And the CEAs Went to …
Good times last night at the Taft Theatre, as the 11th annual Cincinnati Entertainment Awards music program went off with nary a hitch. The celebration of local music is more about the communal spirit of our local scene (as well as a big "thank you" from CityBeat for making Cincinnati a more bearable place to live) than it is the actual awards (I know, tell that to the "losers," right?). But awards were indeed given out. Here's who won what:

Amazing !!! The Pinstripes CD "The Decay" is so tight. Can't believe this band isn't being heard all over the radio.
