers, special guests, old friends, nominees and the entire blogger community. Welcome to inaugural ThepublicAwards –  a Celebration of Community.

You are now inside the world of my imagination. Imagine it is a beautiful summer’s eve, and we are gathered along  a spectacular shore. The moonlight beams off the ocean’s water, granting light upon a majestic pavilion, where the evening’s entertainment is where you will enjoy. The air is crisp and you can smell the ocean breeze. Although you have never been here before, you know this is a place full of love and peace.

Tonight, is a celebration of community. We celebrate what brings us together, but even inside my mind, we never forget what can tear us apart.

My name is Kendall F. Person and I will be your host for this original Blogospheric event. Playing for you now, from Oslo Norway Drumma Battalion.  From Cartegan, Spain S’ENS is here. From Portland, Oregon international photographer, Leah Olson is here. From Berkeley, California Crystalkay Fairrington with the world premire of her latest video production. And of course, the evening would not be complete without them, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, P-Shaw Productions is here.

But tonight it is all about our nominees and their winning blog posts. Over the passed five months, I have visited thousands of your blogs, and my sincere apologies, for I know there are thousands more. 38 posts were selected, in 7 categories:  Photography, Use of All Mediums, Humor/Comedy, Blog-Magazine, Short/Long Story, Healing/Inspirational and Rants/Musings.

Hope you are enjoying the show and taking the time to relax and absorb the performances and the winning posts. Remember where you are. A slight breeze blew in from the ocean, and has brought a little chill. But you are still warm and safe, as tiki torches are being lighted all around the pavilion, giving the stage a true island feel.

And with that, it is a pleasure to introduce to you, from Cartegan, Spain, with their unique and distinct sound S’ENS performing Blues Soul.

My name is James Pattishaw, but I think most of you know me as P-Shaw. I want to thank you all so much for your time, your true opinion, and support of not only Kendall, but myself and the P – Shaw Productions company as well. We see the growth in us as artist because of the love and support we so greatly feel. Matching a story board with cinematic music allows the audience to travel with us, as you  understand exactly where the writer and artist are trying to go. We cannot make it in this business without you. You all mean so much to us. Thank You.
