The Boho Online Ballot North Bay Bohemian Best of 2010 Readers Poll
Vote Online! www.bohemian.com (mailed ballots will not be counted)
We're just the bossiest bunch. For 51 issues a year, Bohemian staff and contributors quite literally make it our job to tell North Bay readers what the best bet is for music, what the great restaurants are, which art we're looking at, which wineries we're loving up, which movies are worthwhile, which stage shows are rad and which happy hours we're throwing our dollar bills towards—to name but a few of our bossy bossy ways. But for one issue a year, this aggressive nature quiets enough to let you shout back at us about your best-beloved places to dine out late, the pubs you prefer, the places where you get a massage or new lingerie or fresh chestnuts—to name but a few of your smart and wise ways. It's called the Best of the North Bay Readers Poll and
it's your chance to share with us and some 124,000 of your best friends all of the many groovy spots and businesses that you like best. This ballot is a template for you to use in considering your faves and preparing your votes. Once you're ready to cast your ballot, go online to www.bohemian.com between now and Friday, Jan. 15, at 5pm. Then vote. Look for your informed picks to appear in our annual Best Of issue, publishing on March 17, 2010. Best Of is all about supporting and identifying local businesses and people; we will discard any big box corporate entities. Vote for your favorites today!
