Thanks everyone, and thanks to all of you who voted. All the writers, from Tom Benjamin, Justine Galo, Jason Kurylo, Aaron Davis. The Mods of the board, Cornuck, Jovocop...you guys are stellar at keeping this place in check. And of course anyone who visits this place to read and talk about the Canucks, all of you deserve my gratitude.

A special thanks also to Kevin Kinghorn, Tina Rogers and Nicole VanZanten from the Vancouver Canucks who have included this site in their social media programs and helped raise our profile.

Here's to and even better year in 2012!

So I hope Brian still gets an award from Urban Culture Conference. After getting people to vote for the blog and then suddenly not have the big night happen was a little weird.

Today, my Visa was refunded for the conference passes and received an email:
Invoice

Event Name: Urban Culture Conference + Awards
Organizer: Urban Culture Conference
Order Number: 45011121
Refund Amount: C$139.78
Note from Organizer: We are sorry to announce that have to cancel the 2011 Urban Culture Conference + Awards. Please see this blog post for more details:
Apparently they had not enough sponsors and/or interest to get this going. I say their marketing team and sales team just didn't know what their doing. They got the word out before the NHL playoffs started, which meant they had more than 5 months to get their shit together for the event. It's too bad, I was hoping to get to know the urban culture scene more in the city. I just hope all the award winners do get their awards from the conference despite it being cancelled.
