Plog’s two sisters took the home the Gold and Silver awards in the Blog category at the Kansas City Press Club’s Heart of America Awards banquet on Saturday night. Journalists in the Los Angeles Press Club, who judged our local contest, deemed Jason Harper’s Wayward Blog the best in Kansas City, followed by Charles Ferruzza and Owen Morris’ Fat City.

Judges called Harper’s blog “a funny, profane chronicle of the local music scene with an engaged and opinionated audience.” They said Fat City was “a moving-in-time portrait of a moveable feast, nicely balancing high and low tastes.” We like to think that special balance of high and low taste is the very essence of The Pitch.

Our print crew did pretty damn well, too.
