Radio Lounge Co-MC's 45th Annual Houston ADDY Awards 

On a chilly Houston evening in February, okay it wasn’t that cold, hundreds gathered in downtown Houston for what was to be a night of awards and entertainment celebrating the creative spirit surrounding the Houston Advertising Federation.  And it was indeed a celebration of the incredible talent we have here in Houston.  The agencies, production companies, writers, producers; great advertising still lives here and it’s very healthy and prospering.  Coupled with our Only in Houston campaign, www.onlyinhouston.org our little town is back on the radar.     

Bruce and I co-hosted the event with Dave Henry (VT2 Studios) our ADDY Master, which loosely translated means we read fifty plus pages of winners, most of which contained names with too many syllables.  Winners are listed on the Houston Advertising Federation website (or click here for pdf list).  As with any event, last minute refinements kept us busy until the beginning of the show.  From our location in the Temple of ADDY Wisdom (ohmmmm) we also enjoyed the tribute to Dick Smith with a rich history in advertising and marketing, and gave away a ton of gold, silver and citations, which by the way WE also won.  Yeah RADIO LOUNGE.   A Silver ADDY :30 Radio Category for “Bleep” for Got Gripe.COM and a Citation of Excellence for The Houston Symphony “Baseball Concert”
