2011 DMV AWARDS RECAP

HELLO BLOGOSPHERE!  AS PROMISED, I WANTED TO PRESENT THE ENTIRE 2011 DMV AWARDS RESULTS TO THE ENTIRE MARYLAND/DC/NORTHERN VIRGINIA REGION AND BEYOND.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MY BOOK TO RECOGNIZE THOSE THAT HAVE PUT THEIR LIVES AND SOULS INTO A MUSIC THEY LOVE, NO MATTER GENRE.  EVEN THOUGH THE AWARDS PROGRAM DIDN'T END ON A BRIGHT NOTE, THERE CAN STILL BE SOLACE SOUGHT IN THE FACT THAT THE DMV AWARDS IS A MEANS TO UNIFY A COMMUNITY, NOT SEPARATE IT.  THIS NOTION WAS VERY EVIDENT WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE SOMETIMES UNRECOGNIZED SISTER CITY TO THE NORTHEAST OF DC KNOWN AS BALTIMORE.  WITH NO FURTHER ADIEU, HERE ARE THE FULL RESULTS FROM THE 2011 DMV AWARDS!
