As many of you have heard both the GongTi and BeiDa Kro's Nests will be closing as of July 20th. Before we do though, we're gonna have one more party. After going to so many boring award shows recently we've decided to throw our own. No you don't get to vote, we can stuff a ballot just fine thank you. Awards shows aren't about democracy anyway, they're about getting drunk in nice clothes, and ruining those clothes in pizza eating contests. Once our main locations are closed, and the withdrawal sets in, be sure to check out our new location at BeiTaiPingQiao.

Award recipients include City Weekend, The Beijinger, That's Beijing, Chef Too, the Saddle Cantina, Vics, The Tubestation, Club Sandwich, The Olive, Pyro Pizza, Smugglers, Kokomo, D22, CMC, Matt Schrader, Lee Mack, Blake Stone, Chef Billy, Jose Cuervo, Jackie, Brendan Koeniger, Nestor Santana, Candice Lee, and dark horse candidate the Kro's Nest.

Speeches and photo ops will not only be encouraged, but mandatory. So come celebrate the last week of the Kro's Nest at GongTi till after the Olympics, at the only awards show where the reader's choice doesn't matter.
