Without further ado and in response to the clamoring from many (fact check: nobody), here's who will be taking home a prized Portico this year. The award ceremony is very hush-hush and on a need-to-know basis, but I can confirm an event is in the planning phase. More to follow, but for now, here are this year's winners!
And the Portico Darwin Award goes to: Paso Robles!
Party of The Year
Lauren Ryder 60th Birthday
Thievery Corporation Rave
Cabo Pulmo
Portico Darwin 60th Birthday
In the swamp of narcissism that is this blog, what do you think was going to win?
10 Seconds of Seriousness: I proudly accept the award on behalf of all of the friends and family who attended that special night. Thank you very much - it was a night I will not forget.
This, the most hotly contested race in this year's contest, could have gone to any of the nominees - each is Diamond Certified and absolutely worth your time.
But the Portico must go to M83 and Fantasy. I've played the hell out of this record, and still am.
Book of The Year
Books released in 2023 are marked with an asterisk.
In a pick sure to anger some, the Portico Darwin Award goes to Oppenheimer!
Societal Dysfunction Character of The Year
The Psycho Woke: Madison Wright
Self-Entitled Millennial: Roy Dirwin
Spoiled Idle Rich Mom: Catherine Carats
Amid howls of protest from The Psycho Woke themselves - after all, they say, I am singling out a person, and that can trigger activate others that have been singled out in the past - the winner is Madison Wright.
