We're not huge fans of patting our own backs at Unfair Park; I know, that's so hard to believe, right? So we'll just accept the congratulations of our friends at FrontBurner, who make mention this afternoon of our weekend win at the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies conference, where Unfair Park was named best blog at a weekly with a circulation of 60,000-plus.
