2006 LA Press Awards

Above is a picture of myself with Shivaune, International Public Relations Manager for E! Entertainment.

Last night the LA Press Club held their 48th Southern California Annual Journalism Awards. This event was a journalist's picnic as there was a sea of true contributors to the art in attendance. The night was lavish with a banquet and fine wines flowing throughout the ballroom. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did his "politics" thing as he spoke to the attendees about something I can’t quite remember. Tavis Smiley, one of my personal favorites, presented Larry King with the Presidents Award for outstanding achievements in Journalism.

There were awards for all types of categories. I can see myself winning an award in the near future in the online journalist category. Overall I loved the event; it allowed me the opportunity to network and manage the silent auction. I am still hot that I didn’t place a bid on anything; the prizes were great.
